Ethulose adhesive forms a tough flexible film when dry
Easy to prepare: simply dust the correct amount of Ethulose onto the surface of well-stirred water, stir until the mixture thickens, and let it stand overnight until fully dissolved
A 4% solution in water is about as viscose as honey; 8 to 10% solutions are gels and typically do not flow
These solutions may be diluted with pure ethyl alcohol to produce solutions where water alone would stain or defibrillate the paper items
Ethulose solutions do not support bacteria or mould growth
