Re: [BKARTS] reversible, archival glues

[Kathleen Garness <kmgfinearts@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, my final question is: are all PVAs pretty much the same or are  
there a lot of individual differences across brands - Ph, tackiness,  
flexibility when dry, etc.? I see a wide price spread between Jade  
(I'm talking the regular PVA, not the reversible one) and the Lineco  
one offered by archivalsuppliers.com, and Promacto and Rhoplex also  
offered by Talas, plus the PVA I purchase at Paper Source  
sometimes... How do you know what to buy? And how they'll survive  
years of storage?

Are there other considerations I should know about? Whatever we end  
up with, I'll probably end up using this for my box and book-making  
work too...

thanks lots,

Kathy
