Chanel, when you say add methyl cellulose to the PVA, do you mean the liquid or powder type and at what ratio? TiA 😊 I find full-strength PVA on it’s own, to be to dry way too quickly. Have you watched Sage Reynolds? He makes a PVA water mix in a small paint pan and uses a roller to apply it. He seemed to have great success. I also tried wheat paste recently but didn’t love it. It was tough to get to the right consistency and got gloppy quickly. Also dried way too quickly before I could spread. Tried various ratios of powder and water…still didn’t love it.

@@DebKiwiI followed this tutorial for mixing methyl cellulose powder: blog.papercraftpanda.com/how-to-make-mix-methyl-cellulose-with-pva-for-bookbinding/ I started with 60/40 PVA to MC but 70/30 works better for my location. Use a paint strainer to remove clumps from wheat paste and dilute to a watery porridge consistency. A paint roller is great! I just don’t want to clean it 😅

I'm so stealing that tape trick. I often end up with my endpapers closer to that edge of one cover than another so hopefully this'll help me keep them even!

I really appreciate this. On my last project, I must not have had my sewing tight enough because when I put the text block in my book press for gluing, some of the signatures came out of alignment. Your videos are fantastic! And no, it's not boring advice.

Very clear instructions. Hopefully I'll remember when I'm making one again cos mostly I'm rushing especially while I'm dealing with glue.

What is the ratio of PVA to methol cellulose? The combined glue looks a bit thinner and easier to spread. Nice brush, too. I assume it was from one of the suppliers you have listed above? I use Canson Mi-Tientes paper for my endpapers whenever I can. I need to practice more, but my cased books are improving. Thanks for all the advice. Nice to see you again.

Here’s another tip: if you’re using decorative paper as your book cover instead of the cloth type, you should first stick the blue tape onto your clothing to reduce the stickiness so as to not pull up or tear the paper when you remove it. Also, when you remove the tape, fold it back and pull gently, not straight up. Trust me on this, full-strength blue tape can sadly tear your beautiful paper.

Thanks for the video Chanel! Quick question: how do you determine the number of pages in one signature? I always worry that I have too many or too few, but couldn’t find a good guide
@bittermelonbindery18 күн бұрын
Generally for medium weight paper (90-120 gsm) I usually do 4-6 sheets per signature. Less sheets with heavier weight paper and vice versa. Depends on the binding structure… for example in flat-back case binding, you want no spine swell. So the signatures plus the thread sewn in should end up being flat and level with the fore-edge. Doesn’t have to be exact. There’s also a guide/chart in my book about sheets per sig!
@bittermelonbindery18 күн бұрын
@@oliviazhao1052 more signatures and less sheets per sig = more spine swell, less signatures and more sheets per sig = less spine swell. Too many sheets per sig, the sigs won’t stay flat and compressed and it’s hard to sew through. Hope that makes sense!
