[NHCOLL-L:2347] Re: Insects and glue

[sam]

Not being a entomologist, nor an expert on any of this stuff, I prolly 
shouldn't be sticking my nose in here.  You guessed it, I'm going to anyway.

The bottle of Elmer's Glue-All I have smells a little acetic as it says in 
its MSDS.  It also states Glue-All has a pH of 5.  Isn't that a bit too low 
to be considered safe for insect specimens? If specimens fall off their 
points after some period of time, are you sure it's because of a failure of 
the adhesive?  Is it possible that the adhesive had chemically weakened the 
specimens near their points of attachment?

Now I'm gonna go pour a vodka, and watch a movie.
Good night all.......

Cheers
Sam
