Review: Worth every penny. - This is a fantastic glue that works wonders on paper and paper based products like cardboard! Dries strong and clear with minimal cleanup - if any, and reinforces the paper in question to be a little stronger. Excellent for tasks like bookbinding or gluing notes down into a book. My only issue is that if you bind a lot of books, or glue a lot of loose pieces of paper in general, you may need the bigger bottle from the beginning, as this glue is so good "just a few loose notes" becomes "I need more glue to rebuild my sketchbooks" Excellent product and I can't say enough good things about it! I'm happy to Rebuy more when I need it ## Features - Books by Hand acid-free adhesive has excellent lay-flat properties and dries clear - Archival Quality that will provide long lasting materials for centuries to come - Easy to use professional quality adhesive is water soluble when wet so it can be thinned with water to extend drying time if desired - Ideal for bookbinding and paper projects - AVOID FREEZING & DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

It seems to be solid & sturdy. I was well pleased. **Q: Is this a good glue for adhering cardboard to cardboard?** A: I don't think it's as effective as regular paper glue . But it I'd glue nonetheless **Q: Should there be a cap for the bottle? My 8 oz bottle arrived with out any sort of cap to protect the opening of the nozzle.** A: The bottle i purchased from PH Neutral PVA came with a small white cap to cover the nozzle. It should be protected from drying out. Perhaps put plastic over the nozzle and secure with rubber band. **Q: Is this vegan?** A: I presume since it is not for internal consumption, the label on the bottle does not provide the ingredients. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear, Flexible, and Archival-Safe – A Must-Have for Bookbinding *by D***C on June 3, 2025* This Books By Hand PH Neutral PVA glue is perfect for bookbinding, journal making, and delicate paper crafts.
