Well....after the months of campaigning, the torrid slurs and counter slurs, the street protests and the endless chanting of fellow PVA users the prayers of those within the adhesive service-users forum have been gifted the magic of the glue spreader.
tired of having fingers seeming webbed after just minutes of craft, every paint brush in the house solid and unyielding?..well no more!...based on a design from a collaboration between Frank Whittle and Alan Turing based roughly on an oar that helped Cambridge to victory by over a servants quarters length at the 1929 Oxford V Cambridge boat race.
Whittle and Turing came together as Whittling Industries and soon realised that cold water filled with sewage and detritus that was the Thames of the late 30's was exactly the same viscosity as PVA glue - thus a simple sculling accident in which Whittles man servant was accidentally tarred with "the soil of the people" reminding him instantly of the gentle play of glue across the 125/gsm paper of his youth...was the serendiptous chance for an idea to be born.
Originally made of Giant panda fur and the patella of a blue whale, Whittling realised the advantages to both themselves as Adhesive service providers and their customers that plastic was an easier option - as both the Whittle and Turing families had respectively been struck by exotic animal gout from the quantities of bush meat finding their ways to the family dining table...waste not want not...
I implore you, friends put down your brushes, tacky fingers and aging cutlery commissioned to the pursuit of craft activities and click "buy now" for the plastic spreader. Spread well, spread true...stay non-tacky....
