    Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue...

    Anybody use this stuff? Say, for dampers, etc? 

    If so, how do you like it, and more importantly, how well does it last in comparison to HH glue (which has stood the test of time)?

    What data do you have to offer?

    I use the flexible glue for vertical damper blocks to heads but hot hide glue for felt to heads. Years ago I tried a white glue on the damper felts on grand that is on a narrow peninsula.  They mostly fell off within a year and I needed to replace them and use hot hide glue. No more problems.
