Kim:

A great alternative to rubber Cement is YES glue. It is a water-based safe
product that can be repositioned, etc. I'm not sure about masking, but it
sure works as a great glue! It is a little pricey - $12.00/quart. It is
the consistency of the old kid's paste in a jar. Can be spread very thin
and also be thinned w/water. Check it out! I believe they have a web
site.
