Polyvinyl Acetate. A "yellow" glue. aka Carpenter's Glue. It's water resistant and dries flexible.

Not "snobby" at all. Used this kind of glue when I was 10 to make model rockets and rubber powered planes. Just try to minimize that pricy CA stuff that hurts my eyes. $3.49 for 8 oz is hardly "pattè de foie glue"
I've never heard Carpenter's glue described as Polyvinyl Acitate, only as Alphatic Resin. To an extent, it is the same as White glue. Titebond, Elmer's Carpenter glue, it's all similar.

I have many different kinds of glues, they all have different purposes. I know the different purposes, from using glues over many years. I won't list or inform of the uses, as I don't want to be considered a "GLUE SNOB"!

Wait a minute, if I list and describe, then I am a "GLUE SNOB"; but, if I don't describe, then I'm just a plain snob! Dang, I wish I would never have read this thread!
