This glue is great. I needed to pad some 3x5 index cards (use to buy these already padded but can't find them any place any more) and this glue is just the ticket. Worked great and I had pads of index cards in no time.

I've used this glue for years in my junk journal making. I have found it works great paper to paper...and cloth to paper. I use i to reinforce washi tape. I have purchased small bottles with a needle applicator for precise gluing. I live in Minnesota and do not recommend ordering this in the winter; if it freezes the glue is ruined.

A few months back I watched some videos on how to make your own sketchbooks with the perfect binding method. They stressed the importance of getting the right bookbinding glue but I thought I knew better since I had some white PVA glue already on hand. It was Weldwood which is a really good glue. I made 5 different size books but all the pages started falling out. I just lived with it and added some piece of tape to hold my sketches in. It looked terrible. I figured I would just buy premade sketchbooks in the future. Then, I finally decided to purchase special bookbinding glue like I had learned about. I took apart my books and removed the tape. I re-glued each with the Books By Hand PVA glue. What a difference! It dries super flexible yet it is strong. All my handmade sketchbooks now are fixed and work great. I highly recommend this glue for any bookbinding project or repair. Now I can continue to make my own sketchbooks and save money by doing it. Great product and well worth it.

Great product. I used it to make an "end of the year" gift for my child's teacher (a giant book filled with students' quotes and several one dollar bills) and it worked perfectly. The teacher will be able to tear out the money and keep the quotes in the book forever. It was easy to use and was not messy at all (which I was concerned about). It was way better to use this than to use rubber cement b/c it is less messy and it just looks better when it dries. A little goes a long ways too so this bottle will last a long time. I did make the mistake of cutting the top (mine came with a pointy top unlike the one pictured here) down too low so please pay attention to that. I ended up buying another plastic bottle to store it in so it doesn't dry up. That was my mistake though and not the fault of the company that made it. As I said, this is a great product to bind books that you or your children make. I would also use it to repair old books that are falling apart.

Been using this glue to convert my single, floppy issues of comics into larger collections of glue bound comic collections. So far I have had great success using this glue to bind as many as 24 single issues of comics together (that do have some ad pages removed and the binding edge cut clean). Works great, especially if you have a binding jig (easy to make your own) and apply a few layers of the glue and some cardboard to create a nice thick, flexible bind.Easy to work with, great drying time, and remains flexible after dried. Also very little odor which is a big bonus when you live in a smaller area.

I used this book binding glue to repair my granddaughter's Bible. It's easy to use, and a little goes a long way. I poured just a little into a ramekin and used a small paint brush to apply the glue not only to the binding, but also to some torn pages. It applies smoothly and dries quickly. That being said, I always put wax paper next to any part of the book I have glued and leave it there for a day or so just to be sure the glue does not cause one page to stick to another inadvertently.

I used this on four books thus far. Two were hard cover and two were softcover. One was antique, two were vintage, and one was new-ish. None of the books were damaged or negatively altered by the glue.For three with the cover completely off, I used book repair tape to keep the pages together, then applied this glue to the back of the tape and set it into the cover. After leaving each book under a larger book for a few hours, the glue was dry and the books were like new. The spines felt firm and secure. I could open them and turn the pages without anything moving out of place.The fourth book had the edges of the paged attached, but the middle completely separated. I used a long piece of bailing wire to spread this against the loose part and then set with a book on top again. It also fixed it completely.

This glue did wonders for a old Bible binding that came loose, I glued it back up and it's holding stronger than ever
