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.

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