How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of dust or loose fibres before application. Apply the adhesive evenly to the spine or surfaces to be joined using a brush, roller or spatula, depending on the task and accessibility. Allow short open time to position pages or covers accurately, then press and clamp or weight the assembly until the adhesive has set. For endpapers, apply a thin, even layer to avoid warping; for paper blocks, ensure full coverage on the spine for optimal consolidation.

Usage recommendations

Store the product in a cool, frost-free place and seal the container after use to preserve consistency. Test on sample materials before full application to confirm open time and drying behaviour. For prolonged storage after opening, follow manufacturer guidance on shelf life and avoid contamination of the adhesive with foreign materials.
