I always thought that Elmer's white glue was white glue. I used up all I had on hand for the small modular layout I helped build earlier this month. I went to Michael's craft store this morning to replenish my supply......there's a difference?
The glue on the left is about $2 cheaper than the glue on the right.....I can't tell a difference. What am I missing?

I think the school glue is supposed to be more washable (soluble?) i.e. easier to dissolve with water or wash away, something like that. I seem to remember this as it wasn't too long ago I was taking our two kids to Michael's for a variety of school projects that required glue etc.

Thanks, Mike......I figured something like that.....but, is there a difference when you use it to affix ballast?

That I do not know. 
I never tried using the school stuff on any of my own projects.
Saw this on a Blog:
What is the difference between Elmer's School Glue and Elmer's Glue All?
The main difference is that when the school glue dries more of it can be removed "in the wash" than the glue all. The school glue is a lighter, more water soluble glue even after drying. Most of the glue all will remain after it dries. Both are safe and non-toxic.

Thank you!
