4.0 Padding Tips
Loading
The Handy-Padder table rotates on a turnstile so the operator can work from one side of the padder.
Counting
Set the printer to offset each book at the output bin of the printer to keep each pad the same
thickness. It will also make it easier to insert chipboard.
If that’s not possible, use a counter gauge. Count out one pad, measure it with the gauge and count
the rest.
Brushing
With regular paper and regular compound, two thin coats will work better than one thick one.
When you’re applying the compound, don’t try to put the second coat on until the first coat is dry or
the brush will stick to the compound of the first coat and ruin it.
The Compound
Regular padding compound tends to lose moisture the more it’s used so by the time you get half way
through the bottle it is pretty thick. To thin it out again, just add a little water and stir it
. Don’t add too
much, or the compound will be too thin and curl the edge of the paper.
There are different formulations of compounds. There are 20 minute , 5 minute, and NCR
compounds as well as colored compounds.
NCR
When padding NCR or self-bonding papers that must absorb the compound, don not use too much
pressure on the clamps. The heavy pressure will squeeze the edge of the paper too tight and harden
it so the compound cannot sink in. One coat usually works fine with this type of compound. Make
sure the paper is good and dry before you release the pressure on the bar or the sets may not
separate like they should.
Separating the Pads
To cut the pads apart, use an ink knife, paint scrapper, or kitchen knife. If the knife’s edge is too
sharp or square, it will cut into the paper rather than separate the pads. A rounded blade seems to
work the best.
Cleaning
The edge of the clamping bar and the door slot in the table should be cleaned after each use. Use a
padding knife to scrape the dried compound off the metal edges. Finish with a wet rag or sponge.
Sacrificial Sheet
To expedite clean-up, place sacrificial sheets at the bottom of the pile covering the slot in which the
door sits. Discard the sheets after use.
