    This glue worked beautifully for my bookbinding project. It has a smooth consistency, dries clear, and holds strong without warping the paper or cover. I used it on a leather-bound edition and it bonded well with both paper and leather. The nozzle allowed for precise application, which was a huge plus. Highly recommend for crafters or anyone doing DIY book repairs.

    I got some other more generic pva before that still advertised itself similarly like good for bookbinding and neutral ph, the works. But turns out it was actually garbage but I only found that out weeks after making a bunch of books and while they seemed good after 24 hours, later they would crack apart easily.
    After doing some tests with this stuff I found out the hard way this is the real deal.
    The way i know this new glue just hits different is that with the old stuff I used to be able to just chuck my text block in the press after gluing the spine and leave it to dry while pressed and then after it'd just peel off easily no issue.
    This stuff freaking welded the block to my press and I needed like an exacto knife to remove it and had to scrape off the residue for a while after.
    After that I use a *second* set of sacrificial sheets between the block and the press...
    Plus I've just noticed it remaining stretchy and flexible after drying out where the other would crack more easily, maybe bend a bit but not stretch.

    Now, I'm just hoping that this stuff holds up longer term as well.

    I bought this to use with my RR when I need an arc acid free clue in this seems to do the trick. It’s great glue to use to do collage and to laminate photos on wood surfaces. It works and holds really well. It’s just the right consistency and thickness. Dries pretty fast. Great amount for the price. Would have liked it more if they would’ve put a more durable cover for the nozzle top.

    Great and strong acid-free PVA glue. It is a liquid paste that is semi-flexible (think if Elmer's glue but professional strength while being pH-neutral so that it resists yellowing). I have used this as part of the materials to hold together a rebound book with a split spine and adding a new cover. Holds up well on paper, cardboard, fabric, and leather when using the right amount. Glue can be watered down if too thick, but there is some mastering needed for this accepted technique. Pairs great with a paper folding/scoring tool, and cleans up with water before drying. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up over the years.

    Only downside is the nozzle clogs, but more importantly has stored well when not in use.

    I don't often find that an Amazon purchase has changed my life, but that is true of Lineco Books by Hand pH Neutral PVA Adhesive. I found it as I searched for an archival quality glue to use on the spines of several worthless but beloved school books, signed and mistreated by my relatives over a century ago. I was about to buy the smallest bottle I could, but I reconsidered when I saw the better bargain on the 16-ounce bottle. That was when it occurred to me that a woman who owns thousands of books, many found in second-hand stores, was going to find plenty of uses for this product. I was so right! Now, instead of ~ don't judge me! ~ taping favorite old paperbacks together, I run a line of PVA down errant pages, which then hold and flex as if they had never strayed. My children's books are renewed and ready to entertain another generation. I have also found this product useful as I conserve family history records and memorabilia , and create biographical notebooks. And one last positive: I am the clumsiest person I ever knew or heard of, but even I haven't managed to make a mess with this adhesive. During this 2020 pandemic, I've used Elmer's glue nearly every day to seal envelopes instead of licking them, and I always struggle to make the glue flow ~ and then to make it stop ~ and then to clean up the mess on my mail, desk, and hands. That hasn't happened with this Lineco adhesive, and when I do use a little too much, it cleans quickly and easily. I couldn't be more pleased.
