Welcome to PIF! Please e-mail me your ...Hi Shirley! Welcome to PIF! Please e-mail me your address.<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to see you enthusiastic over bookbinding. Maybe I can help you if you have some particular problems with it? That vellum paper is just impossible to glue. I use it only when I know I won't be gluing it. If I must glue it, I use spray glue, which is a big no-no in bookbinding. This is the only use where I accept it, because it's the only glue that doesn't show that much. However, spray glue will make your book fall apart sooner or later. I've seen some not so flattering examples.<BR/><BR/>And yes, get yourself a knife! x-acto, or surgical blade or whatever you have there, and a metal ruler. Scissors are for cutting thread and cloth, keep them away from your papers :)<BR/><BR/>Feel free to ask if you've got some other issues. I'll help if I can.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Kaijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716083308836453210noreply@blogger.com
