Swapped my wheat paste for methyl cellulose on art books and the difference was night and day
The methyl cellulose gave me way more open time to adjust the cloth placement without the edges crusting up, plus it didn't leave that tacky residue on my fingertips - has anyone else tried it for spine linings or is it just me?

Totally agree, methyl cellulose was a game changer for me too. It’s way easier to work with and my fingers don’t end up all sticky.

Honestly, my experience was the total opposite. Methyl cellulose gave me this weird film on my hands that felt even worse than glue. With regular paste, I just wash off with warm water and it's fine. Maybe it's the brand I tried, but I ended up tossing the bottle halfway through. Your results might be totally different though.
