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.

I bought this adhesive to bind a family history book. It is excellent to work with ! I applied it with a small brush and the soap and water clean up was easy ! Looks great and is very durable . I would recommend this product for this application and many others...

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.

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.

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!

this is my go-to my glue for any book or paper project I do, the pages don't wrinkle like with other glues I love that.

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.

Easy to use
