You don't have rubber cement in Sweden? It's in every school supply section
in every store here (USA). If you don't like molten agarose, I wouldn't
recommend rubber cement. Despite what people have said about nail polish, it
worked well for us in the past.
To follow any threads (and there are many in the fluorescent proteins
newsgroup), go to www.bio.net, and search their archives.
