Plus, the Reference.com link says that the regular school glue is only made from man-made ingredients. Does that mean that it *does* migrate into the batting?

Plus, what kind of batting? Poly seems a lot less natural than some others, to me.

I have not had chemistry or physics, even in high school, so there's doubtless a lot I'm missing here.

Well I am easily confused! I thought elmers changed their formula to be made out of plant materials primarily. Someone upthread mentioned the migrating. I think the glue adheres better on cotton batting. I don't think I have any issues with it health wise so am going to continue to use it.
