I don't know that we get Elmers glue up here ....I haven't seen it ......but after a lot of experimentation over the years , I stick to ( oops 
) a product called WELDBOND . It's made in Ontario so I don't know if they distribute down your way or not , but here's what I like about it :
1. It forms a very strong bond that sets quickly ( 10 minutes , dries in a couple of hours ) and will bond many different surfaces ....wood , cardboard , plastic , glass etc .
2. It drys clear , not opaque like some white glues , or yellow like carpenters glue .
3. Getting the stuff to release requires a few seconds time with a HAIR DRYER ! That way you don't have to be sloshing water/soap on your layout .
The whole Ebbetts Field ball park project , on the Scratchbuit Forum , was built with WELDBOND and yes , we did have to move things on a few occasions . The hair dryer method worked perfectly .
Other white glues may release with the hair dryer ....do a little experimenting .

To err is human, to blame it on somebody else shows management potential.
