    • 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

    • Worth every penny.
Size: 8 Ounce
This is a fantastic glue that works wonders on paper and paper based products like cardboard! Dries strong and clear with minimal cleanup - if any, and reinforces the paper in question to be a little stronger. Excellent for tasks like bookbinding or gluing notes down into a book. My only issue is that if you bind a lot of books, or glue a lot of loose pieces of paper in general, you may need the bigger bottle from the beginning, as this glue is so good "just a few loose notes" becomes "I need more glue to rebuild my sketchbooks" Excellent product and I can't say enough good things about it! I'm happy to Rebuy more when I need it ... show more

    • Great product
Size: 8 Ounce
Best adhesive I’ve used for diy book making. I’m still really novice but this was easy to apply. All my projects have sealed and stayed glued. The product seems pretty durable and I didn’t notice much odor.

    • Takes a Long Time to Dry, Does Remain Flexible and is Clear.
Size: 4 Ounce
Basically the headline. It takes hours to dry, which I guess makes for a better work time. I haven't used it for book binding, but making yarn wefts, which it does very well at.

    • Fixed our binding issue on our Bible
Size: 4 Ounce
Bought this glue to fix our Bible because the binding was breaking down and this product effectively fixed that issue. This product has a nice consistency and nice and thick and easy to use and dried overnight and clear.

    • Work Quick
Size: 4 Ounce
Used to glue the spine back on my Bible. Works really fast so be ready to put your book or whatever you're using it for. The glue dried clear and has been holding on to my favorite book for 2 years now. Its the one I use the most so I want sure how well it would hold, it's holding great!
