Double-fan Adhesive Binding
Vise
The "quarter-joint" or
"double-fan" adhesive binding we do in house involves the use of two
special, made-for-the-purpose tools. The first of these is a vise and is
used in the step following the chopping of the text block's spine. At
this point, the text block is a jogged stack of loose leaves. This vise
holds the text block firmly while the adhesive and super are applied.
