Bind a book

In the times when we acquired the books came bound with classic stitched leaves, it was very rare that the same defoliate. But at present, the binding is a big problem, since the leaves are shed hardly use. Reversing this really is not as difficult as we think, on the contrary, is an easy and efficient task.


Steps to re-bind a book


  • Strip the leaves . Carefully detach the leaves are starting to come out, or we notice loosely attached. It is normal to start this task we see that the number of sheets that are attached is slightly more than we calculated.
  • Remove the adhesive . Having shed all leaves, proceed with great care to remove the adhesive that are left.
  • Place the new glue . Placing a small brush the new glue, which will have acquired for that purpose in specialized locations such as home crafts, for example. Without exaggeration, but not without getting too short, we distribute the glue in all the sheets together . Then put the whole group of loose leaves into place, and close the book. We hit the back firmly against a hard, flat surface well (table, floor, etc..) To achieve a more even adherence of all leaves.
  • Pressed . Locate the book in a flat place to support it on its back, and placing something on the sides to keep it up straight. After about three days, we can reuse it or save it where appropriate.
