Interesting…then he is part of thet history. Thanks for posting.

He did research to improve Elmers glue as well as many other types of adhesives Fortunately he started after the explosion He would also later work for Ash Stull when he was CEO of Linatex

He felt at the time that Ash did not get the credit for inventing Elmers glue but only got recognized later in life for his work

I don’t believe the original formuala is still available. Most glues that say they are waterproof are likely to be able to withstand only occastional exposure to water. You couldn’t make a floating miniature boat with it. I just looked up “waterproof glue,” and there are a few brands, but they all have specific definitions of how waterproof they really are. You might try looking this up so you can choose the one that is right for your needs.

That’s a question I would pose to your doctor. Elmer’s Glue may have different versions with different substances. Perhaps your child will be able to use some form but not another. Best wishes…never easy.

Thank you! You have made the comments section even more informative. Over the weekend, I’ll go through and add a note to your comment. If I had not been at a dinner sitting next to someone who explained to me about fish glue, I never would have gotten this far!
Thanks for posting!

Thank you so much for the additional information. I’ve corrected the name. If it doesn’t show up on your page when you check it, refresh the page. The correction is there.
And I will hunt for the article you mentioned. Since there is no patent, the company did not ever reveal the exact ingredients or the name of the person or team that invented it. I would imagine that Ashworth Stull played a major part in it. I have a similar story about the fellow who developed Double Bubble gum. He was an accountant forthe Fleer Company who invented the gum in his spare time at home. They promoted him and put him on the board but he never profited separately for his invention.
Thank you so much for correcting the name.
All best,
Kate

If you would, please correct Ashworth’s name in your article. His name is Ashworth Stull not Ashton Stull.
