Pinflair Bookbinding Glue, 120g tub

Great bookbinding blue but a little on the expensive side. Quick drying though. Very Good.

Rebinding and making new hardcovers for old paperbacks i used this. You can use PVA or woodglue for the same purpose and thats probably cheaper, but this specific bookbinding glue did exactly what it was designed to do. I did the spine, the signature pages, the hessian bookcovers, the endpapers, the lot with this and didn't need any other adhesive. It did everything admirably. It dries quick and tacky which is precisely perfect for working with bookbinding. Saves a lot of time drying so you can move on to the next step without any long waiting times. Allows for repositioning OK if you are quick. Just perfect for every step of the process and even drying, no drips. Lovely.

I've bought this glue for crafting for several years now. I put some onto a piece of foil to use because the tub seems to go off more quickly if I use a spatula with drying glue on it. This makes it a messy process. I've since found a bottle of the same stuff and it's just as good but easier to use.

I used this glue many times. If your gluing fabric it’s perfect as it doesn’t ‘wet’ the fabric.

Best glue for book binding I’ve used. I add a little bit of water when I first open it and it works a treat.

I needed to patch an old stretched canvas I was in the middle of re-painting. It was an unfinished acrylic painting that I no longer had inspiration to complete and I wanted to reuse the canvas for an oil painting. I had unfortunately put a 1cm hole in the canvas while removing an area of relief of old, solid, dried acrylic paint. In the past I’d used other methods to repair a hole in a canvas, but I received the idea to use a glue of this type to apply a patch from the rear. I was not sure how well it would work. I was very pleased and impressed with how well it worked: the patch at the rear has adhered very well.

Top quality product

The glue works very well indeed to stick pages back into books where the spine binding has failed. I use a stiff-bristled small painting brush to apply it, and this works well. However - the plastic pot, and especially the clip-on lid is as cheap as chips. The lid is not very easy to get off, and surely cannot be air tight. It's even more difficult to replace and ensure it is properly clipped back in place. It's a real disappointment that will shorten the shelf-life and end up in land-fill. I'm thinking of getting a small screw-topped bottle to transfer the glue into.
