Nice production! A few tips: scoring with the grain of the paper endsheets gives a cleaner crease, slide your binder clips lower on the book block and fan the sheets to one side, brushing the glue on the fan , then fan it the opposite way and repeat. This gets glue between the sheets as well as on their ends= stronger binding. My Porsche was a 1966 911S - wish I had it now. Nate

Great video. I will just make sone small suggestion: On the side you plan to glue, take an emery board (the kind you use on your nails, and roughen it up a bit. It helps the glue to really bind to the sheets of paper.

I am a design student and a tip that helped me a lot when cutting surfaces with the cutter is to first make a mark with the side opposite the edge, this will create a channel where the sharp blade will not get out of its way.

Very good. The only thing I would add would be that PVA does not stick to plastic, so, when glueing the cover, protect the inside of the book with a layer of cling wrap.

Thank you! Awesome tutorial, I have been looking for a video like this one.

Fantastic tutorial! I definitely want to try this at some point!

Thank you. Great idea to publish my daughter's first book at home.

life saver video... i tried to find some print on demand shop in norway but didnt find anyone doing it for comicbooks so i figuered i would have to do the prototype myself, first i found saddle stitch and thought the normal comicbook neck was only possible with some machine so i was pretty bumbed out for a while... then i found this, going to try this when i have my pages printed and ready to go!

thank you for the video. I think you did a great job. the book looks perfect. Thanks for the information.

if you make 2mm to 5mm (or any other size you need) cuts you have more glued surface and a more resistant binding between paper sheets. And if let it dry, glue again and add Waxed Threads (you can use any, but the wax make it easier to manipulate inside drying glue) partially inside these cuts you can reduce the movement stress of the dry glue when you open and close the book.

This comment seems quite helpful - is there any chance you can explain it in more detail? Do you mean if the paper is thicker, you need to score it deeper? And do you mean that you need to sew the paper stack together with thread if it's thicker?

@@lydiac9118 this is only a improvement to the technique used in the video. The deepness is personal preference i use 5mm but i only need 2mm. And the threads aren't sewed, they are only glued, and only used for stress reduction (to prevent deformation of the binding between sheets).

Is PVA so flexible that you can bend it without the spine breaking after a week of use? That's the only thing I'm worried about here. Very good tutorial!

@tr33m00nk

Жыл бұрын

Yes, good quality PVA will remain flexible for years. Three or four coats applied the way 'porsche and coffee' did should be strong enough so that "mild rough handling" of the book won't separate pages at the spine. If you think the book will get thrown into your bags or onto the seat of a car, etc. (i.e: rough handled) or that it will be larger than that shown here (9x12inches or larger) , then you can strengthen the spine structure by gluing a layer of light weight cloth to the spine after the pages have been glued (cotton, linen, even a double layer of cheese cloth will do). This "spine liner" can be a half inch shorter than the spine and it should rap tightly around onto the front and back outside pages about 1 inch. Then the covers can be measured, folded and glued on as 'porsche and coffee' did. Some demos elsewhere suggest using "Duck tape" ( or Duct tape) to "line" or reinforce the spine. I do NOT recommend. Duck tape adhesive 'creeps' until it dries and becomes a powdery residue. Also, PVA will not bond well to the shiny face. Some free advice from a Professional Bookbinder. { ;-- ) This 'porsche and coffee' demo is pretty good, by the way.

@mikefischbein3230

Жыл бұрын

@@Saphia_ In my (limited) experience, your idea of adding a layer of porous cloth produces a much higher quality binding than glue alone. I've used 'book binding cloth' made by Irenare, which looks like cheese cloth but is thinner and more flexible. I cut a strip about an inch wider than the book's thickness, center it on the binding side and then I spread glue on it with a soft foam brush. The cloth mesh allows the glue to contact the page edges and the cloth itself all at once. I've only tried pva glue and had good results, comparable to a typical store bought paperback book (which of course doesn't open so effortlessly to the full 180 degree angle like in this video, but maybe the thicker paper used here makes a difference).

depending on the glue you're using, you can "unruin" your brush by just soaking it in water. the glue you're using seems to be white liquid glue. glues like that are water-based and will wash right off if it hasn't hardened yet. if it has hardened, like i said earlier, you can soak it in water to liquify it. EDIT: so i ruined one of my foam brushes. i can't unruin it with just water. it's definitely unsavable at this point. This was a first for me, the glue stuck on it was like slime when submerged underwater. it was so stuck in the foam parts, it won't get off. so maybe one more tip: don't use foam brushes for spreading glue.

if you wanna keep using your brushes, start using a silicone brush... like the ones used in baking or grilling. The glue just peels off after dry

Thank so much, the best tutorial ever💖

Myself and a friend have decided to build a sketchbook together and trade back and forth every month to fill it. It's about 60 pages of mixed media A4 sheets - ranging from felt, to paper, to card, to cardboard to flexible vinyl, to ironed perler beads. Initially I wanted to use the Japanese book binding method because I can't make signatures from the pages, they're already cut to size. I was thinking of just drilling through the mammoth stack and sewing it together, but tougher materials in the stack wouldn't be able to bend. I'm going to try this method, and add extra glue layers and cloth to the spine and hope and pray it decides to stay together 🙏
