Best glue ever for paper, fabric, etc
This is the best glue I've ever tried for paper, fabric, cardboard.... no wrinkling, no buckling, no dripping. I will be buying this again (and telling all my crafting/artist friends!).

Used for inserting book ribbons into spines.
I used affordable colored ribbon strips, glued to paper squares. When that dried, I applied more glue, inserting the paper tabs into book spines. This allows me to add page marker ribbons to most books -- books which never had marker ribbons before. Many of the books I added marker ribbons to, are OOP, and collectible. These ribbons will actually increase the value of my books, making them uniquely better, more user-friendly.

Good glue but hard to get opening just right
This glue works well for all sorts of craft projects, but you have to cut the opening to use it, and let's just say getting the hole size just right has been a challenge. Too small and you you need a plumbing wretch to get the glue out. Too big and you have glue pouring everywhere. But it dries clear and sets pretty quickly. I have found it doesn't work quite as well on smooth surfaces such as jingle bells.

Works incredibly well
I have loved this. I have used it on the spine of several books and those books are holding up so well.

I'll be sticking with it
Far better than any other glue I’ve used. I had to use this for a semester to do paper projects including cardstock and foam board. For me the biggest problem with glues that are water soluable are they are weak and take a too long to dry. This product eliminates both those issues. The projects I did I was able to finish in half the time with the use of this and I am happy to know they will last forever with this powerful adhesive. The downside to every water soluable adhesive is that thinner pieces it will warp. I tried using it for gluing construction paper and magazines, they warped as expected. For projects like those, rubber cement will always be the best option. The product holds up strong, dries quickly as well as drying quite clear as advertised; helpful being I used every colour paper other than white. The only thing I don’t like is the price, only 4 ounces for 9 bucks. I’ll get the bigger bottle next time; but I guess you get what you pay for and in this case, high quality glue.

Excellent for book repair
Used this to repair a torn page in a book, and it excelled at that. Planning on repairing other damaged books using this product, and I know it'll do great. Highly, highly recommend.

Great glue at a good price
I needed this to fix the binding of a journal. I looked through different types of glues for hours trying to figure out what to buy, when I came across this glue I decided to give it a go based on the other reviews, and I'm glad I did. This glue worked perfectly and was easy to brush on. It's held up perfectly and caused no discoloration at all. It's a little thinner than I would have liked but it doesn't change anything except for application. All around this is a great glue and I would buy it again. - - | U P D A T E | Oct 09, 2015| - - I've used this glue on a number of other projects outside of the original purchase reason, and it's worked beautifully on all of them. It holds up well, the binding for the journal I had to use it for in the beginning is still in good condition and it's held up well in all my other projects as well. Fantastic.

As good as new
I have a few hardcover books that I use as reference for my work.Very important and costly books.These are torn to half and very difficult to use in such condition.This product PH Neutral PVA did the trick.Now its completely stiff books and been over a month, still holding strong.Now its very difficult to even find where the books were torn.Just a slight rise, thats all.If any one need to repair their hardbound books this is the one.Certainly expensive but not if your books way expensive and important.Search youtube how to repair hardcover books and there are a few good videos.
