Re: [BKARTS] reversible, archival glues

[Deanna Jay Chu Nim <falada@xxxxxxx>]

A book artist friend of mine asked me once to bring some English  
flour back to California
for her, as that flour has more gluten. Just a cautionary tale: at  
Heathrow we were searched
thoroughly. It seems they thought the flour could be part of an  
explosive device.
