As others point out, it is a polyurethane which foams on curing. In my
experience, polyurethanes do not have the stability of older glues and
degrade over time. I personally would not use it on an item that I would
want to keep around for a long time.
Crosslinked, or cured resins are not soluble in solvents but may be
plasticized, or absorb enough solvent to soften and be able to be
physically removed.
