Yes the glue for mounting of insects has to be watersolutable.
The good one is Weldbond Plus

  Hello,

  I was originally taught that insects should be prepared (pointed, repaired, etc.) with alcohol soluble glue.

  However, I recently read in an article that "glue should be water soluble" [Journal of Insect Conservation 
  7 (1): 33-44, March 2003].

  Is there a consensus on this?  If so, can someone recommend specific products?

  Thanks,
  Tim
