This Is How Book Restoration New Jersey Is Done

By Christopher Allen


Everything grows old with time. Even our favorite books wear and tear over time and are not as appealing as they once were. You have one of three options. You can buy another book; you can take the old one to a repairing book store, or you may repair it all on your own at home. If yours is the last option, here are some of the steps towards book restoration new jersey.

The first step is to align the pages the way they are required to be. This may take a while for the book to go back to its previous form. A professional book restoration store uses a special jig to get the job done which makes it so much easier. At home, you may use a special piece of wood to press down the pages until all of them are aligned.

After doing this, you will require two wood slats. These are used for aligning the book spine into position. The slats are also a big help during drilling. This because you cannot drill directly on the paper. It may cause a lot of spiraling resulting in overly large holes. The wood slats help in reducing the vibration effects of the drill on the paper.

Clamping facilitates the drilling of the book. This is because it holds the book in position before the holes are drilled into the wood slats and then into the paper. The kind of clamp recommended is small G clamps. This made the movement so much easier. Big clamps may get in the way, and you may not be left with space for drilling.

When drilling, you should be very careful. Make sure that you take care of your fingers. Although the clamp twill is holding the book in place, you may need to hold it when drilling to keep it stable. You should avoid drilling all the way through the second wood slat. This is because you may drill to fast and end up drilling your own fingers which is excruciating.

A press drill should be your first option when drilling. Since you cannot drill all the way to the other side, you should come up with a method of your own. For example, you can leave a space in between two holes. Then you might go to the other side and drill into those spaces. You will be able to maintain some sought of alignment with holes on both sides.

The sewing process requires a lot of concentration. You have to use very strong thread because the spine of the volume will be coming together. You will also need to move the clamps, but you should really be careful not to disarrange the pages and have all the hard work you put in to go down the drain.

You might use new fabric on the old new cover because you can be sure it is of the right size. You can use the color of your choice, and it will be your own unique design. You can wrap up by using the gold spray to brighten up the old leaf edges. This gives it that classy new look.
