Ah! Useful.  I hadn't thought of them

Catalyst + paste mixed you mean?  Does it have a reasonable pot life?  I 
can see that from a practical point of view that would be a bit 
better.  The advantage with the Aerolite is economy, since the water+powder 
mixture is good for months, so if you mix too much, you don't waste 
anything -- and I always make too much glue!  It's not as cheap as it used 
to be, especially the rabbitskin.
