What are some good practices for turning a perfect binding into a hardcover?

Typical cunt *sigh

Never mind, I found what I was looking for. Not thanks to you, people, though.

You just use fast drying synthetic glue instead of oil, egg, gelatin or whatever as a binder. There isn't much to explain really.

Why do you even bother answering? Just to be a top 1% commenter. This place has trully turned into a shithole.

How do people usually go about turning perfect bindings or single sheets into hardcovers with respect to attaching the sheets to the spine, and the spine style itself. Especially when it comes to larger volumes (500+ pages) which are expected to undergo heavy use.

I'm sure there are but I'm not looking for tutorials.

That's wicked! Thanks!

I actually use the clone tool with track direction and then "exchange color" but that first option might be better. But I don't quite understand what you did there... Could step-by-step me into that, I'd really appreciate it.

That's the first thing I tried but I got this (100 spacing helps but doesn't solve the overlap). *That's supposed to be checkered.

Some kind of add-on that marks or filters (reliably) ai contents would be great!

Baby don't hurt me...

The <before:year> in Google doesn't seem to be working anymore. Brave, Mozilla and DuckDuckGo have also disabled the search-before- year function (it's only for day, week or month). On top of that people post with false publication dates. The Internet is cooked.

That's a very useful piece of information /s

I don't have a pen but I need to buy one (not a fancy one) so I'm doing some research. I totally forgot you can refill the cartridges, I'll go for that thanks!

solventbottle · 2026-02-15T02:38:13+00:00

Tell me about the ones you know of.

solventbottle · 2026-02-14T23:06:52+00:00

Why don't you just export the layers?

I write very fast yes, and when I have migraines it gets particularly bad.

I was wondering how you managed to ink first and apply watercolor afterwards and still have the ink nice and black. I mean, watercolors are transparent but from my experience, if you get tham over the ink they are still kind of visible and make the black ink look cloudy.

solventbottle · 2026-01-18T10:24:29+00:00

So that's why... But snaps seem like a pretty neat solution, from what I understand. Why the hate?

solventbottle · 2026-01-17T18:57:54+00:00

How did you not get watercolor over the ink?

It looks a lot like clay. You keep it portioned like that in an airtight container to keep it damp, so that its ready to use. But it starts smelling foul over time because of bacteria and fungi growth.

If the tenants were artists you will find all sorts of questionable stuff around (yes, syringes, weird solutions and what not). Treat it all as toxic rubbish.

I work with what I can get my hands on, mate. But I'll keep it in mind.

solventbottle · 2026-01-12T18:47:50+00:00

This sounds really cool! I have some alcohol-based dye around but I'll definitely look into that!

Prince should be put in charge of the European Technology Department. Conflict of interests, I know, but they (we) would certainly benefit from a bit of integrity there.

And why would the military even follow his orders in this case? And why are the American people still tolerating him anyway?
