My apologies for the clumsiness of the dual questions here. I don't know how to make LJ polls correlate stuff any better than this.

[Poll #1100464]

My coworker, who is about six months younger than I am, has seen and touched wallpaper paste. So have I. I remember, though, that it wasn't long before the paste was manufactured as part of the paper, and with that step done, wallpaper hanging involved a big tray of water. So I'm curious in a completely unscientific way. Plus polls are fun. :)

Then there is pre-Elmer's glue paste. I remember eating that in grade school, but then I am one year shy of starting my sixth decade. Elmer's glue just doesn't have that full bodied texture and starchy flavor of paste.

Would that be the same as "library paste"?

Yeah. Glue is just too runny.
