Is gator grip any better/worse/different from normal PVA glue?

 

That's a good question, one that I myself can't answer yet. I ordered and received the stuff, but I have not had a chance to use it. Hopefully someone else can chime in. I'd be interested in the answer too.

What is interesting is that it has a creamy consistency and it's made from acrylic.  This got me to thinking that this is nothing more than artists modeling paste, which is also acrylic. It looks just like it. If that is the case--then I wasted $8 and change because I already have modeling paste, and for a few bucks more, a person can get a whole bunch more of the stuff from an art supply store than what you are sent under the Gator brand. Maybe they add additional binders to the mix, I can't say. Too funny though. If its modeling paste, I'd have to hand it to whomever for repurposing and marketing it as some newfangled product.

I've never used PVC glue or modeling paste so it may be the same thing. Whatever it is it works for me. Wink
