Books By Hand, PH Neutral PVA Adhesive, Acid-free, Water-Soluble, Dries Clear, Archival Quality PVA Formula, for Bookbinding, Book Repair, Framing, Collages, Paper Art and Crafts - 8 Ounce

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.

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.

This glue has been keeping my Bible in tack for over four (4) years now. I use my Bible every day, and it gets worn out a lot. For over four (4) years now, I have been glueing this Bible to keep it from falling apart. A lot of times, ~ 50 pages will separate from the Binder, and start falling out of the book. When I am done reading for the morning, I just glue the pages back in place, close the book, and put some other heavy books on top of it to put some good weight on it. The next morning, it's back together again, solid like new, ready for more good reading. God bless this glue...thanks for selling it! By the way, I read some other reviews that had concerns about it drying out over time. I am not a heavy user of this product. I still have plenty of glue remaining in this bottle, and I have had it for over 4 years now. The glue has never dried out on me. I have not had to repurchase this glue in this 4-year time frame. I just keep the cap on it, and it stays fluent. I never even need to use a nail to puncture the glue at the top of the bottle, like I do with all of the Caulking products out there. So no worries...just keep the cap on, store it in a heated and air-conditioned space, and you will be able to use this glue forever.

I have used bookbinding compound in my classroom to create student sketch books. This stuff works pretty well. I've used a different brand in the past, Lineco Pad Compound, and there are definitely some differences in the two... The Lineco brand is more expensive, but it works a little better. It goes on smoothly. Books by Hand dries quickly and leaves a messier, gummy finish. With the Lineco brand, I had fewer loose pages in the end. I could also leave it out in little containers all day and it wouldn't dry out by the time the next class came in. For 100 8x10 sketchbooks with about 40 pages, I only used about 1/4 of a bottle this size in the Lineco brand and about 1/2 of this bottle. So, a little of this stuff goes a long way!

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.

This is one of my favorite and most-used glues and as a crafter I have countless types of glue. Naturally I bought it because I was into bookbinding and making small notebooks (fully-bound like actual books, sewn and everything) and this type of glue was recommended. But I use it with all of my paper crafts because it is perfect for that. I am now into miniature bookbinding (making mini fully-bound books, minus the sewing, and making them into jewelry) and other mini paper products and this is the best glue. It remains very bendable yet strong after it dries and is enough to hold the entire text block of my miniature books together without the need to figure out miniature sewing. It is also great for paper pads because if you make a notebook and coat the spine with this but don't sew it, you can still tear off the pages easily enough if you use a thin coat. It can be quite runny and messy until it dries, though (at which point it is only sort-of easy to peel off, like Elmer's glue). But all the same, the strength of the glue after drying is what separates it from normal glue. It is fantastic. I swear by this glue.
