[Milsurplus] Battery Glue?

John:

I have encountered hot-melt glue in later battery asemblies.  I have no idea how far back that goes, whenever it was introduced, I suspect.  As far as WW2, some of those packs were wax coated, and was probably held together by the wax, however that process works.  In between, I would suspect some light weight wood glue (casein?) or whatever was used for cardboard in general back then.  Google historical glueing processes and see what pops.

Hi,

Many of the standard ( A, B, & C ) purpose built battery packs from WW II
and Korea were up made of assemblies of cells in cardboard boxes. In an
effort to replicate them, I'd like to take some old ones appart.

Does anybody know what kind of glue was used to assemble the cardboard boxes?

Thanks,

-John
