It's really good to find out that the white glue I remember from
childhood in Iowa and California is no longer what is marketed in the US. The description of the NZ product is exactly what I remember using. It dried clear. And you used it for everything. It came in a white squeeze bottle and we usually bought Elmer's. They must have changed the formulation when I wasn't looking. I've only seen the yellow "wood" glue in the last few years. Now, I'll have to remember not to buy white glue for my permanent projects.
I'm confused by your statement. I used Elmer's white glue as a child as well. It did dry clear. But it was NOT waterproof then, and I doubt it is waterproof now, though I haven't had occasion to use it for many years. It was specifically marketed for use in gluing paper, and it did that job well, but I would not use it for fabric (except maybe for gluing pieces of fabric to PAPER for an art project) or anything else.
