That was awesome. Is "Copydex" (?) Available in the US? Or does anyone know of a North American brand substitute?

Just do a search for water based latex glue.

What a good idea. I have been looking for a way to provide flexible patches to lay over terrain boards to break up the colour and pattern.

Well, crap. I will have to find a different adhesive.

Anyone have a suggestion for a replacement flexible adhesive for those of us allergic to latex?

@Lion – Have you tried thin applications of silicone?

Latex allergy is a contact dermatitis. Therefore, don't let it contact your skin. Use gloves when handling latex. For comfort, I recommend nitrile gloves. I also have a latex allergy.
