I have seen multiple videos for the application process but hands down this one is the most elaborated. I dont know if you're going to see my comment. But is it ok to get a larger sheet that the original size of the jacket? I worry because that if i ordered sheet that is exactly same size as my jacket then it will be slightly smaller.
Thank you for this video tutorial. Do you have a video of how to reinforce a paperback book? I have seen library books with a thick plastic protector on paperback and am trying to figure out how to recreate this at home.
I do not, I'm sorry! I recorded this for a school project. I do know that the library assistant who works in my office just does it with clear masking tape... But there is a special paperback covering. I would Google it.
@@Charlie-eq3dj I am using a Wal-mart clear kitchen liner and a crafting bone to do it. I found a video tutorial that stated they used this one. It isn't as thick and strong as the kind a library uses, but it does reinforce the paperback book.
Two questions: 1. Why would you _not_ take the extra 15-20 seconds to cut off the excess paper backing, instead of leaving the extra layer of paper in the bottom-half of the DJ? Over time, with other books being shelved next to it, it is likely to develop wear to the DJ at the edge of that excess paper. 2. Why fold the mylar before putting the book back into it? I have found that too often the folds at the wrap-arounds on the DJ no longer line-up with the edges of the boards with the Brodart in place. I think it gives a much better finish to put the book back into the mylar-covered DJ, lined-up to one edge, and then fold the wraps around the boards, and using those lines, use the bone folder to set the new folds. In all, doing both of those takes less than a minute, but leaves a tidier result.
@@PneumaticTube I hard creased a dust jacket ONE TIME and instantly regretted it. I gave that book away because every time I looked at it, I felt the regret all over again!😭
You have posted only two videos five years ago and today I needed your Mylar-on-Book video so THANK YOU!
I'm so happy you found it useful!!
Excellent video, to the point, and simple, even without any verbal explanations.
Thank you!
Very helpful video, thank you!!!
You're welcome!
This was a fun video.

Thank you! Yes, I think you can get a bigger size and then just fold the extra over and tape it.

@@goldilocks5431 Thank you. I have tried to google it before. Maybe this time I will have better luck.
@@DesertMouse298 Did you figure it out?
@@Charlie-eq3dj Yes! Thank you! for asking. I found a product to use and how to do it.

Where can I find this product to purchase?
What's the thickness of this mylar?
I do not know, I'm sorry! I recored this video for a school project...
Looks like 2 mil.
@unintentional asmr
I cringed when I saw the tape.
I freaked out at 2:21 when she grabbed and hard creased the book cover with her bone folder.
@@PneumaticTube Just started doing my own jackets, how should it properly be done?

@@TheSouthIsHot Gave the book away because of a sharp creased dust jacket. Too funny.
@@PneumaticTube Yeah I'm weird that way sometimes.🤣
In a instructional video talking it thru would be much better
