This product was perfect for my diorama project. It comes out in a white school glue-type consistency, but don’t worry it will dry clear. It has great adhesion and the items I glued have not budged since I used it. As far as how long it lasts, I will have to get back to you as a little went a long way for me. I can say that this has a non-offensive scent and holds as if it is industrial grade.
