COMMENT: In hand binding, organic glues and pastes are used; these are flour paste or gelatine glue made from animal bones. In commercial binding, synthetic adhesives of the PVA type are used. These are often thermoplastic and set when cold; they remain flexible when set, while organic glues tend to set hard, and so may crack. |
