Looking for help with an adhesive

Looking for help with an adhesive

Looking for help with an adhesive

(OP)
I need some help in finding a source of an adhesive identical to what is used in fly ribbon.  I believe it is a petroleum base that adheres to paper.  It needs to be sticky enough to hold insects, but allows paper to be seperated from itself if it is glued together.  I have no background with adhesives, so any guidance would be appreciated.

RE: Looking for help with an adhesive

I believe the insect strips are often coated with very viscous polybutene or polyisobutylene.  BASF makes them or you could find them via Goggle.
