Padding Compound, also known as Pad Glue, is used for making pads of paper. Stacks of paper are placed in a padding machine and are then clamped into place. While in the padding machine, Padding Compound is applied to the back edge of the paper stack using of a padding brush. Once the bind is dry, the stack of paper is removed and can be cut down to size. Padding presses are user friendly and widely used by schools, churches, real estate offices, and binderies.
