When I needed to have a better hold than traditional glass glues like Klyr-Fire, I tried one of them. This glue is just called PVA and it is a PH neutral glue with no solvents and it is acid free.
It is made by Books By Hand out of Albuquerque, NM. It is mainly used for bookbinding since it is archival. I think I found it under bookbinding supplies in my search engine.
I use it full strenght and between layers even under a clear cap if the cap is placed precariously. I have never had a problem with it. I do vent my kiln to about 1000 at two rates that equal in time about 1 1/2 hours.

I don't know what kind of glue Elmer's Glue-All is (the commom white Elmer's), however, Elmer's Washable School Glue is actually a water soluble PVA glue. It can be found in small quantities at an office supply store such as Staples or in larger quantities at Dick Blick. I haven't used it for preparing fused items, but if a PVA glue is what's required, this should work.
