Bookbinding (sticking cloth to card)

Morning All,

Does anyone have any experience sticking cloth to card, its for a little bookbinding thing were having a stab at.

I think the general wisdom is to use a bath of glue, and a machine that you feed the cloth into and it applies an even coating of glue to the cloth.

Now we are only dipping a toe in at this moment and don't want to fork out thousands on lots of kit, so i'm gonna try the old fashioned method of a big tub 'o' glue and a hand roller to apply the glue to the cloth.

So far I've found out we need to use PVA glue, but if anyone has a better idea i'd love to hear it, is there a specific type of glue we need?

All the best
