Elmer’s Glue As Padding Adhesive?
At first I thought it was an odd question, but the more I think about it I can completely understand the reasoning behind it. Can Elmer’s Glue be used as padding adhesive for use with a padding press?
It makes sense right? Elmer’ Glue has a very similar consistency to padding adhesive. In fact, the first thing I thought the first time I opened a bottle of white padding adhesive was, “Hey, is this Elmer’s Glue?” In its soft liquid form, padding adhesive does look like Elmer’s glue. That is until it dries.
This is where you’re going to have trouble. Elmer’s Glue dries extremely hard and won’t allow pages to tear out of a pad. Padding adhesive also dries, but still maintains some pliability, making pages easy to tear out of a notepad.
In conclusion, Elmer’s glue cannot be used as a padding adhesive. You can find our entire selection of padding adhesive here. Good luck and happy padding!
