Step 1: Materials needed including a power sander and foil. Recognizing good paper quality, padding your textblock with additional paper can protect your press. Wear a mask when sanding! I go through various grits from 80 to approximately 3000.
Step 2: Glaire (size) What it is and why we need it! Also going over foil types for your book edges.
Step 3: Take your PVA and water mixture and apply it to your book edge. This edge should be reflective (literally a mirror shine) Apply your foil and allow to dry for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Heat set your foil.
Step 5: Open your book (carefully) and fan the pages.
I'll be adding more bookbinding tutorials to this channel, thanks for watching!
