Re: [BKARTS] reversible, archival glues

Well, the obvious ones are wheat paste and hot glue--made from horses'
hooves or animal skins.  They've been used for centuries and survive and
continue to do their jobs pretty well over the time span.

So, again, thanks for all the informative posts. Are there any tried-
and-true glues that seem to have remained stable and archival? Are
there ways of testing, accelerating aging conditions so you can
anticipate what products will do over time? I hear good things about
Jade. I had no idea there were so many different glues out there!

Thanks,

Kathy
