Hi, I was wondering what water base glue do you use when mounting small flies? I was told that "Gum arabic" is traditionally used but when I tried to use it, it seem to be too watery and not gluey enough to hold. When it dry it's very hard but it dry slow. Any suggestion / other glue recomendation? Thanks |

The Natural History Museum and many hymenopterists here usually recommend Secotine, but I am not sure where you'd get it from. |
