And it looks like your dye drama is actually something they do intentionally. So kudos. Today I learned: I’m a f***ing genius Now just gonna have to convince it to bend now that it’s got a half gallon of dye in it! I’ve got 6 days. I will not accept defeat Quote

Worked the spine with some NFO clamped it bent for ten minutes- good to go. Then sanded and glued. I have it clamped between some boards and will put in the stitching holes tomorrow if the glue stuck enough to keep them together for punching. I honestly just need it not to slide, doesn’t have to stick too strong Quote
