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.

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 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.

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

I don't have anymore

I am absolutely amazed! I was looking to repair my personal Bible of over 14 years. The binding was shot and pages were coming apart. The nearest book repair shop was over an hour away. Plus, I could not be without my Bible for the many days it would take to send/receive back from the repairer. Out of desperation, I gave this glue a shot to try to fix it myself.The glue looks like the old fashion Elmer's glue we used to use in elementary school, so I was skeptical. BUT, it bound my Bible together and held very well. The glue dried very sturdily and you would never know it was rebounded with this glue if not told.Additionally, I tried it on another paperback book since the glue worked so well on my Bible. I had another prayer book that had fallen TOTALLY apart. I used this glue, and it also is like new.I would DEFINITELY recommend this product and would by it again myself.

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.

I love this glue for three reasons.1 Slow drying time. While this is commonly a negative, for scrapbooking this is a huge plus. It gives you a lot of time to get things lined up precisely before the glue sets.2 Not at all tacky once dry. It doesn’t reactivate in moisture so humid air won’t make the pages sticky as is the case with some bookbinding and collaging adhesives.3 Strong adhesive. I’ve glued little metal gears to pages. Despite the weight, they stay on.
