Suggested Equipment & Supplies:
Procedure:
- Fill the syringe with PVA.
- Shoot the adhesive into each layer of the corner, going as deeply as possible.
- Using your fingers gently push excess glue toward the cover edge. Wipe excess glue away immediately.
- Wrap book, covering fabric around the repair as securely as possible.
- Place wax paper over the inside and outside of the repaired corner.
- Place one or more bull dog clips over the repair. This will provide just enough pressure to set the repair.
- Place the book non-repaired cover side down and let dry for twelve hours.
