Ideal for professional DIY projects, it allows tinting with acrylic paint for personalized colors and offers a cost-effective alternative to commercial notepad binding.

## Description

Convenient 2 oz. bottle is a great size for small arts and crafts projects! Brush a heavy coating of padding compound to the edge of your stack of paper to create your own notepads. Water Based, Quick Drying. Do not allow to freeze. Glue only, paper not included

Review: 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.
Review: For, literally, years I have been looking to make my own scratch pads. I like to design and print them myself with the fields and lines on them that I want. The issue was always the binding. I tried stapling. Fail. I tried spiral binding. Fail. I tried stitching. Fail. I then tried various glues I had around the house using YT vids as instruction. Fail. You really need to get a glue like this that is made for this purpose. It dries quickly. It holds my pads 20# 50 sheets 8.5 no problem. EZ to apply and you barely use any glue. And then.......the sheets tear off so smooth!!!!! I'm VERY happy with this glue.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this padding glue manufactured/made?**
A: Mmm can not find the answer- odd works well but can not answer where the glue is produced.

**Q: Is this Acid free?**
A: I contacted CFS, and they contacted HAR, who manufactures the pad compound.  This was their response:

Our padding compound is not acid free.  The base polymer used for padding compound is naturally low in pH but is not considered a dangerous chemical as defined by 29 CFR 1910.1200.  This product is no more dangerous than any white glue you would buy at your local store.

**Q: Is there a recommended brush to use with this compound?**
A: I use a foam brush but not sure. This product is great

**Q: Is the binding strip insoluble after it dries?**
A: I had to look up the word insoluble to make sure I understood the question. Assuming you are using the padding compound on paper, I'm not sure why you need an insoluble padding compound. I think it's a very good compound for padding papers such as scratch pads. One coat is enough but I used two just to be sure. Before I found this padding compound I was using a hobby compound called MOD-POGE . Okay but too thick. I don't think CFS is insoluble.
