I would recommend golden age backing boards. I see where that board wasnt fully on the front cover and it put a crease in it from the pressure of the press.

I always clean the book before any kind of humidification, tack ironing and pressing. Otherwise you chance fixing dirt and grime into the book by pressing it first. Also I use silicone release paper or parchment paper directly on the front cover under a non laminated backer board or inkjet paper to avoid the possibility of the board sticking. The basic principles are here. I have found that you actually only need to press the unfolded book flat for 5 minutes and then you can re-fold the book while it is still warm and then press and cool as usual.

This was super interesting. I would love to press some of my own books, but I am so paranoid about ruining my books.

Thanks, i learnt something today. I have the same press in purple. A great tip i found for speeding things up is using 12 by 16 parchment, and sandwich your book, board and paper between the single piece. I found adding an aluminum plate on the bottom of my press, stops the mushy pad from crumpling up the back papers.. I do the same heat and shorter times as you do also.

Great videos! I heat the book for just a few seconds before dry cleaning or wet cleaning. I also humidify the book before flattening and again before reshaping. Keep up the good work!

I’m new to this so I’m not just trolling but is there a better way to get the new spine straight? Even in this video, the finished pressing has some spine roll at the top and I’m curious about the piece of paper that is placed inside the cover. Does this not create a line/crease close to the spine?
