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.

Very useful

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

My youngest isn't always the gentlest with her books which results in torn pages, torn spines, and torn pop out sections. This PVA glues is awesome because it's easy to spread, does a good job soaking into the paper, dries flexible, and has great adhesion. The minor gripe I had is that the nozzle does typically end up with dried glue in it that has to be removed, but that's actually fairly easy so it's not a big deal. I'd highly recommend this stuff if you need flexible adhesive or adhesive specifically for binding books together.

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.

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 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.

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.
