Subject: "Miracle Muck" ???
While searching for something else in the back of beyond I
came across a bottle of a white substance labelled
"Raphael's MIRACLE MUCK". I recall that someone on the
list (Chris, was that you?) found out about it somewhere
(at APIS?) and swore by it for something, so I may not
have been
the only one who purchased it from "Artisan/Santa fe, inc.
The Art Supply Source of the Southwest."
Mine has been opened and apparently used once, then tucked
out of sight, (and mind). The label says:
"Great adhesive for fabric! Non-yellowing. Marvelous for
joining frame corners, dries with slight elasticity. Use
with fabrics...most PVC products and wood. Best straight
from the bottle but may be thinned with small am't
water... Heat re-activable ..."
Which could be for anything, and finally,
"2.2 grams/liter V.O.C."
(whatever VOC is).
Clues, info, advice, haikus, whatever., appreciated....
Judy
I found rather a lot of information, incuding
instruction sheets, by (guess what) doing a Google search:-)
The little search window shows that they have had a quarter
million other inquiries.
It appears to be an adhesive which is repositionalble by
heating.
Instructions are at:

One site refers to it as ethylene vinyl acetate,
evidently VOC stands for Volitile Organic Coupound, which
might refer to this or perhaps some other ingredient. I was
unable to find an MSDS with a casual search but one must be
available.
