In this video I cover a slipcase by wrapping the side walls in a robust buckram and covering the sides with a decorative paper.
I’m sorry the background traffic noise is worse than usual. We live very close to the village of Brookfield on the edge of Brisbane. It’s Brookfield show weekend and they block the traffic through the village for the event. All the detoured traffic goes past our place. For American’s, a show in Australia is like a fair. Country comes to town, carnies running questionably maintained rides and food that never tastes as good as you remember from when you were a kid.

Any PVA/EVA designed for use with paper is fine as an adhesive. The specific glue I'm using is Evasol. I highly recommend Jade 403 and Planatol BB. It is a good idea to let boxes dry and out-gas for about a week before storing things in them.
