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

I really like this glue for bookbinding and card making as it is easy to use, incredibly strong, and dries fast. If it gets somewhere it shouldn’t be, you can clean it up with a damp cloth really quick. If it has just barely dried you can clean it up with all-purpose cleaner or rubbing alcohol depending on the surface. Once it’s dry-dry though, like more than 20 minutes, that glue is not coming off porous surfaces or fabrics. This is great news for bookbinding though because you only need a little bit to create a strong bond for gluing spines, attaching book clothes, and securing endpapers without sewing. It dries down to a clear, glossy finish. It can be cut with water for a thinner application but water doesn’t really slow the dry time.

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.

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 haven't used this adhesive for too many projects yet, but have only had great results. It is a great and quick-setting PVA adhesive, and has worked brilliantly for creating DIY watercolor block pads. Previously I had tried other adhesives and acrylic matte medium for this type of project. This dries much faster than basically everything else, so I had to work fast, but the results were really nice. I was actually able to fully use this within an hour, and no incidental water from the washes caused issues. It remained dry and not tacky, and has some amount of flexibility. It went on much thinner and more controlled than the other options when applied with a basic synthetic brush. I didn't notice any large globs or irregularities. It washed out of the brush without issue as long as I did it ASAP or soaked the brush in water until I could fully wash it out. I have also used it to adhere decorative paper to chipboard for bookcovers and of course it worked brilliantly for that, too. Just so noticeably worked awesome for these block pads from my scrap paper that I felt compelled to share. No more taping edges!

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 Adhesive works perfectly for repairing book bindings. (I've tried the tape stuff terrible for me). Infact it worked so well I've had numerous requests to repair friends books.

Really impressed with this adhesive. It dries clear, has a nice smooth consistency, and stays flexible after it sets. Perfect for fixing books or doing detailed paper projects. Good quality and easy to work with.

Excellent. Drys Quickly

I purchased this adhesive specifically for bookbinding, duplexing heavy stock, and creating mockups in preparation for producing 40 bound art books. As an acid-free, archival-quality glue, it’s ideal for projects where longevity and preservation are important. In my initial tests, it spread smoothly, dried clear, and formed a strong, flexible bond without causing any warping. Several months on, after regular use, the results have held up perfectly — the joins remain secure, and there’s been no yellowing or deterioration. It did take a little longer to arrive as it’s not available on Prime, but the quality more than makes up for the wait. This adhesive works beautifully with paper, card, and book cloth, making it a reliable choice for professional bookbinding, paper crafts, and conservation projects. If you need a high-quality, acid-free adhesive that will stand the test of time, this one is excellent.

Va perfecto para pegar lomos de cómics o libros despegados.

Ci è voluto tempo per arrivare, ma fortunatamente l'imballaggio era impeccabile! Non vedo l'ora di usarlo per i miei futuri lavori con la legatoria!

I'm doing a bookbinding project and it's really good glue for this it holds everything ready well. I'm binding with fake leather and it holds that decently on flat surfaces but I did need other glue for corners and edges. This is amazing with paper and cardboard tho.

Excellant glue for crafts. I used to used acrylic medium for my collages. This glue so much better. Does everything I need, dries clear, no stretched papers, glues non paper items to substrate and easier hand cleanup - no peeling glue off fingers.
