;~) Yeah. So back in the 60's there was a glue for school. Glass
tapered bottle with a rubber application tip with a slit. Turn upside
down push tip against the project and the crown tinted glue would uze
out.

It was "mint" flavored. what???

Some glues are VERY edible. At one time, some glues were made using egg
whites. (Ever notice how sticky they are when you crack an egg and it gets
on your fingers?)

They might still be used.

The glass tapered bottle with the tip with a slit was "mucilage". It
was in my experience utter crap. However it was not toxic.

Yes! That was it!



The "school glue" today is typically some kind of casein based "white
glue"--in other words it's derived from milk or if not derived from
anymore has the same chemistry as.
