Is PVA glue the same as Elmer's Glue, Tacky Glue, white or school glue? I've been reading several modeling websites and it seems that the European sites always refer to white glue as "PVA". I realize that the glues have different consistency and other properties, but are they are based on the same type of glue, or is PVA something completely different?

To the best of my knowledge PVA/white glue/Elmers are the same thing. Tacky glue is a slightly different formula with less water content and is, well, tacky from the moment you use it. Aleene's is a brand readily available in the U.S. and it's what I use for most of my paper model work these days.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I'm also a fan of Tacky Glue. It used to even be thicker (like spackle or icing) and come in tubs, but I haven't seen it for sale like that in a long time...

In spain PVA, white glue and school glues is the same. There are stroger PVA than others PVA, but all are the same.

I haven't tried it myself but proper bookbinders glue is supposed to be really good for card models, PVA based but less water content.
