Glue and Roller Basics

This will show how to use a roller for gluing out materials for binding. It also show my basic work bench set up. While it's geared for producing multiples, the set up is always there whether I have to make one piece or more than a dozen. Using a roller is a way to conserve the amount of glue that you use, always depositing a thin even coat without drips. A setup like this will keep your work area clutter free and allow you to work quickly with out hurrying. More about roller technique and tool set up will follow.

Another great video. I don't know if this will be helpful to you, but to tame the hateful new roller handle, I used the largest paper clip I could find, bent it to fit the handle and then taped it securely to the side of the roller tray. It keeps the handle out of the glue and handy. Works for me ... hope it might work for you.

Great techniques, studio set-up and work process, not just for bookbinding but for any artistic process in which gluing is involved. Thanks!

Thank you for your videos! In this one there's a beautifully decorated book sitting on your bench. Could you tell us about that?

Your video is very helpful. I learned a lot from it. Until this day I used brushes to glue, but from now onwards I will use the roller. Thank you very much for this video. CC
