How to Repair Omnibus Binding

[@FlawlessDesigns1]

Fyi, you want to squeeze the glue through a straw to get it deep inside the binding without getting glue on the outside of the pages. Also, this separation is caused by opening your books 180 degrees flat on a table. Always prop your books open to 120 degrees, or use a 120 degree bookstand to prevent this from happening. Proper handling/reading of your books is paramount to preserving their condition.

You should go back and watch this @ the 9:31 mark, you're saying your Punisher book is good, but it's 100% separated from the ribbon. You say it's got a good eye but it's actually completely separated from the ribbon. This is very evident when you watch at the 9:59 mark, where you flip it around and view it from the other side. You're saying the part that is separating from the ribbon is a problem. So either separating from the ribbon is a good thing "Bottom of the book" or it's a bad thing "Top of the book". I'm honestly not sure which is correct but you should probably be consistent. Or maybe I'm confused...which is entirely possible and I apologize if I am.

Agreed. Also at 2:30 the Punisher page block isn't attached to the ribbon but he says it's a nice eye and is attached. It does look like the ribbons were attached during repair though as they looked fine when showing the finished repair.

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. In going back in reviewing what you were talking about you were absolutely correct. I was so focused on the pages detaching themselves that I didn't even notice that the "eye" I was referring to was the ribbon and not the normal "eye". I appreciate the heads up! 🤘
