Comment by James on September 20, 2010 at 4:42pm: The glue is super easy. I don't know how long it will keep, since you aren't supposed to put it in the fridge (according to the person who's recipe I modified, she said a few months). The original recipe was for envelope flaps and was for twice as much. If anyone wants that link just email me.

Licky Glue:

1 - 3oz. box Lemon Jello
2 - Knox Gelatin packets
1 cup vinegar
Lemon Extract (hope this adds more preserving power)

Bring vinegar to boil, stir in Jello and gelatin until dissolved. Don't put your face over that pot, you don't want to inhale a nose full of hot vinegar vapors.

I put it in a glass jar so that if it solidfied (cold in the house) then I could just put it on mug warmer to melt it.

I don't care so much, but found a carageenan based jello and tried it and it did not work, so there may not be a way to make this vegetarian.

So far with a sponge brush on most paper it curls a bit but doesn't get wrinkly and once it is dry i just press under a book for a bit and its back to normal. Then just perforate/cut, lick and stick!

Ps: that iddy book next to it is by raighane hogan & 2D Cloud and is printed on ellie poo paper
