You might want to get a better opinion though.

I use this : http://www.mineralbox.biz/epages/15501820.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/15501820/Categories/Montagekitt
Very fine product and fast delivery.
I hope this helps.
Take care and best regards.

I've definitively switched to hot glue: no grease, better looking, cheap and easy to buy in each hardware store / big store.

Regardless, if you use tack to secure important specimens, check and if necessary replace it every year or so.
Hot glue is much maligned, mostly due to ignorance of how to remove it (it's much easier to remove hot glue from most specimens than stubborn dried up mineral tack remenants.

For oil or tack residual from delicate specimens I think you need some kind of solvent but, sorry, I can't help you in a better way.

Sorry for ignorance. White spirit og diesel? Do you have a link? Where to get it? Every time I search for it it brings up something different.

I think OT meant "White spirit or Diesel". An easy typing error!

There is a typo in my post. The white glue I use is "Sobo: Premium Craft & Fabric Glue".
