This is the most esoteric post I've seen on HN in a while.

How many museum curators who need non-yellowing flexible thermoplastic are there on here?

Heh, I upvoted this a few days ago and it must've gotten on the second-chance queue.

Links to obsure but interesting Wikipedia articles are some of my favorite HN posts.

Could this be used to 3D print supports ? For now, the only thermoplastic I know of that can be used to this effect is HIPS in conjunction with d-limonene.

Huh. So it's a stronger, harder, less brittle, clear wood glue you can dissolve with acetone. Neat!

How does its strength compare to MMA structural adhesives? What materials is it compatible with?
