HAR Notepad Precision Padding Compound 2oz Bottle

I purchased this binding glue to make my own watercolor blocks much more cheaply than the well known French paper blocks. This was my first time creating a block. While I didn't do a perfect job, the glue has worked quite well. With just a brush swipe across the edges, I saved over $25 dollars and ended up with a larger block of paper. The glue has held up against watercolor and acrylic paints with no separation. I did get some between the pieces of paper. The glue held, while part of the paper peeled off. So, the glue works better than my new skill. If you are going to try to make your own watercolor paper blocks, a small sponge brush might work better. I used a paint brush. I believe some of the individual hairs went between the pieces of paper and got the glue where I didn't want it causing the issue. I started with a small bottle about the size of a craft paint bottle, as I had no idea how much area the glue would cover. I made 2 9x12 blocks and will be able to make several more. Clean up was easy with just water.

This little bottle contains the most powerful paper glue I have ever used. I recently used it to repair two defective journals that were failing due to high paper tension, and it worked like a charm. It’s easy to use, mess-free, and incredibly effective. Don’t let the small size fool you—you only need a tiny amount for repairs, and it's perfect for making pads, too. Just three quick brushes with this glue and you're done! I’m so glad I found this.

Works exactly as advertised! Easy peasy!

I used this on some notepads and it worked great! It is not sticky when it dries.

Great for notebook binding, but I wouldn’t try it on any decorative item. I was making a cake topper and decided to use it. It dried clear and shiny. You could see all my mistakes. Don’t use to much for notebooks or it will get sticky. You only need a small amount.

Excellent compound for making paper pads. Just need something to weigh down your pad and all set!

I wasn't expecting this to work so well for the price, but it definitely surpassed my expectations! I'd been wanting to make custom notepads, and this adhesive did the job perfectly. A little goes a long way so it seems it'll last a long time too!

Works fine on gluing up paper pads.
