Can it be bought off the shelf anywhere ? Theo

It is a bit difficult to find off the shelf.
The two sources that I found about a year ago were:

There is good article on glues in the Encyclopedia Britannica 11th Edition, published around 1911, also in the 9th though it has much of the same information. These are great references for old knowledge, often offering details that modern sources don't.

If you don't have access to a hard copy of these, a free online OCR version of the 11th can be found at:

Or there is a full scanned version on CD available at
