The padding compound itself works great. What is more important is the process by which you pad your paper. A few tips: 1. Clamp the paper between two pieces of straight hardwood or MDF fiberboard. Plywood has a tendency to have small voids where the grain is. 2. Use scrap paper as a buffer on the top and bottom of the stack. When applied, the compound invariably gets on the surface of the top and bottom pages. 3. Use chipboard or something else that is somewhat rigid for the back if the paper is larger than a quarter sheet. 4. 1st coat should be light, 2nd coat can be thick. 5. You can make huge stacks (>200 pages) but be careful not to let the stack go unsupported by holding half the pages at a time. 6. If you are making many small pads at once, try applying compound to opposite edges of a stack of 8.5 x 11 paper then cut it however you want to. Band saws work great if you are skilled and don't have a fancy paper cutter. If not, take a bunch to Kinko's, then they can make them exactly the right size. Be careful, sometimes they won't cut paper with compound on them. Have fun.

Wonderful product. It allows me to recycle used paper as scratch pads. I knew someone else who used it in a church, otherwise I wouldn't have known of it's existence. It saves trees!

Very easy, water clean up Easy to use...... Fun for the kids to make their own pads of paper

This is my first experience with this product, and I find that it works exceptionally well. The consistency is such that I get good coverage without runs and drips. I use two fairly light coats for best results. The two coats produce sturdy pads which still separate easily. I have compared Sparco 15025 to products costing twice as much, and have found the Sparco to be an excellent combination of quality and value. Cleanup with soap and water is quick and easy.

This is a huge jar- you only need to use a small amount for each pad of paper you create, but when I was looking around, this was the smallest size I could find. It is very simple to use- I used a small paintbrush to brush the compound onto my stack of paper that I had clamped together with clips. I let it dry overnight and voila! A custom made pad of paper the next day. The compound washed out of the paintbrush easily with warm water. I would recommend this product.

I use this to make paper pads out of recycled paper that would otherwise be thown out. It is easy to use and a breeze to clean up with water!

This product turned out great for what I needed. I work in a church office and was needing to pad our member sign in sheets. Instead of paying some company to do each pad for 50cents or more, I can now print and pad our own sheets with minimal effort. It is very easy to use and great cleanup with just water. Like any liquid it can get messy but again, easy cleanup so not a problem. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to make pads for office or home use. Would be easy for kids to use too. ordering was easy and shipping was quick. I would order from again.

The company I ordered it from was fast. The product does just what it says it does. Two coats let dry and your done, very little smell and fast drying time. Works great will use again and recommend to all.

I haven't used the product yet, but amazon keeps emailing me about reviewing it. It looks fine, a great shade of pink, and I don't see why it won't meet my needs. I wish it was available in smaller containers.
