These cards will refer to plant-based paste as "paste" most of the time. |

|
Which bindery glue is almost never used in a mixture, but often used before acetate? |
Gelatin |
|
|
Order the glues from fastest drying to slowest drying. |
1. PVA 2. Gelatin 3. Paste 4. MC |
|
|
What is the main benifet from adding MC to plant-based paste adhesives? |
The mixture will not mold, unlike paste on its own. |
|
|
What are some branded names of PVA glue? |

|
|
Which adhesive must be applied hot like a glue gun? |
Gelatin |
|
|
How long can paste be stored for effectively if it is in cold but above-freezing temperatures and airtight? |
2-3 days |

What are some benefits of mixing paste and PVA glues? |
- less paper buckle than PVA alone - slow drying - easier application - can be thinned by addition of more paste |
|
|

- PVA and MC - PVA and paste |
|
|
Which adhesive is water-soluble, but only when wet? |
PVA |
|

Which glue molds the fastest? |
paste |
|
|

1. PVA 2. gelatin 3. paste 4. MC |
|
|
What is a common buffer for use in wheat paste solutions? |
calcium carbonate |
|
|
Which adhesive comes in powdered form and required the addition of water like that gross but delicious cheese that comes in Kraft Dinner packages? |
methyl cellulose (MC) |
|
|
When using PVA and paste mixtures, Heavier and tougher surfaces generally require more of which glue? |
