Book saver.
Excellant product. My bible was coming apart at the spine so I purchased this, followed the instructions and have had no problems since.

Great stuff!
My Bible had a section starting to pull away from the binding and a friend recommended this to repair it. I ordered it but didn’t use it bc my Bible was readable. Well, that section finally fell out. I used it on the binding and stuck the section back in…it was a little messy bc I put a lot but wiped it off the pages as good as I could. I let it sit open for a couple of days and that section is in there solid and not coming out any time soon! It worked really great!!!!

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.

Wow!
Ok, this glue worked amazingly! It dried quickly, it dried thinly, there were no think clumps. My Bible was falling apart and this helped me glue it back together. It’s flexible and still soft and super durable and secure. And it seems that this glue can be used in various ways. Pro tip: Don't cut the tip down too far or you won’t be able to put the red cap back on. Lol.

Children’s Books are Rebound
My toddlers can be rough on books! I was collecting a stack of some of their favorites that had broken bindings, pages torn out or flaps that had been torn off. The stack was getting to large that I needed to do something about it! I bought this glue and set to work! This stuff really holds well! It’s easy to apply directly where you need it, it dries fast, it’s flexible and is really strong! I even was able to fix some of the library books that we checked out with broken bindings! Definitely recommend as a must needed tool for all moms of destructive toddlers!
