Thermosetting glue

I know that I will be indicted by some as a heathen
for this question but, frankly, who cares?
     I do a lot of player work, and for years have
wondered if there is a glue that has the properties of
hide glue ( softens when heated, perhaps water
soluble, etc..)  but ISN'T.  I do not particularly
enjoy breathing the reek of animal sinews steaming
away under my nose ( somewhat toxic) all day, but do
not wish to use an irreversible glue on a stack,
either.
     The water soluble aspect makes removal of
residues easy, but I would even consider non - aqueous
(such as glue gun) if there was one that set up slowly
enough to get the pneumatics pressed firmly into place
before it gets too tight to locate them.  And this may
 be a benefit in regions ( like mine ) where humidity
swings tend to loosen hide glue, anyway.As long as the
pneumatics could be removed in the future. I'm
interested. Anyone?
