Children's Book Binding Repair

RE: Children's Book Binding Repair Post By DEBRA J. (Guest Post) (12/23/2007) If its a hardback and the binding is exposed try something called "gorilla glue" find it at Menards, etc. Be very frugal with it . I had some hardbacks with the binding and pages completely off and a little of the gorilla glue and about 12 hours and you could not even tell it was separated. But be warned, a little goes a long way! It is also good for gluing glass, ceramic plastic or just about anything.

RE: Children's Book Binding Repair Post by calnorth (79) | (01/20/2005) Contact If you just want to keep the books together and aren't worried about preserving their "collectability" (that is, their value on the collector's market), clear packing tape works wonders. A roll is pretty cheap and will mend a lot of books. Plus, you can cut it to whatever size you need. A lot of my kids' books are used, some not so gently, and I've used clear packing tape for all repairs, soft cover, hard cover, big books, small books. It's also good if you have pages that are ripped. It holds better than Scotch-type tape. Camilla
