Review: 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.
Review: 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!!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be suitable for gluing torn edges of a very thin bible page. I don't want to see the glue after it dries.**
A: Hi, this will dry clear. I would apply a very thin line, and use wax paper between the treated pages and untreated so it would not stick together. Then place a rubber band around book and place a heavy book on top and let dry for 24hours. My daughter did this with a fragile old book that was over 100yrs old, and repair was flawless! Good luck!

**Q: Is this glue non toxic? It was recomended for use in a diy charcoal mask.**
A: It is rather nontoxic. I use it in small amounts to glue my books and I never use mask.

**Q: does it dry matte?**
A: No, no matte, it's actually glossy transparent.

**Q: Can I use this glue to glue play sand on painting canvas or cardboard?**
A: I use this product to repair old books but I don't see why you couldn't use it for that purpose. It is a very strong and long lasting adhesive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book saver.
*by E***. on September 12, 2025*

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!
*by T***W on December 7, 2023*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used for inserting book ribbons into spines.
*by S***G on September 19, 2024*

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.
