USPS announces new water-soluble pressure-sensitive adhesive ... will others follow suit?

"... pressure-sensitive adhesive that is "water soluble, enabling philatelists to remove these special stamps from envelopes ... by soaking them in plain water." ..."

Just when you thought it was safe to stop collecting new issues!

PSA = Pressure Sensitive Adhesive

WAG = Water Activated Gum

WSPSA = Water Soluble Pressure Sensitive Adhesive ?

re: new water-soluble pressure-sensitive adhesive

if you shock a monkey or a dog often enough, he begins to avoid the offending spot, and to get him back takes far more effort than to teach him to stay away
