Woodland Scenic Cement question

Yup, a pva type. Purportedly a lower viscosity and higher price than Elmer's, etc.

I just use a 50-50 Elmers + water w/ a 'drop' of dish soap. Seems to work just fine. I bought a gallon of Elmer's at the local Michael's, rather than be nickled & dimed with the little bottles. I reuse the little bottles.

Sounds like white glue + water would do the same job cheaper.

Hint: Forget brand-name Elmers. Buy the white glue bottles at the local dollah store ($1 each, natch). Same stuff but cheaper.

My experience has been brand-name Elmer's usually goes on sale for a quarter a bottle sometime around the school year.

I've also found that not all white glues are the same, and can leave a hazed surface even when they say "dries clear". This was the Rose Art brand that did that.

YMMV, mine did. :-)

A *gallon* of Elmer's is still cheaper than the *little* white glue bottles, even at a $1 each. They are what, 8oz each? A gallon is

128oz, 128/8 = 16. I don't think I paid $16 for that gallon jug of Elmer's. Nope a Google search yields:

And it looks like I bought that gallon at Staples, not Michael's, where the current price is: $15.79, still (barely) cheaper than 16 8oz bottles at $1 each at the dollar store.

Looks like the gallon might be cheaper after all.

I get 16 oz. bottles at the dollah store for a buck, but it'd still be cheaper to get the gallon bottle.
