In this video I go over how to properly a stiff omnibus that has a very tight binding due to excess glue. Check out Comic Bound's video on the topic! • Omnibus Spine Stretchi...

Man that is quite the process. Looks pretty effective but scares the bejeezus out of me. I feel this process would take even longer than reading the bloody book 😊. Might give it a try on an omni I’m not in love with though, so thanks for sharing!

Hey bro nice job on this one! And thanks for the kind words about my channel, and my voice 😂 I'm glad you found my videos relaxing! I think you did a much better job of explaining all of this than I probably did! And I definitely think you were a lot clearer than I was when explaining some of the risks involved which is something I really wish I'd done a bit better in my video. If you are cool with it, I would love to add a link to this video in the description of my original video. I think it would be great for anyone finding my video to also have your version as an extra resource. I'm still a very small channel but I've followed your channel for a while and would love if it ended up sending a couple more viewers your way! So let me know about that 🙂

I adapted your method a bit, I replaced the more aggressive steps by putting my finger inside the eye (both sides) and then just lift the book, the weight of the pages then make the stretching and I repeat on 5 or 6 page proportions (so not just in the middle). I did this to alleviate the stress on the pages and redirected it to the glue itself.

Found this through your flashpoint omnibus video and did did this today to my GL by Geoff Johns Omnis and they’re so much better now! Thanks again for the tutorial!

This seems really high maintenance. :) But I'm halfway through JSA omni vol 1 and the massive gutter loss is driving me insane so I'm ready to put in the effort. I normally read Marvel omnis and never have this problem.

Marvel omnis never need this treatment lol.

Thank you. Yes, that step number 3is scary, and probably people should be warned that doing that the pages and stitches might pop and break. It's a gamble. With me it has worked, no problem. But people have to be careful.

Patience is key and paying attention to the binding as you're doing is needed. If it seems like too much, best to not keep going, but I've done this on a few omnis now and so far they're all doing well.

I do something super similar to this, and it seems to help. The only detail I add it I pick the pages where I apply pressure based on where the bunches are sewn together and you can see the sewn loops. That seems to help my tight books and hasn't hurt any yet. Or doesn't seem to haha

Oh interesting... I'll have to try that as well the next time I do this, thank you!

When I stretch my books out I just run my finger along the seam gently twice as I drop the pages on each side. Then I just open it and turn it a few pages at a time as if Im reading it and run my finger along the seam again. It works pretty well and the eye is slightly less well defined as yours but it doesn't scare the hell out of me like some of these steps do.

You also have to sing it during stretching

does this end up creasing the spine of the book though? i see a slight case in your video

Hi, is it normal for parts of the cupboard paper material to come off from the ribbon spine like in the video?
@silverkyle2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I'd say close to half of my omnibus are like that.
