Very helpful video! How long should I let this dry for? Also does it matter what side of the rice paper I put the glue on? I noticed one side is rougher than the other. Thank you!
@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks15 күн бұрын
I always let mine dry overnight, but you can speed the process up by putting it out in the sun. Don't try to remove the bookcloth from the glass if it's even slightly damp, though. It will curl and warp and the result will be very unsatisfying. :) It doesn't really matter which side of the rice paper you use. I'm always changing my mind - rough side up, rough side down - and it never seems to matter at all.

Kristi, you truly are a great teacher! I am so inspired by your various videos, especially this one. I had not heard of nor seen piano hinge binding until today, and I am impressed. I know I will be making a piano hinge book really soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so clearly and precisely. You are a MASTER, for sure!

Thank you so much for sharing! I would like to make one that is quite large, 65cm in length for a large manuscript. Should I use a thicker kind of board, or even wood for the lower part to make it more steardy? :)

As someone who always has problems to change sizes from a tutorial this is a game changer using your sheets. I couldn´t resist to try it immediately and at first I didn´t understand anything (I´m not a native english speaker) but I didn´t want to give up. I printed the sheets and thought "just start" and it turned out beautiful. Everything went perfectly. Thanks soooo much !

I'm sure there's a reason, but...what if you put the fabric on the glass first? Then apply the glue to the entire fabric, making sure it's smooth. Then working outwards from the center of both the fabric and the dry paper, cover the fabric with the paper. Since the paste has already struck through to the front of the cloth, any tonal changes would b uniform. I did see something about heavy plastic being a better surface than glass. Something about it's pliability makes it less likely that the bookcloth gets destroyed when dry. I may have seen this dry paper on wet fabric technique somewhere. I just think that for me that fiddly, wet, thin sheet of paper is a disaster waiting to happen. 😲
@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks8 ай бұрын
I always say "Experiment!" That's how to find a technique that works for you. This one works for me, every time. I have used my plastic cutting mat as a surface for very large pieces of bookcloth (see my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpvWf397f9yppZI at about 2:42), but if you use something pliable like that, be sure to weight the edges so it doesn't curl up, which it will do as the cloth/paper combo dry. Letting it just curl will ruin it. And yes, the wet paper is a bit awkward the first time or two, but you'll get the hang of it quickly, and the wet, gluey paper is surprisingly forgiving, allowing you to reposition until it's just right. But regardless, try everything and find the technique that works for you.

@@KristiWarrenHandmadeBooks Hi I made samples. One of them I did the way you did it in the video, with putting the paste on the paper and then lifting it onto the fabric. It was fiddly, but not as bad as I thought. Not great in terms of my handling it, but it was my first try. With the other one, I sprayed a lot of water onto the muslin first. Then I dropped a whole dollop of paste onto the fabric and smooshed it around. I positioned the paper on top of the fabric, adding more glue and kept smoothing it. The bone folder came in really handy to get an even level of paste. They're not totally dry yet, but one looks really good, the other one where I added the paper with the glue, dried but it's buckled. I don't think I put enough glue on the paper. So we'll see. The issue also might be the different weights of paper. Also I couldn't find any heavy plastic. I wound up using a PVC sheeting, Duralast. It was around. I think it's a hardware thing but I'm not sure what the original purpose of it. It's smooth and I don't mind scratching it up Anyway this has been fun. Thank you and I count it as a success!
