It's in the same bottle as the school glue and is also white. The only difference I saw was the label. I don't think Glue-All is washable. It was right next to the school glue and would be easy to pick up the wrong one if you didn't look at the label. We spend too much time and money on our quilts to ruin one with the wrong glue.
THANKS!! Margaret, I use Elmer's on my bindings and had planned to use it on one of my quilts I am ready to sandwich, (haven't done this before), but it seems that a lot do and why not try. I would need to purchase more, as I am about out , I will definitely be on the lookout for this.
Sometimes I do get the wrong things,especially when I am in a hurry if items are out of place and in the wrong section of the shelf, and thinking I'm picking up what I want.

I have noticed the " Glue All" bottles too. I had a very Large bottle of the non washable glue in my cupboard that I gave away to the neighbor kids to use so I would not accidentally use it myself on one of my quilts.

I just remembered. Elmers glue is what my dad used for his woodworking projects, so yes at least some of it is forever.

Thanks for sharing. I picked up the school glue today at WalMart and did notice the other next to it. My brain told me to watch which one I bought!! I didn't know the difference was washing it out.

I saw that...my Wally World had 3 different Elmer's. I haven't tried it, but great post to watch which one you buy.
