  • Clear, Flexible, and Archival-Safe – A Must-Have for Bookbinding
Size: 4 Ounce
This Books By Hand PH Neutral PVA glue is perfect for bookbinding, journal making, and delicate paper crafts. It applies smoothly, dries clear, and stays flexible, making it ideal for spines and covers that need to bend without cracking. The fact that it's acid-free and archival-safe gives me confidence that my projects will hold up over time. Whether I’m repairing an old book or crafting something new, it’s reliable and easy to work with—no mess, no clumps, just solid performance. The 4 oz size is generous for the price and goes a long way, especially considering how little you need per project. For the quality, it’s a fantastic value for money. If you're looking for a dependable adhesive for any kind of paper or book-related project, this one checks all the boxes. ... show more

  • Perfect for DIY notepads
Size: 4 Ounce
I wanted to try making my own notepads. I bought these because someone on TikTok used them to make notepads. Works amazing, notepads came out great, easy to rip the top sheet from the rest of the pad. I stacked 40-50 sheets and held them together with some binder clips. I used a brush to coat the top edge with the glue and did 3 thin coats, drying in between each coat. Dries clear. Would get again if I run out!! ... show more

  • Good book glue
Size: 4 Ounce
The glue is white colored, and doesn't smell of anything, seems to looks like Elmer's glue but less viscous. I applied the glue with a binding cloth for reinforcement of a damaged book; it works well and is slightly pliable when opening the book. I wiped excess glue with a tissue and a small amount of alcohol, and it binds well. ... show more

  • Works well for at home bookbinding
Size: 4 Ounce
This works great. I had a cookbook that had fallen apart on me with some of my favorite recipes. It seemed a shame to let it go, so I got this and a bookbinding kit with a press, paintbrush, string, etc. This was recommended as the best kind of glue to use and it certainly was. It adheres nicely, it's thick enough to work itself into the paper layers, and it holds well. The key is something that's not brittle, and this is definitely not brittle. All in all I'm pleased with the results. ... show more

  • Good to repair old books
Size: 4 Ounce
I am pleased with the result mending a few older books with detached binding and loose pages. Instructions say "shake well" but that's not really possible cuz it's thick like school glue. I did not cut the lid tip but instead unscrewed the top and poured some out, using a narrow pointed tip to apply. I think this might help prevent any future drying out in the bottle. Dries clear and flexible but a little sticky even after drying so be careful not to leave glue on page text. Overnight drying is best. ... show more
