Jelly glue (animal glue) for hardcover cases, photobook covers and rigid gift boxes

Hot animal glue for hardcover cases, photobook and album covers, and rigid gift boxes. The glue has a gelatin base and comes as amber jelly blocks. Melt it in a glue pot or in the glue tank of your machine at about 60–65 °C. If the glue is too thick, add a little hot water. Slow grades give you time for manual work. Fast grades set in about 5–60 seconds on automatic case makers and rigid-box machines. The glue bonds paper, board and cloth. Clean the pot and rollers with hot water. Test laminated or varnished paper first. We can ask the factory for free trial samples. Price on request.
