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!!

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.

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.

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.

This glue is fabulous! I use it for quilling and it's excellent. Thin liquid consistency, dries clear and flexible. A little goes a long way while quilling, so it's well worth the buy. Definitely recommend.

Great product, worked perfectly w one use.

It’s book glue…works as advertised lol
