Coccoina paper glue tin can 125g
Coccoina is a potato starch paste adhesive from Italy, manufactured by Balma, Capoduri & C. since 1927 according to an unchanged recipe. The paste has a characteristic bitter almond fragrance and comes in a practical aluminium tin with an integrated brush. The formulation and format have remained the same for nearly a century.
Features
- Potato starch base: The pasty consistency applies smoothly and thinly – ideal for paper and card without risking waviness or swelling.
- Acid-free and water-soluble: Suitable for archival work, scrapbooking and anywhere paper must not yellow or become brittle over time. Residue dissolves completely in water.
- Integrated brush: Set into the centre of the tin and always at hand – no separate tool needed, the adhesive applies directly and with precise control.
- Bitter almond fragrance: A distinctive sensory characteristic of this formula that generations of users have come to recognise.
- Aluminium tin, 125 g: Robust, reusable and tightly sealing – the paste dries out more slowly in the tin than in plastic containers.
- Formula unchanged since 1927: Made in Italy according to one of Europe's oldest still-active adhesive formulations.
Use & Tips
- Bonding paper and card: Apply thinly, let it dry slightly, then join – this creates less moisture in the paper and produces a precise bond.
- Collages and scrapbooking: The acid-free composition protects delicate prints, photographs and newspaper clippings from chemical ageing caused by the adhesive.
- Bookbinding work: For endpapers, folding work and simple binding tasks, the paste consistency is easy to control – no dripping, no running.
- Removing residue: Dried adhesive can be re-dissolved with a damp cloth or water – practical for collage work where corrections are needed.
- Tin care: Close the lid tightly after use; for longer storage, a damp cloth under the lid can help keep the paste surface supple.
