<p>Aware of the unreliability and short-lived nature of rubber glue, I only use glue that lasts forever. I use one single German adhesive, “UHU All Purpose Adhesive”, and all my collages are made with it. There's also "UHU Creativ Cardboard & Craft Paper", but it's noticeably more expensive and has no different qualities to its counterpart. </p>
<p>I very much hope that the company UHU will continue to supply its products to the East, to Moscow.</p>

<p>Thank you for the Golden GAC 100 recommendation! I can't wait to try some.</p>

<p>Recently I started using a specialty paste-like glue that is from Japan and made specific for origami paper (Yamato Nori Rice sticking paste). It can be found in shops that specialize in origami paper and supplies - which I realize outside of Japan or San Francisco and Los Angeles, might be harder to find.</p>
<p>Currently I am in Mexico where I just finished a large scale art piece, I ran out of GAC 100 and had to supplement it with a local glue. I liked it so much, I am taking an extra bottle home to SF. It's like a heavy-duty version of Elmers - <span>Pegamento Resistol 850. </span></p>

<p>I love YES! paste. It doesn't make paper buckle and, if it dries up, you can spritz on water and it comes back to life. </p>

<p>Favorite glue, the only glue that does the job for me anyway: Neutral pH Adhesive, archival quality by LINECO. It is "permanent, dries clear and remains flexible".</p>

I use Golden's soft gel medium in my collage artworks and now in mail art. It's the best I've found archivally and every other way. You do need to use a cheap brush, so it can get slightly messy, but hey, what is art without mess. The soft gel medium works well for adhering many (most) types of paper, but if you want to glue something quite heavy, such as thick cardboard, then Golden's heavy gel medium or extra heavy gel medium does it.

<p>I use archival PVA bookbinders glue for heavy duty items that won't wrinkle. Most of the time, I use Premium BEST-TEST White Rubber Paper Cement. It's acid-free and does not wrinkle or curl stamps, <em>et al. </em> This glue is very thin when dry and not like cheaper office supply rubber cement you might find. Only good art stores carry it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In some cases, I do use glue sticks, don't feel that they will hold up over the years.</p>
