Hollander's Complete Round Back Kit includes pre-cut board pieces for a book with dimensions of 5.5" (h) x 5"(w) x 1" (d) book, pre-cut decorative paper and book cloth (papers and cloths may be used as a pattern if preferred), high quality text pages (Neenah Royal Sundance) for a 200 page book, thread, needle, headbands, spine materials, PVA standard glue, PVA thick glue, bone folder, and instruction booklet. The round back differs from the flat back in that it allows you to add many more signatures and has a more complex spine construction. Round Back books are designed to be used for books with a spine thickness greater than 3/4". You will need: Brush, scissors, and medium weight hammer. All other supplies are included.
Please Note: Papers depicted are not what you will receive. Kit papers and book cloths will vary in colors and designs.
PVA Freeze Warning: The adhesive properties of PVA significantly diminish when it freezes. Therefore, during the winter months we try to monitor when we ship our PVA glues. If the weather is such that our glue shipments may be affected, we will hold your entire order until conditions allow us to ship. A tell-tale sign that your PVA was frozen is if the glue exhibits a chalky or cottage cheese like texture. If you can stir the glue and it smooths out, it should be fine. If not, it should be discarded. We suggest you do not order PVA glue during the winter months when you know the temperature may below freezing.
