I finally figured out why my book cloth kept bubbling up
I was working on a custom journal in my garage shop last week, using some new linen cloth from Talas. I pasted it down like I always do, but when I went to smooth it out, these huge air bubbles formed right in the middle of the board. I ended up using a bone folder and a tiny pin to poke a hole and press the air out, which worked but left a small mark. Has anyone else had this happen with linen-backed cloth, and what's your trick to avoid it?

Honestly, are you sure the paste was spread thin enough? Tbh I've found thicker paste traps air more easily, so I always go for a really even, thin coat. Ngl that usually solves it for me.

Yeah, that thin coat trick is the only thing that ever works for me too.

Facts, that's the only way.
