![]() And liquid glue like white PVA is not only stronger but also allows the sheets to move to the initial alignment much easier. In my demo I struggled a bit to have the pages back to initial alignment. If your stack of paper is very big, or you want the shift (and glued area) to be larger you might want to divide it in smaller ones and after binding each glue them together. There are many books out there bound only by applying the glue to the side of the aligned stack of sheets. The strong point of this method is comparably large area of the sheet to which the glue is applied. The intention of this instructable was to introduce the method, you'll be able to add covers by yourself or using other instructables. Lastly I apply some pressure while glue sets.Īfter the glue sets we have a nicely bound stack of paper.My paper is very soft already and the glue made it even softer, plus my stick glue is sticky which makes the back shift of the stack harder. Then I remove the two clips and make the paper reach its initial alignment. ![]() I use a book to have some flat surface under.) ( My sheets are kind of short so the bump is so big it doesn't allow me to place the structure flat on the table (not much of a problem if you work with larger pages or fewer of them). It is good to place some waste paper underneath to be able to freely glue everything to the very sides. ![]() While gluing move the stick or the brush downstairs, so to speak.After I achieved the desired exposure of the each sheet (about 1 mm), I place two clips on the sides and I'm ready to apply the glue.(That inevitably produces the paper bump near the binder clip.) Then I perform that shifting technique to produce the stairs alignment.I put a binder clip on the opposite side. I align my stack of papers against the table and the last side is the one to be bound.I cut away the binding so that I start from scratch. Now I'll give an example of the whole process. You just use a binder clip for the stack of paper to remember its right alignment.) All you need to do after applying the glue is just loose the grip and let pages go as they were. (I use pages from old notebook in the demo, so the stack remains bound on its left side all the time. After some practice you'll be able to make nice uniform shift of any stack of paper you can hold. It is better to first have some practice on any stack of paper (the bigger the size, the easier to do). The main idea is that you bend the stack when your left arm firmly holds the stack, and you unbend the stack when your right arm is holding. To form this stairs pattern you need a finger technique which is best explained by the animated demonstration. apply pressure and wait for the glue to set.shift the pages so they form a stairs pattern (see below).start with a stack of paper, right aligned. ![]() Here, right at the beginning I'll explain the idea of the technology, then I'll show the example of how I do it and provide some additional thoughts. It utilizes a simple finger technique which allows to apply glue to all of the pages of the stack at once. I present here a method of binding a stack of paper with glue. ![]()
