In this post, we want to focus on one of our most recommended perfect binding spine glues: BT1113. [Perfect binding](https://blog.lddavis.com/perfect-binding) is a method of book binding often used to make soft cover books. This binding method puts all book pages together, roughens and flattens the edge, then a flexible glue bonds the book cover to the spine. BT1113 is a great, flexible glue solution for soft cover book spines.  BT1113 is a premium, water white, medium speed bookbinding hot melt glue. It provides excellent adhesion to high basis weight heavily coated covers and difficult signatures. It can be trimmed in-line without build up on the trimmer knives. This hot melt glue can be run on medium and high-speed binders such as a Horizon Binder, Mueller Martini and Sheridan.  ##### BT1113: Glue Properties | Application Temperature | 325-375° F | | --- | --- | | Softening Point | 210° F | | Appearance | Pellets | | Color | Water White | | Open Time | Medium | | Viscosity | 6,000 cps at 350° F |   If you had additional questions about this glue formula, feel free to [reach out to our technical team](https://info.lddavis.com/your-project-details) with your project details.  --- Want to learn more about book binding glues?
