Yes Paul, wheat paste really does exist.  I took a grad level course at the
School of Library and Information Science at UWO last year, and the
conservator there swore by it.  It is very easy to use, does little if any
damage to the item, and can be removed very easily.  Also, it sticks very
well.  You should have little difficulty using it.  As I was a visiting
student to the school, I really didn't get too involved there, so I have no
idea where you would find it...perhaps someone else can give a hand here?
Good luck...
