Debinding Artbooks and Doujins: The Hairdryer Method

Just a short tutorial showing how I debind books as the first step to scanning. Sorry for the bad quality of the video, and my voice. :P

/facepalm

Very clever. The first time I debinded, I just tore out pages as carefully as I could, and attacked the glue with a knife! LOL!

@CatzCradle64 Oh... Actually it IS possible. If you can heat up glue and remove pages, you can also glue them together again :D

You just have to be patient and very careful and good at it, cause' its hard. Even for me.

[CatzCradle64]

Very good tutorial and easy to follow! :D

But sorry, didn't quite catch the last part about why you should scan the cover page first...?

[CatzCradle64]

@Luka1180

I don't think that's possible...

Just buy 2 copies next time like everybody else...

Sometime this is a REALLY stupid process to start and complete, because sometimes you CAN regret it. But its good for example manga scanlation, but its stupid too cause you can still want to have it whole, so --HOW TO PUT IT BACK PROPERLY-- then? Please make a tutorial for that Pireze.

Thank you for this video :D Do you think I could debind Watchmen? I really love this book and want to hang the pages on my wall! It is paperback, and when I open the first page, I see glue, so I'm guessing it is bound by glue. Thanks again 8D
