Editing Quickstartguide:Gluebinder (section)

==How does it work and what you need==

To do a perfect bind without a cover, you need some sticker-backing paper. It is the kind of paper where the vinyl for the plotter or the sticker paper for the Canon printers are stuck on. You can ask for some of this paper '''at the Printmaking studio'''.

Instead of the cover you would use for a common glue binding with the machine, you will use this paper instead. This paper doesn't hold glue. Therefore, after the glue is dry, you will be able to peel the paper off the book block, with a layer of glue only on its spine. 

The good thing is you can use this technique to glue even sewn book blocks. You'll see the yarn trapped in the glue layer. (see picture below)
