Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, those in favour of the use of glue in the production process do so from the incomplete production process being recorded, and pictorials showing the process done in the home, so not a complicated process, just as Greek plays masks, and Egyptian mummification prob used glue and linen to get the effect they were after, and re production shows glue and vinegar etc, does have a place in the production process and were all common elements in common use, so on balance it’s a prob it was used. Internet is full of books translating the use of glue in linen production for shields, and for linen armour that predate the example of the translations already given, so for me is not a very good reason to doubt its use.
