    Sorry, not buying painted writing, painted in pretty much anything, surviving over 100 years outdoors looking like that.

    A literal engraved headstone would have significant wear on the writing.

    This reeks of a fake touristy ghost town headstone.

      I had to look it up:

      “A thick, white, water soluble, sweet-tasting adhesive that was commonly used in libraries and schools for paper and cardboard**. Library paste is usually made from Dextrin, a water-soluble modified starch. Some formulations may contain Starch, Gum arabic and Bone glue.”

      E: of course now I want to know Bone Glue is…

        When they talk of making glue from horses’ hooves, that’s what they’re talking about. Similar to gelatin.

          The fact that it being sweet-tasting is one of the first line items of its definition is interesting. I’ve heard of “eating paste” being something stupid characters do in older media, and I never thought about why one would eat paste. I thought they were eating modern PVA/white glue or maybe wood glue.
