Step 3Protect the binding

Protect the binding
The bindings of the cahiers are held together with strings, and when I chopped the cahiers in half, some of those strings got chopped in half. After a bit of use, this would probably cause the pages to start falling out. No good! So, glue to the rescue again.

Everywhere there was a loose string, I glued it down. I tried to use as little glue as possible so as not to interfere with the cahiers' closing and opening. On the spine of the cahier I used super glue (Future Glue(TM)), but ultimately regretted it because it caused a little discoloration. I should have used the Elmer's Craft Bond instead, but I was impatient.

I used the Craft Bond, which is colorless and doesn't discolor paper, on the inside. It's hard to see in the photo, but I glued down the rightmost end of that string to the center of the book itself. It only took a little dot of glue.
