PVA glue = "White" glue
By Ron Yost

Hi all!

The other day someone asked about where to buy PVA glue.  I don't
recall him getting a straight answer.  Well, it's simply ordinary
"white" glue.  The PVA means Poly Vinyl Acetate.  "Yellow" glue is
also PVA (modified).

Here in the U.S., the most common brand is "Elmer's Glue-All", made
by the Bordon Co. in Columbus, Ohio.  Read all about their products
here:

One thing though .. if you use PVA you have to promise to -never-
glue anything with it that will someday need replaced! ;-)
That's what hot-hide-glue is for.

Jerry Seinfeld has a good glue-related line in his act:

"They make glue out of horses and cows, but I wonder how they find
the sticky ones??"  :-)

All gummed-up in Paso,
