    Thank you! This was so helpful! I have a BRAND NEW hardcover journal and I guess that the glue was defective because it came apart just like this one the first time I opened it and a big chunk of dried glue also fell out 😩. I’m hoping this works fingers crossed

    I have a record case that holds several records by the same composer that is cut at one of the edges from top to the any recommendations on how to fix it ?

    I thought the cover spine was supposed to be separate from the book, so it bows out instead of in when the book is opened. Is that not right?

    • @josephp2229
      @josephp2229 5 місяців тому

      Thats a different kind of spine. There are quite a few different kinds. Afaik this seems to be a “perfect” spine. The one you mentioned has better support though.

    Thank you. What was the self adhesive linen for?

    • @rebeccawalker1819
      @rebeccawalker1819  3 роки тому +1

      It helps keep the pages together and binding tight.

    • @susanbrockmann3635
      @susanbrockmann3635 2 роки тому +2

      Where is the self adhesive linen tape used? Do you put it on after the book is dried, 48 hours later? I'm not sure how you use it.

  • @martinthatsall1518

    Watch out for self-adhesive products, they always start to harden and fail after a decade or so. Generally irreversible too. OK for basically worthless books but never use on a valuable book.
    Yes the book will be "rock solid" because Rebecca has ignored how it was originally bound. It will not now lie flat as intended and as a result the hinges and spine will be over-stressed and fail again causing the cover to come off once more.

    • @martinthatsall1518
      @martinthatsall1518 Рік тому +1

      Yes, trawl through DAS Bookbinding videos to see how this type of work is done so as to be fully reversible and long lasting - the only way really.

    How did it look when you opened it

    • @rebeccawalker1819
      @rebeccawalker1819  3 роки тому

      Totally normal. As long as the end pages are still attached (or you make replacements), there is no issue with appearance.

    Just that glue + brush set are more expensive than buying a new book :/ Dang. I wanted to repair my old book instead, and save money.

      Really? That's like a $2 paint brush and ModPodge from Target! You could always use something like Elmer's glue if you get desperate.
