If you ask for too many they get suspicious. If you rant about incompetency in selecting glue, you'll probably be put on a waiting list! ;-) I used Elmer's white glue, but found that I had to make more calls to New Jersey. Seems strong, but they eventually fall off. Maybe the $10AUS per dot is a hint at long range planning -- If too few M's and R's can be sold, they can keep going for years on Red Dots.
