[NHCOLL-L:4549] Jade R glue for herbarium specimen mounting

[Kent D. Perkins]

We currently use Jade 403 (PVA) for mounting herbarium specimens.  I 
recently noticed that Jade R (EVA, i believe) is available from Talas 
(http://talasonline.com/products/bookbinding.cfm).  It is fully 
reversible whereas Jade 403 is not.

According to Talas: "acid free archival adhesive provides a very strong 
bond similar to that of the Jade 403 with the added advantage of being 
reversible with water after it has dried."

Does anyone have experience with this glue?

Thanks,
Kent
