Glues and Adhesives

[JValaVIDI@xxxxxxx]

  John B. did a great job of identifying some of the major adhesive
manufacturers.  I personally have worked with Norland and Loctite and they
are generally happy to try to solve your problems (it helps to tell them your
going to buy a whole bunch).  Another outfit called Master Bond also has just
about every kind of adhesive imaginable (sorry I don't have an address).
 Norland specializes in UV cure bonding agents while Loctite caries both
those and Industrial Strength (no pun intended) "Super Glues".

   As far as "Paper Friendly" glues go, you should really get a hold of a
"Light Impressions" catalog (call 800-828-6216 8am-9pm EST).  This is also an
EXCELLANT catalog for  archival supplies, small light boxes (for mounting
Realist pairs and whatnot), loupes, and all kinds of other professional
quality photographic paraphernalia.  This is a case of "you get what you pay
for", you're sure to get quality stuff from these folks!  Don't be shy to buy
something nice for your hobby.
