Clag is an Australian brand of glue made by Bostik.

History

Clag was first trademarked in 1898 by Joseph Angus, manufacturer, of 216 Nicholson Street, North Fitzroy, Melbourne. The National Archives of Australia holds the original trademark application - a digitised version is available online (see References). The exact composition of the original paste is unknown but is thought to have been starch-based.

Many arts and crafts experts say that Clag Glue looks like Semolina.
