NEW:
We recommend the use of a glue stick (not liquid glue) for glueing the cover cardboards.
After glueing, the finished notebook with inserted moisture barriers must be weighted down and left to dry overnight under weights (e.g. thick books).
If you would like to skip this step, you can optionally order the cover cardboards with an acrylic adhesive on a dispersion basis for an additional charge.
This is a wafer-thin, transparent transfer adhesive made from solvent-free, age-resistant, permanently elastic acrylic adhesive manufactured in Germany. Covered with double-sided siliconized, white Glassine paper.
The adhesive adheres immediately and without drying time, so that the overnight drying step under weights can be completely omitted.
*) made in Germany
