I am trying to communicate to a woman on another board what Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) glue is. White glue, craft glue, Elmer's Glue.

I've tried a couple of Russian/English dictionaries online, but that didn't work. There is something called White Russian Glue, but the word 'phenix' or something like that was related to it, which doesn't sound right.

Anybody?
