I've tried to take a book and saturate the pages with ultra-thin CA to use as a blank but its not as easy as it seems. I wanted to take a damaged book authored by a friend of mine and turn the pages into a blank for a classy pen gift for his retirement. I cut the soft-covered book into one inch slices, stacked them up, and tried to infuse the pages with the CA but it doesn't get into all areas. I haven't started stabilizing yet but I think that would be challenging as well. It seems like the blank would have to already be somewhat bound together before putting it into a vacuum chamber. And, using CA for this would prevent a good stabilization. Can't get there from here maybe. Has anyone tried this yet?
The first picture is of a magazine that I tried to use. I saturated the sections with with CA before using the clamp of course.
