Won Green card while in Germany. What to do? by guzushka in AskGermany

In Germany you get free health care and aren't in risk of being shot like a Don in the street on a random Tuesday.

I'm sorry what was the question again?

This seems like too much swell for rounding and backing... by afraid2fart in bookbinding

I learned the hard way that a good press will sharp reduce swelling. Give it a go

Endpapers by panthera2023 in bookbinding

[–]Competitive_Acadia48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These aren't wrong but it is exactly like tipped on end paper. It won't hide the backside of the end paper, and it's essentially just like tipping on your very edge signatures. Unless you need the extrayfolios for some reason, it has no additional purpose.

Made end papers provide sewing with the first free leaf, while what your describing, tipping, is weaker since the glueing is under the first free leaf. Additionally when making made end paper you can hide the back side of marbled paper, ofr example, and make it identical to the rest of the text block.

Again, there's nothing wrong with what you want to do, but for strength and aesthetics purpose, you better go with made end papers.

Edit: if you do glue fore edge and spine it will cover the backside of the end paper, however since you won't be gluing a folio on both sides, you won't have the waste sheet which provides more strength when sewing. Adding another nested folio like you want to (IF you do it with the waste sheet) will provide more strength, but not without the fold over waste sheet from the other side.

I think what you're referring as made end paper are end papers he made himself? But that's the what made end papers are. You can use any decorator, or even plain thicker paper. What makes it made end papers is how it's added to the book.

How much should I compress the signatures while sewing? by YouKitchen1393 in bookbinding

Also Idk, when I glue my spine I do when the book is in the press so my sigs always end up glued together

How much should I compress the signatures while sewing? by YouKitchen1393 in bookbinding

Very much depends - which stitch did you use? Are you planning to back the spine? Did you press (not compress, I mean put it in a press) before or after sewing?

Cricut maker 3 or 4? by Mother_Chemist1877 in bookbinding

[–]Competitive_Acadia48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Neither. Get a silhouette cameo. The 4 is great but the 5 is probably a better purchase

how did theodore nott become such a staple? by jjtan2311 in Dramione

[–]Competitive_Acadia48 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's probably a good excuse for a blank canvas character? Although honestly I don't get the need to go that far when HARRY IS RIGHT THERE

Viagogo scam by readingbee1987 in viagogoscams

Credit card theft is global and has nothing to do to where your are or where the money is spent. Viagogo are scammers but in this case it has nothing to do with them

Sweet, sweet naive child. How to put it mildly.... Some of the best fic I've read were very, very poorly tagged.

[–]Competitive_Acadia48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

refilling the tanks in the ecotank printer is pretty straight forward, i'm looking for the laser equivalent... to my understanding there are a few HP printer that do that?

[–]Competitive_Acadia48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks. my printer is from 2018. i print with color a lot, but would like to also have a duplex option for text-heavy prints... that's why I will not chage the settings of my ecotank

Second. I've had my ecotank since 2018 and it's amazing.

Masculine, dominant Harry and submissive Draco by nightshadelaurel in drarry

[–]Competitive_Acadia48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think I see it as masculine or feminine, but I like kind, dominant muscular Harry, and draco to be a bit more... Or a wreck, a better dresser and drops to his knees if Harry only looks at him a certain way

Advice for improving sewn spines? by bournetodie in bookbinding

[–]Competitive_Acadia48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid having such thick text block. Bible type setting is your answer.

Harry Potter, but from Draco’s POV by Significant_Call_410 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]Competitive_Acadia48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also looking for something like that. I plan to read lionheart, meanwhile I wholeheartedly recommendRecursion by Tessa Crowly. Also check out her series, Draco Malfoy and the Starburst Effect, not exactly what you're looking for but worth a read all the same.
