Materials Clarification Regarding Materials Needed as Referenced in Ryo Yoshida's BJD Dollmaking Book

Hi all,

Downloaded the translation of Yoshida Style BDJ Dollmaking Book I and purchased the book and had some questions about the materials and wondering if anyone could help me understand the US-based equivalents of a few items so I can know what to get.

Here are the ones I have questions about (mainly about the glues and wet ingredients - translations from the book are in black and my comments/questions are in red):

5. G-Clear adhesive (clear-drying glue – rubber cement?)
1. A rubber-type fast acting adhesive. This can bond many types of materials, including solid plastic and elastic items. This is the type of adhesive that must be applied to each side of the object to be glued, and held together for about 10 minutes to set. Make sure you push the two sides together as strongly as possible to make sure the adhesive sets. Would E6000 work for this?

6. Carpenter’s Glue (Wood Glue)
1. A water-permeable, vinyl-type adhesive that can be used for gluing paper, wood, fabric, and other similar materials. It’s white when wet, but turns clear as soon as it sets. Because it is water-based, it will not stain or damage your materials, which is the strong point of this adhesive. I'm not sure what to use for this. I googled "Carpenters glue" and "wood glue" and it appears that wood glue is yellow, not white as specified in the translation. PVA based Elmer's glue is white, but I don't think it dries clear or is what is being referred to here.

7. Fast-setting glue/Superglue
1. A chemical-based adhesive. The glue reacts chemically with moisture in the atmosphere in order to solidify almost constantly. It can quickly and strongly bond together many types of materials. However, it is weak against strong impacts, so there may be cases when it is necessary to add reinforcement. So would Gorilla superglue work here, or E6000, or some other type of US-based equivalent?

8. Compound
1. An abrasive material used for erasing small chips or fine damage, as well as polishing and cleaning up the surface. It can be used in either liquid or half-solid form by applying to a soft cloth. This can also be used to polish and finish off glass and acrylic eyes, as well as repairing small chips and damages to both sides of the eyes. I have no idea what "Compound" is, sounds like a vague term.

Modeling paste
This is a water-based acrylic polymer emulsion product, a white paste of the consistency of strongly sticky putty. It is used for foundation coating and for building up. It has excellent pliability and durability. What is this? What is the US-based equivalent product?

Gofun
A fine powder made from pure sea-shells, this is the characteristic painting material of Japanese painting. It’s not only used as a white paint, but also for foundation coating. In my work, I use foundation-type gofun, but this is not usually sold in small quantities. I think you should be able to get hold of Ijirushi (伊印) and Yukijirushi (雪印)-type bagged gofun in stores that deal in Japanese arts supplies.
What is the US-based equivalent product?

I haven't read the whole book yet, in fact just barely scratched surface here so probably have more materials questions not captured in this post but, thank you I appreciate your help!! :3
