The two primary suppliers - Schaff and Pianotek stopped carrying PVC-E within the last two years. I'd have to wait until next week to ask them. The Roo brand product is sold by Pianotek, while Schaff's version is LAM-300. They are similar but not the same. I found no specific (useful) response to Google query - why is PVC_E no longer manufactured.
There still appears to be some availability through Amazon, Ebay, or from secondary (?) suppliers such as Gemm, Howard, or Vandaking.
As with the question that arose earlier this week regarding differences between certain McLube products, the chemistry can be intimidating, past a point.

Subject: Glue Recommendation
Organ builders would use traditional animal glue - fish or hoof glue.
The advantage of the old glues is that they can be undone with heat or steam. The disadvantage is that they can shrink too much if really dry or come apart in excessive dampness, although in the latter case other things would be damaged at such humidities.
Best wishes

What is a good (best?) glue for a leather to gloss-painted metal surface?
