I Love your job may the Lord continue blessing you with more knowledge and wisdom wish to give you my Bible for a fixed
Excellent video. I have a B.B. Kirkbride Bible, from about 1987. The cover is detaching from the inner pages. This wide is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
You are welcome!
What kind of glue do you use? I have my grandma's little old Bible that is in really bad shape with a zipper that encloses it. Do you have any videos on zippers??
Great job by the way👍
No videos about zippers I am afraid. Glue is an archival PVA called Jade 403.
@@SaveYourBooks thanks for the info!
Thank you. For this demonstration. God be with you
Great job!
What kind of paste did you use to clean the spine before using your tool to scrape the old glue off?
It is just rice starch paste. I use Nori brand paste. There are lots of others that work fine too.
Sorry, from my understanding, rice starch paste is a glue. Does the paste also somehow also work to remove old glue and stuff?
My poor bible is on it's last foot. Falling apart. I am so grateful for your help🧸
Someone Bible falling a part, means that person isn't falling a part. It's a good thing.
Hey! Just started getting into Bible Rebinding! I was wondering where you purchased the Oxford hollow paper. Is it a specific type? Lastly, what kind of meshing material did you use to reinforce the spine? Was it just normal poly ribbon mesh? Thanks! :)
Hey there. I bought the Antique end-leaf paper and "Super" or "Mull" from Talasonline.com. However, so you know, I sell a kit that has enough for a book or two through www.saveyourbooks.com if you don't want to buy large amounts. Cheers.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
I glued a deer skin on the cover of my bible 30+ yrs ago and after that many years of use the bible maps came loose and lost and some of the other pages were falling out. I have another bible in fact the exact same bible only new that I gave to a friend and she said it was to heavy for her and she gave it back to me. Question: I want to do same thing to this bible but I want to use a different glue as the the one I did years ago got very stiff when dried like a board. What kind of glue can I use and still have the original cover flexible? Thanks in advance.
Because this is an unusual binding choice you may run into troubles other than the glue but the answer, in general, is that a good quality PVA (poly vinyl acetate) glue will stay flexible. I can recommend Jade 403. Whether it will adhere deer-skin to the bible cover depends on some other things. Good luck with your project!
I got my great grandma’s bible today it had the receipt from when she bought in April 1st 1961 but the cover is completely coming apart and I was wondering if u knew someone I could send it to to be recovered?
The main thing is to look at the images on the websites of candidates to see what they plan to do to your book. Make sure you like what you see! Are they using methods and materials that will preserve the original as much as possible? I wrote a book about questions to ask the person doing the repair. saveyourbooks.com/product/order-book-restoration-unveiled/
Do you think it's possible to make a soft cover bible into a hardcover by putting a piece of thin cardbord on the inside of the cover?
It is a little more complicated because of the hinge functionality but that is sort of how it works.
How did you treat/paint the leather
It depends on the leather quality. Sometimes a little colored Good Quality shoe cream will do the trick but you can't just smear it on. Sometimes acrylic paints are the way to go.
One of my end sheets is just starting to separate from my Bible. Can I just glue something to it?
This is nice.. I bought some dollar bibles and I want to put some plether around it or to replace the cheep cover .. how can I do that?
That is a complicated question! One of the keys to making it look good is to pare the "leather" edges so they look good on the interior. Take some bookbinding courses before you begin so you can avoid some mistakes.
@@SaveYourBooks thank you for the info. Do you have any videos on that?.. also would I take the paper cover off to put the one back on?
I have a KJV bible which is using paste down liner being glued to its French Morocco leather cover. Recently, I found the paste down liner is starting to go off. What is the best way to repair it?
Hard to picture what you are talking about, but I think you just need some adhesive added under the liner?
What kind of glue did you use ?
The Glue I use is Jade 403. It is a white archival poly-vinyl-acetate glue.
At 2:45 you say "and now I can just let that dry". You have missed the whole part of sizing, cutting and how to fix the webbing material. How so?
This video is a shortened version of the complete lesson available on the website. It is meant to only give a general overview for those not interested in doing the whole thing themselves. You can check out the lesson here: saveyourbooks.com/course/7-201-re-case-a-bible/
Beautiful work
Clear and concise, thanks.
You are welcome!
Why is a hollow necessary?
While creating a hollow is not necessary for all books, the structure of books that are case-bound require a hollow space between the text-spine and case-spine. This can be created with a paper hollow which attaches the two spines, or just leaving the two spines disconnected works. Other kinds of binding do not require a hollow at all such as for a paperback.
I've never seen a text block glued to a cover spine before. How is it supposed to move if it's glued?
This is glued with a hollow. Not directly. But all paperbacks are glued spine to spine. 😊. Good point!
Where is the “hollow”?
@@ruthcarter8895 I believe this is what is called a "made" hollow which just means they are not connected at the spine. For more see www.saveyourbooks.com
Link doesn't work
What glue did you use?
The glue is called Jade 403.
If the old glue is modern pva what do you dissolve it with please?
PVA glue is not the kind you can dissolve. However there are two different methods. One is to freeze the book because the PVA should crack off. I have never tried this though so test on a book you don't care about. Otherwise, Sometimes you can just re-activate the PVA with heat and it works to re-attach. Good luck!
Good work teacher, thanks
Awesome videos!! What product did you use on the book to touch up the color?
Without watching the whole video again, I believe I used either a high quality shoe cream like Saphir brand OR I used acrylic paints. There is more info on the www.saveyourbooks.com site.
@@SaveYourBooks Thanks so much! :)

Excellent thanks

How much to rebind a Bible? Mine has a yap and I do not like a yap!
If you google Bible repair you will find many options. Prices can run from $100 to many hundreds. You get what you pay for. Quality of leather and skill of artisan matter. I am not doing any re-binding at this time.
Awesome‼️
Very cool.

What language is this? I would like to check the translation.
Very cool
Can barely hear you. Bump up the volume
Will check on that for the next one. Thanks!
Get a hearing aid I heard just fine
I've had the same issue here on my Android 'phone...
can't hardly hear you.
Haha, my Christian prayer book's cover is not salvageable. xD
You didn't show the whole process. You cut off to many parts. You should've shown the whole process without cutting off any parts.
My goal was to show the basic idea. There is a whole course to take at www.saveyourbooks.com if this sort of thing interests you. I specifically state that it is "in brief" in the title so you know it isn't the whole thing. There is a lot to it!
I don’t know how y’all’s bibles are so beat up. I’ve got one from 1689 and it only has some minor damage
we read them, pray over them, cry on them, and write notes in them. Mine is like a best friend.
As the saying goes... the Bible that's all beat up, tore up, wore out, and tired out is usually carried by a Christian that isn't.
Signs of a bible that never gets read.
