Is there a way to do the gold foil edges on hardback books? If I don't want to take it apart and keep the original cover?

How long does the gold leafing stay? I once received a diary with gold leafing on the edges and the gold came off every time I stroked its edges with my finger

you make difficult bookbinding techniques so approachable with your thorough explanations and creativity with materials- I will definitely be trying this one out!

Peanuts!! I love ur voice its so soothing and u explained it very well. I will def try this out.

This is incredible! You're so talented and this is such a detailed tutorial. I can't wait to try this

Dearest Lou- FANTASTIC! MAGNIFIQUE! BLESSINGS TO YOU!

you are a gift to humanity. thank you!

THANKS YOU SO SO MUCH! I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS TECNIC!!!

The finer grit sandpapers, 2,000, 3,000, etc. are always available in auto part stores, at least in the U.S. They are used for finishing of auto paint jobs. I would guess they are available in other countries, as well. I know cars get painted everywhere.

I could listen to you speak for hours! Also... this is GENIUS. I'm officially now recovering my entire library. Thank you 😊

I love this video 😍😍😍

Muchas gracias por el tutorial, realmente es muy útil y completo! 😊

Soo it means that i could have holographic edges if i wanted to then... The possibilities are endless

I've never heard of using hair spray for foil gilding! Very cool.

What else can you use for the foil instead of hair spray?

Merci beaucoup! I’ve been looking for ages for an accessible fore edge foil tutorial as well as overall bookbinding. Your dedication to going an extra step to actually create this in English is absolutely amazing! Thank you again! 💜

I see what a culture stands behind this 12 minutes video... Beauty, accuracy, style, technique, appreciation of a book as a value etc, etc, etc... Amazing. Stunning tone of voice by the way. Thank you.

Brilliant video! Great channel! Thank you so much for sharing. You got yourself a new subscriber :-)

Every since I read Inkheart book binding seemed cool to me. It seems like it would be so calming. I gonna try it sometime

Very interesting and a great way to give some of my favorites books a nice decor. Thanks for the video!

How on earth did you gild your books?! 😅
I’ve used all the brands and techniques you’ve suggested and I’ve just ended up with burnt foil stuck to my mini iron. Even on the lowest setting and turned off. Help!

There are so many books I never buy because their so ugly on the outside😭😫 so this mini series is amazing

When you accidentally said pepper instead of paper and showed the little pepper for a split second I laughed out loud 🤣 I love that type of humor

I’m doing this to a bible as a gift, since the pages are really thin, do I still have to sand it?

I'm lovingggg your videosss omg! 😍😍 Subscribeddddd❤️✨️

If i want to spray-paint the edges, do I follow the same steps but instead of foil paper spray-paint it? Will the result work?

Could I do fore edge painting underneath a regular sprayed edge? Or does it have to be a gold foil edge?

I saw someone gild their pages with just gold spray paint, which might be easier.

I’m ready to brave gilding my foredge paintings. I had a first disaster out attempt with gold foil on a humid day. That heat activated foil sounds great! What was the brand name? Do you have a li m to their site?

I used pure bee wax on foiling. I hoping it won't flake. why did you draw before guiding? I m unsure I should do it before or after.

That was a great tutorial!! Thanks so much!!

Amo il risultato sei bravissima! Peanuts

Why cant you paint it straight on the book?

What are sandpaper sizes. I couldn't understand because I'm a foreigner

mam your hands are very pretty, the manicure is amazing...

It's really tricky to find a good fore-edge tutorial. You explained it simply and clearly- thank you!

La mejor y más clara explicación de cómo poner foil reactivo en un libro. Thank you so much! Is exactly that I want to need learn 💕💕💕💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do you think this work with gouache??

Are you free hand drawing the image on the edge?

Peanuts. I can't seem to find the links to the videos that you said helped you.
You are right that it isn't up to Martin Frost standards but I doubt that anybody else is. This is certainly an interesting technique and I think is much more suited to folks doing this as a hobby (like me) than the full blown professional methods involving a lot of relatively expensive eguipment.
I'm looking forward to your next video.
