Water-soluble glue is best for a numbe of reasons, even Elmer's, hide glue, etc.

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
