Many people, in all fields of career and studies, use books. Whether you are a college student renting a textbook or a person who loves to read in their downtime, books can get expensive and damaged easily. They are prone to tearing, whether it be from old-age fragility to improper care.
This repair guide is the perfect tool for those who wish to repair torn pages using household items and minimal time. Your pages will look good as new, and it can all be accomplished in a few easy steps.
It is recommended to not use an excessive amount of fabric glue during the repair, as this may make it difficult when removing the wax paper later in the process. In Step 4, the use of a paintbrush and fabric glue requires the skills of precision and accuracy, so be sure to remove excess glue and instead apply only in necessary areas.

Thanks for article!
In the materials list, you state parchment paper. However, in the actual descriptions, you mentioned wax paper. Are both possible to use? What kind of wax paper is recommended? I’m not really clear about the discrepancy.
