The last vial of my favorite BioQuip insect glue (see the pic) is about to run out.
Does anyone know how it can be replaced? Is it supposed to be
cellulose (nitrocellulose?) dissolved in acetone?
I am not interested in Elmer's or any other type of glue.
Thank you in advance

Before BioqIuip shut down the equipment side,I bought a few extra things, I have an unused bottle of this item, it's an extra, and I doubt I'll ever need it.
I'll sell or trade it to you.
the real question is how to safely remove glue from specimens...
I got plenty of old material with botched antenae repairs that just look terrible. Usually just a massife drop of glue on the head with antenae glued whenever they dropped on the glue. It does not disolve in water, maybe acetone could help? Wonder if anybody has any experience with glue removal process.
Fixing a botched antennae sounds stressfull.
At least for "super glues" I use a material from Amazon called Super Solvent, it will make short work of any cyanoacrylate glues.
it's an alcohol/nitroalkanes based solvent, whatever that means.
