Not taken as such. I just wondered what the status was on 
availability and pricing.

No problem. I'll wait and see what Jurgen comes up with.

Yes it does, as I mentioned. I wouldn't try to "improve" it. It's so 
close to the same in any direction that I just ignore the grain 
altogether.

Titebond, PVCE, Molding Glue, hot hide, etc. It glues just fine with 
everything I've tried. The only down side to the stuff that I've 
found is that it's hard to cut into little pieces. They tend not to 
separate easily when guillotined.
