    Is there a specific type of wax paper that you use? Also what are you using to glue this? Does it really adhere to the wax paper properly or do you need to prep it somehow?

    Thanks

    The wax paper was just regular store parchment paper, and it was used only as a buffer between the archival paper hinge and interior cover/pages so I wouldn't get any paste on the interior book (the hinge tissue was Japanese natural Sekishu). I was using generic wheat paste (301) which can be purchased most places (I got mine from Talasonline.com)

    Very cool, thanks for sharing! If you don't mind me asking, where do you buy your washi from? I was considering trying some out on a book with a cover that's torn in half.

    You might also be interested in the post I made on instagram about an early practice project, which involved repairing a split cover: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZpkuN_uAuH/

    The Sekishu (used for the spine hinge) I was able to source from a local art store, however it can just as easily be found at http://talasonline.com which is where I source my other mending tissue (as they carry a wide range of weights and colouring)
