Paper Backing Silk - With sound

Sage, thank you very much for sharing this video :))) I have to figure out how to find this metyl glue here and can't wait to try your method! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing! I have Thai Mulberry in my paper stash for printmaking, so now the silk...I love the use of the boards and your production line....it would be great to have so much ready. Thank you again.

Hi Sage,
You lightly touched on something early in the film, but didn't go into much detail about it.  I'm not really sure it matters with Silk, but for other cloths I'm sure it would have some bearing.  Anyway, the stretching direction of cloth (weft) and the non stretchy direction (warp)...  Does it matter which direction the cloth is, relative to the grain direction of the paper?  Many thanks, and Excellent videos!!!

I have been looking for this information for quite a long time. Wish I had found your channel earlier :)

Thanks for video! GL

Hey Sage, glad to have found your channel, can I just ask how come the glue doesn't go through the silk when you're applying it?  Is that to do with the thickness of the glue or the silk itself?  Thanks in advance.

Hey Sage, I noticed below in the comments you said you get your supplies at Talas and New York Central Art Supplies. New York Central was my Go-to but unfortunately they closed down this year. Do you mainly use Talas now or did you happen to find an alternative supply store?

Wow! Thank you Sage, you make it look so easy!  I have been trying to find a way to use silk - last time every glue I used just soaked through and soiled the fabric.  I will try this. Thanks for sharing.  Great video.

can you write down the name of the glue you use here?

Thanks for sharing this. I'm currently working with some thin cotton fabric to make into book cloth. I've used PVA adhesive with thicker fabrics, like linen, but I'm having trouble with it either not adhering or seeping through this fabric. Do you think your technique using methyl cellulose would help with this?

how well do they Fold?

Hey Sage, great video! I have a question for you, that I didn't see in the comments below. This might be a good opportunity to make a mini "Q&A", so I'll just ask all the questions:

1. What type of paper do you use, and what it's GSM?
2. What type of glue do you use?
3. What fabric do you use?

Thanks a lot :)

This is a wheat paste not methyl cellulose

I have tried to understand what the name for the paper is,but I cannot
Would you tell

15! This is the first of you films I am watching but I have to watch more to see what you do with so many potential covers. Clear directions, thank you for NO music. Gotta find some vinyl wallpaper paste or some substitute for the one book cover I hope to do.

Thank you for this. Really clear and informative.

Thank you very much for the demonstration and for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Croatia

Why doesn't the silk get glued to your board during the gluing phase? It is because your paste is so thick. I want to try to make book cloth from a recycled silk kimono and the weave isn't too gauzy or open but I'd worry that pushing the paste through the silk would glue it to your board? Thanks for the tutorial as it was exactly what I was looking for.

thats very intresting tutorial, and would like to try it sometime, yet i have to ask what is the purpose of this paper backed silk??

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I subscribe to your channel. A greeting from Spain. Sorry for my english (google translate)

Hi Sage, what can I say but thank you so very, very much for all your videos. you have helped me immensely with my little projects. Thank you for sharing your talent.CheersLynn

What's MC?

Hi Sage, great video. Had a question about materials. Is the binder's board the preferred method, could you also use something like a laminate sheet or fiberglass reinforced plastic sheet to prevent curling? Also, if not using silk, I'm using cotton linen fabric, like quilting fabric, is there any issue with the MC seeping through too much? Thanks, Ryan.

That was rewarding to watch. Thank you.

Gracis por enseñarnos tanto con tanta sencilles...DIOS lo bendiga siempre..

That was awesome. You did a great job. The silk looked perfect. Thank you!

Excelente!! Qué adhesivo o pegamento utiliza? Saludos desde 🇦🇷🙋🏽‍♀️🍀

Hi Thank you so much for your wonderful book binding tutorials, I have never made a book before, with your help have printed, stitched and bound two wonderful books. This has been a fabulous experience during all these weeks of lock down due to coronavirus, you are a very talented generous person to share your skills so freely, a fab teacher as I found I could follow your instructions. Can’t thank you enough. not only have i learnt wonderful skills I have enjoyed being at home. Hope you keep safe. Thank you again.

Excuse me, what kind of paper do you use? Is it normal paper? Does any type of paper work? and the glue you use, which one is it? Thank you!

Hi, do you know if it is good for wall covering? Thanks.

What a mastery of the technique!

Where’d the first piece of paper go?

WOW WOW beautiful!!

I find this video very informative. I do several surface design techniques on fabric and have wanted to incorporate in a book. I am looking at the yellow tool you use for spreading the methyl cellulose out evenly and wondering what it is called. I am not finding anything like that in a bookbinding supply or art supply store. But I aslo don't know what to call it. I am thinking it probably is not unique to bookbinding. Can you help me on that.

good freind

Sage. Thank you. You’re a great teacher! Could this be use for lamp shade as well?

Hi thank you for showing this demo. is there anywhere i can buy paper backed silk for my painting projects. thanks

Sage Reynolds, I have just discovered your videos tonight. Its like a trip to heaven! I love the way you work, your expertise show and the silk paper is beautiful. It seems the MC forms a water proof barrier or do you have to coat the book your made afterwards. I cannot wait for tomorrow to start on some paper and explore more of your videos. I watched the Japanese stab binding and would love to know what the inset piece was going to be. How long does the MC last after making such a thick batch?

Thank you

Your tutorials are really fantastic, so I rewatch them from time to time !!! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year 2022 🙂

What paper do you use? xxxxxxx

Absolutely wonderful tutorial. I would like to make this to paint on to the silk - like Chinese silk wallpaper. Do you think this method would be good? Not sure what type of silk to use but I’ll experiment. Thanks!

Hi Sage, thanks for the instructions, very helpful. Can you please tell me about the methylcellulose, is it the same as wallpaper paste or at least the cellulose paste sold as paper mache adhesive? Methylcellulose is described as archival, can you give me any hints on how to research why it has archival attributes.
Sorry to pester and thanks for the video and your time.

Hi again, sorry I pestered you with queries, I have found papers on the qualities of the cellulose pastes. Many thanks for your time and thanks again for the instructive video.

thanks for this !! Do they make sulked back wallpaper like this ? thanks

Hi do you do this professionally for others?

I really enjoyed the backing silk, I could not hear what type of backing paper did you use the subtitles did not pick it up either did you say mulberry paper? the video was very helpful as not a lot out there on this subject.
