Elmer's E431 Craft Bond Fabric and Paper Glue, 4 oz, Clear

As advertised…. Good product

At our small church we had quite a few hymn books whose backs were either loose or off and the inner pages were either loose or coming apart and I thought they looked really bad. And, just as it is with many small churches, the cost to rebind or fix them was more than we could afford at the time. But still I saw a need to do what I thought, without me knowing any better, was just a small act that wouldn't take me much effort, expense, or time to complete, and so I volunteered to do it.I researched rebinding books and obtained the items I'd need. This glue is what I used to reglue pages back into books before I could rebind the whole book again. And, when I was finished, I realized I had repaired 100 hymn books. Some time has now passed, but even with regular use, the books are still all holding up great. And, it is for this reason I think this craft glue is just wonderful and give it a 5.

Try using it on fabric but FAIL to glue the fabric..... Very bad service!!!! Will Amazon be professional enough to replace the 2 piece without any others cost??? Waiting for your reply ASAP!!!

Once applied don’t move it or you’d mess up your project. It takes some time to dry.

not water cleanup, IMO. It is flexible for book backs, etc. My friend's daughter is a 'book tasmanian devil', so this glue is awesome. After gluing the original spine/back on, then I wrap sturdy fabric around the spine and overlap at front and back by 2-3". I usually spread glue on fabric or book with my fingers. Then I use 6" fabric strips to reattach the inner front to cover page and inner back to the last page. This should not make the fabric soppy bcuz it is thick latex-like glue, but I put wax paper in there to keep it from sticking when i close the book. At this point everything is still movable, so i massage it to be where i want it and leave the book to dry. The glue rolls off my fingers.
