5.2. ROUGHENING AND HOT MELT APPLICATION
THICK BOOKS OR BOOKS WITH COATED PAPER:
Roughen book spine 1-3 times. Repeat if necessary.
Roughening opens the paper grain on book spine and
improves binding result with difcult materials. Note that
roughening several times increases spine width. Too heavy
roughening results unsquare book spine.
Run adhesive applicator along the book spine using four step
method illustrated below. It gives the highest binding strength
and can be recommended for all binding types shown in this
manual.
For bindings with easy material, simply apply glue once or
twice along the whole spine length. For thicker books or
books with coated paper, apply glue 2-3 times.
Push the clamp forward and lock it by lifting the clamp
handle up. To keep the turntable still during this action, put
your left hand on clamp’s left knob when lifting the handle.
