I thought that EVA stood for the Ethylene Vinyl Acetate group of plastics which are normally solid at room temperatures and are often used in glue guns. I know that there has been some controversy about the "A" in PolyVinyl Acetate and PolyVinyl Alchohol.\nRupert\n\n> Elmer's Glue is a family menber of the PVA group but like all other families, all the members are different. This group of adhesives is now known as EVA.\n> Elmer's is less flexible and doesn't age as well as other EVA's. I advise Elvace or if you wish a soluble EVA.\n>\n> You can find the board, the adhesive, and the Japanese paper at :\n> BOOK ARTS SUPPLY CO.\n> 888-383-2158 or 302-478-2158\n>\n> Regards,\n> Ed Stansell\n> Craft Bookbinding Co."
