[Sca-cooks] Fruit Paste - Boxes!

[Holly Stockley]

I've actually used those.  Michael's has had the 4" ones on sale for real 
cheap.  But I've gotten an off flavor, and it makes me worry a little about 
hot sugar paste in contact with a non-foodsafe adhesive.  Anybody know 
anything about woodworking adhesives in these sorts of situations?
