Lineco METYL CELLULOSE ADHSV 1.5 OZ

Product works very well for restoring soft paper tears, dog ears etc. First time using and I expected it to be more effective after one coat but it does require several coats for some badly damaged areas. That’s not a negative however because it dries fast and allows you to build up coats based on level of restoration required. There’s not much included for directions but a quick search using AI provides all the information needed. It does take about 24 hours to become clear after mixing so plan ahead.

Little bottle, big result. Mixed up the adhesive according to directions. It seems a bit thick which when applied on thin paper tears it. Perhaps it can be thinned without losing it's adhesive properties.

Works very well at removing old glue from book bindings. Small bottle but it goes a long way. You only add a small amount to water.

This works great extending your pva glue. Mixed as instructed it does not have the consistency you want. You need to cut back on the liquid.

Love this stuff. I mix it up at night, before I go to bed and it's ready the next day. If you've never worked with this, 1 1/5 oz. goes a long way! 1 tbs. makes 1/2 cup (4 oz.) of gel. Also, I mix this at a ratio of 50/50 with PVA and it makes a really strong, but faster drying adhesive. It (the Lineco Methyl Cellulose) gives you a little more working time with the PVA because PVA dries really fast. Came really fast. Really like dealing with Lineco very nice company!
