Review: Perfect for DIY notepads - 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!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work well for fallen pages of books？**
A: It worked great on the spine of the book where the pages had pulled away from it.  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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well for at home bookbinding
*by M***E on November 12, 2025*

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.
