I have managed a bindery department for the last 20 years.If you are going to use that little padding press I'd suggest jogging the stack all the way to the left or right side so you get a good clean & square pad. It'll be a much better looking product. Also just FYI for anybody trying this at home, an Exacto knife or small sized utility knife works much better than the special padding knives.

I have been using an old butter knife for about 30 odd years, it does the job. The video is a bit amateur hour to be honest. Yeah you need a side to jog the paper up to. I usually run oversized paper with crop marks and after padding guillo the job down to size. I think this is more for the do it yourselfers than for a commercial print shop.

I've been in the print business for ------ ever. I have a couple of observations on your method: 2 coats (a lot lighter than the drippy ones you did) are better than 1, partly because it looks/feels better. I add a couple ounces of water to the jar of glue to help it spread more readily. Don't dip your brush in the glue so deep, because no matter how good you are at rinsing the glue out after you're done, some will stay behind and build up in the ferrule, making brush replacement more frequently necessary.

Thank you for showing both ways (with and without a padding press) all the way through. Other videos I've seen show the padding press and say, "You can do it with a dictionary, too." I tried figuring it out on my own, but I had the dictionary back a couple inches (so as to not get glue on it), and it made the pages fan out at the front. I couldn't figure out how to do it just right. Then I found your brief yet magical video, and it helped! :)

I like to lay down a teflon sheet on the counter before playing with any glue. They sell them for crafters including card makers and the like but for smaller cheaper versions some can be had for lining cookie sheets and even for use on BBQ grills to prevent foods from falling through the grates. For some reason our last padding project fell apart in less than a year of making the pads. The glue didn't hold them together. Not sure if the glue happened to freeze or not. Decided to purchase a quart of the stuff today now that spring might be past a hard freeze here in NW MT. Yes living dangerously but the product ordered states it is freezer stable pretty much. What ever that means. After being in house arrest for the past year we're a bit stirr crazy and taking chances...and giddy about that too. Loved your humor here and loved taking a mini refreshment course on how to successfully pad a stack of cheap paper and magically turn them into perfect note pads. Great video and love the touch of humor. We so need humor these days.

So, I have been having issues with the pages not sticking together when one is removed (carbonless paper- 2 sheets). Is it a matter of using more padding compound?
@cfsbindingsupplies3 жыл бұрын
Carbonless paper is designed to NOT stick together to other sheets when using NCR Glue. If your are trying to pad a larger stack of carbonless paper (NCR) but don't want them to separate, just use standard white padding compound. And as always with padding, LESS IS MORE! A thin coat goes a long way! Good luck!

@interchange53629 жыл бұрын
Interesting. For now I used an ordinary glue gun to add addition glue to a heat-binding cover sheet when restoring a publication of some seize. The padding compound certainly has its own use when working with stacks of paper. Those padding presses are IMO way over-priced. In the end the simple versions are barely more than a box. Nice, though your site sells the padding presses, you mention the alternative production method. Don't think I'll go for the sumo wrestler though.
@jeffreymalloy5892 жыл бұрын
Buy colored padding compound, we used to get red or cut with some white and make a kind of a pink. The color allows you to see the amount of compound you are applying easier than white. Another thing, fold a piece of paper and put it between the edge of your heavy book and the pads so as not to get glue on the book edge. Unless you are using an old book you care nothing about. But why ruin a book, any book? I worked in many a printing shop with different kinds of padding presses, some used clamps, one even had bungee cords, hell I have even used the clamp on the paper cutter. But again, put sheets between the edges to protect equipment from excess glue. Lastly, wash the brush, lots of warm to hot water works.

Hey Robin - we really don't recommend using cheese cloth for basic padding applications. That would cross more into paperback book binding, which is outside of our wheelhouse :)
