LINECO Neutral pH Adhesive 8 Oz, Acid-Free, All-purpose Glue, Dries Clear and Remains Flexible. Used for Bookbinding and Book Repair, Framing, Collages, Paper Art and Crafts

This is a great glue for binding books. It sets in about 10 minutes and cures in a couple of hours!This is my Grandfather's Bible. It is 65 years old, and the leather is cracked, dried, and separated from the binding. I first rebound the leather where it separated from the inner covers, then glued the backing back into place. Finally, I had to cut some 1/8th-inch ruddy red fabric to fill in for the missing leather that cracked and fell out due to its use over the years.I will add that the Bible was a little stiff (after completing all three sides), but it is flexible enough to open the texts and read them once again without any loose pages!I give this adhesive an A+ for use and durability!

I am using this PVA glue to make tabletop scatter terrain for Dungeons & Dragons. I glue paper, wood craft sticks, balsa, insulation foam, foam board, and lightly sanded plastic pieces. This glue worked great on all of it. I had wanted a cheaper alternative to the tiny tubes of Lawn Fawn paper crafting PVA glue I was previously using because you don't get much glue for the price. I tried using matte Mod Podge but that wasn't strong enough to instantly grab and hold the parts together. This stuff worked just as well as the Lawn Fawn glue but you get 20 times as much glue. This glue is perfect for the precision needle tip glue bottles from Amazon. One difference from Lawn Fawn is that this glue is more shiny when it dries in a thick blob, but it is just as clear - no yellowing, and invisible on paper if you wipe up blobs (otherwise it leaves a shine). I also like that it is slightly flexible, not brittle. It seems to stick to almost anything and dries really fast. You have enough time to fiddle with repositioning, but sometimes it is hard to get the excess glue blobs wiped up before its too dry to swipe off. Once set, it is strong enough to add a lot of durability and rigidity to cardboard, foam, and cloth parts. I hope the price stays reasonable so I can get more when it's used up.

Actually better than I expected. Dries clear and very hard. It dries fast after being applied so “finger” clamps work great. Also water based so it can be undone if necessary.

Really good glue. I’ve admittedly used it on more than books and I find it very versatile. But especially good for fixing books.

Ordered this glue to repair some vintage hardcover books. Many had outside spines that had started to separate from the book due to dryness...and age. I didn't want to go crazy doing "professional" repairs, as the books are really only valuable to me, but wanted to prolong their life and readability. This product did exactly what I wanted it to do. Applied to spines, rubber banded in place overnight and all was good. Easy water cleanup and dries clear. My only complaint and reason for 4, not 5 stars, is the application bottle. Worked great the first time but it keeps getting clogged after use, even with cleaning after use. I have to run hot water and a paper clip through the hole to open it up each time. It's just as easy to open cap and dip a brush in or pour small amount into a small container, if you can work that way. Don't know what the solution would be. Still overall a good product that I will continue to use and would order again.

This glue is perfect for mending books, Bibles, and for gluing craft projects. It doesn’t take much and goes a long way.

Excellent product

I used to repair an old first edition book from 1900 that I have. It worked very well just allow time to dry properly before handling. Wish they made in smaller quantities.
