With the capacity to bind 80-110 sheets, these durable, customizable strips require a thermal binding machine to fuse pages securely, delivering a long-lasting, clean finish ideal for office, school, or personal projects. ## Description You can repair books or make your own thermal covers using these thermal glue strips. These strips are cut to 1/2" wide and 10 1/2" long. They can be cut or combined to make the desired length or width. A thermal binding machine or similar heat source is required to use these strips. They can't be used by themselves without a backing or spine to glue pages into a u-shaped cover. They can be used in the same way to repair or replace pages in an existing book. If you want something to enable you to put together your own front and back cover and contents see our Unbind Steelbacks instead.____NOTE: Leave 1/4 " of the length of the book spine free of glue to avoid having it run onto your machine. Review: Game-changer / Life-saver - I work in an elementary school library, so needless to say, I have a LOT of books that need repair on a daily basis. I was basically doing what this machine does (reattaching the spine with glue), by myself with with a hot glue gun. But that is so very time consuming and I knew that my fix was only temporary. Hot glue starts to cool before you're done gluing, and it's only a matter of time before a new layer of paper peels off with the hot glue still attached. This machine combined with these glue strips fuses everything together and I feel like this fix is actually going to last! Plus, I can get an assembly line going while a book is in the machine and get another one ready, finish up another one, etc. Huge time saver. My only complaint is that the little adhesive strip on the glue strip is completely useless, I've never had one feel sticky at all and it takes forever to peel off the little foil tab. Makes my job harder, not easier. Overall, love this system!!! Review: Works great, you can make thicker booklets - I make notebooks using hot glue sticks (glue gun, then iron it down with a clothes iron). These strips work better. The glue in these strips is less viscous than the glue sticks so it flows better. I bought the 1/2" strips and wondered if I'd be able to use them for thinner booklets and thicker booklets. Yes. Thicker: Just butt them together. I did one manuscript with three strips. Thinner: more of an issue, just iron flat the wings. The glue spreads over the edges, so to make the 'wings' bend, I run the iron over the sides. The ends I just clip off. The strips are 10.5". (paper is 11.5 or A4 11.7") so I just lay a short strip sideways at the end. (I've found that if a sheet comes loose, it starts at the ends, so glue to the ends helps.) ## Features - 1/2" wide, with mesh backing - easy book repair - make your own thermal covers - THESE ARE GLUE STRIPS ONLY!

It has worked really well. The glue seems to hold just as good as the more expensive options. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/27112911-thermobind-50pcs-1-2-12mm-glue-strips-with-mesh-backing](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/27112911-thermobind-50pcs-1-2-12mm-glue-strips-with-mesh-backing) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
