Bound: Long Haul by @wolfpants

As a writer, I often am fondest of my shorter stories, but these fics are not the obvious choice for binding because they're so little. I actually started setting this story a while ago but put the typeset aside when I realized it was going to be such a low page count.

But more recently, I have been experimenting with a pamphlet bind to see if short stories and/or text blocks can be bound to my satisfaction, and yep! They can!

I love this short story by wolfpants and I have read it often enough that it deserved to be bound and put in my library. The story contains lovely delicious smut and (as you'd expect from wolf) excellent character-building, dialogue, and just exactly the right amount of realism. Wolf writes true adult characters and I adore this about their writing.

More about process and materials under the cut!

Materials: This is a quarto letter pamphlet bind using letter-sized 24# paper. The end papers are chiyogami acquired in Montreal. Book boards are actually cut from matte board that came in some packet of supplies or another, about 1 mm thickness and quite a bit bendier than my usual 2 mm book board, but worked nicely and feels appropriate for this little baby.

Book cloth is wooqu off Amazon as per. I sewed the pamphlet using three strands of waxed embroidery floss. Spine is strengthened with mull and a little strip of the same paper as the text block. Cover decoration is HTV vinyl. A few titles are foiled with toner-activated foil and a laminator. (Big shout-out to @sits-bound for technical assistance with figuring out that process!)

Process: This is a sewn 64-page/16 sheet quarto. I followed DAS Bookbinding's YouTube video here pretty closely except (as you can see) I went for a full cloth bind. I also added the paper layer on the spine before wrapping in cloth. I did this because I found mull alone — at least my cheap-ass mull — was not making for a smooth spine. The paper was a huge help on this front.

This is actually my third attempt at this style of binding (not counting the versions I did in class under adult supervision) so please do not be too impressed, lol.

The whole thing is held together by 50/50 corn starch/PVA mix (as well as the thread.)

I trimmed the tail twice by accident so then I had to trim the head twice too, and so that's why my margins are slender. :D

The HTV decoration was designed by yours truly (if you look at it for very long you'll be like "oh yeah I can see that" ahahaha) but I was really pleased with how it came out. I think I'm FINALLY finding my successful approaches for applying HTV. And yes, it was a monumental pain in my ass to weed. Worth it!

Peep the grease mark on the front title page. Sexy. No idea where it's from but yowza.

Bind short fic! Short fic also deserves binding! *steps off soapbox*

Lakeside

Summary:

James Sunderland doesn't remember why he'd driven his car into the lake. He can't explain why he was rescued, or what led to his decision, but he clings to the hope that someone will help him piece it together before hell freezes over. Douglas Cartland swore he'd never set foot in that godforsaken town again. That vow gets tested when Toluca Lake begins freezing in the middle of summer, against all logic and reason, and resurrects the drowned man he'd given up for dead.

Or, "Nature is healing. Hell is freezing over."

Prologue - Tumblr / AO3

1.

Will you reach heaven unassisted? Or must corpses point the path, Blind eyes glimpsing gold?

Another face swims in.

"Mr. Sunderland: Dr. Takuma again. I know how worn out you must be from the tests you've endured today. Rest assured, we won't keep you for much longer. Before we let you go, though, there is one last thing we must test."

"I need to go home."

"This will move much faster with your cooperation."

The laminated card clipped to the breast pocket claims his name is Robert Takuma. When James observes his face, he sees no connection. Certainly there are pieces that constitute an identity, eyes, nose, and mouth, but no underlying thread stitches them together. They float in a loose amalgamation without coherence or meaning. A mannequin of clothed limbs perches on the stool before him.

"Now, this exercise may seem rather silly and childish on the surface, but it will reveal quite a bit about the nature of your condition. With these flashcards, I will show you a series of illustrations. You tell me which is correct about them. Ready?" He interprets James' silence as consent and raises the first card. "Man or woman?"

James dwells in wordlessness before murmuring, "Woman."

"Why?"

"It's wearing high heels."

"Mm." The card settles in Takuma's lap, replaced by another. "Old or young?"

"Old."

"Why?"

"Cane."

"Good." Hands shuffle the deck. "Blonde or brunette?"

Silence.

"Blonde or brunette, Mr. Sunderland?"

"…I don't know."

"We'll circle back to that," Takuma says. "Which of these is not wearing glasses?"

He chooses the left.

"Point to the figure with a green shirt."

He complies.

"Heart tattoo on the bicep."

That, too.

"Smiling?"

They're treating him like a child.

"If you would, please list three differences between these faces."

He stares at the twin cards. They aren't illustrations but Polaroids. In his left hand, Takuma holds an enlarged facsimile of the photo he keeps in his wallet.

Kept; the lake stole it from him. Where Toluca's minerals leached its color and the water crumbled its grain to dust, the image burns clearly, seared into his mind by the radiant thuribles of the fluorescents burning around them.

In a world where most faces elude him, she shines, clear and lucent.

The other hand shows a horrendously different woman. Pustules swell and blister her complexion like globules of ancient film burning to a close. Melting into a wax grotesquery of herself, deprived of her outer beauty, never abandoning her smile.

The whisper crawls from his vocal cords. "Why do you have pictures of my wife?" A cold trickle forms on the back of his neck as the doctor rises. "No— Who gave you those?"

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Sunderland."

---

Damn it, what kind of game do they think they're playing? They've kept him penned in here for way too long. Locking him in a dim room like this, it's insane. More than insane. It's criminal. Mary's coming home tomorrow. He can't be languishing in the hospital himself.

Confined to a padded mattress, James glances down his arm. Gray, waterlogged skin bundles a loose blanket of flesh over atrophied muscles, showing veins and bones in disgustingly salient detail. Blue vessels weave a fine net over his flesh. IVs have blossomed grotesque bruises along its expanse.

Crushing his lips together, James tears the adhesive. The needle he extracts stings like hell, bringing a startling smatter of crimson to the surface.

Monitors scream, a noise he extinguishes by pulling the cord. No need to alert the nurses.

His head throbs as he wheels his bare feet onto the tile.

God, he's exhausted.

In the corner stands a bureau. Rising on unsteady knees, he shambles toward it.

Swinging the door open, he finds a bright silver square staring back at him. He opts to ignore it as he bends down to put on what remains of his clothes. They've taken his jacket, but at least the undershirt doesn't feel too damp when he slips his arm through the sleeve.

First things first. He's got to find a payphone and call his father. He doesn't want to impose on Frank, but he harbors a faint hope that he might have a spare key to their apartment so he can let Mary inside, allowing her to get settled in with her new nurse.

Hell, he'll pay, if that's what his father wants. Frank will protest anything for family; it's more to ease James' mind. He can't have Mary waiting out in the hall.

Tomorrow, he resolves. He'll straighten this out then. Tell his good Samaritans thank you even though he can't stay. Board a bus for North Ashfield.

The prospect of travel makes him nervous. Mary can hardly stand as it is, and… Well. St. Jerome's can't loan her a wheelchair her insurance won't cover.

She could lean on the wall, he supposes, try to slumber out his arrival, but can he gamble on the landlord allowing her to loiter there? Besides, her circulation's poor. Her hands and feet swell with fluid. Even though he finds himself sweating in this balmy air, she'd shiver.

His head sags on its neck. James indulges a new habit he's formed since being admitted and slowly, deliberately pops his knuckles one at a time. His hands have become skeletal, corded things he doesn't recognize; the water has eroded the muscle and fat that used to reside beneath the skin.

Air pockets crackle the joints as he depresses, with long, thin fingers tapering into chalk-white nailbeds. He doesn't feel them. These can't be his. These are borrowed from someone else, a pair of gloves he's forced to wear, coated in small nicks and gouges.

(woodgrain biting into his flesh when he grips the)

He raises his head to face his reflection.

They alleged this was his as well. All of these unsolicited gifts offered him, as though he had to be introduced as a guest to his own body.

The staff hadn't taken too kindly to his refusals. The first time, they insisted. The second, he grew agitated. Please put that away. He'd made his request clear after the numerous hours they'd spent poking and prodding him to ensure his mind remained intact. His patience had worn thin in worry over how long they were keeping him from Mary.

Wasn't a little disorientation after a car accident to be expected? How many more hoops did they want him to jump? He's healthy, isn't he?

(more than she'll ever be)

The third, he lunged to snatch the mirror from the nurse, but missed. Instead, he wound up knocking it out of her hand, accidentally shattering glass in the process.

James froze when the pieces scattered diamonds across the tiles. Disembodied parts flooded the floor. Eyes, lips, ears. Nothing adding up.

The moment he realized what he'd done, a shameful heat suffused his cheeks, pricking needles under his skin. Look at yourself, he thought, the irony of his inability only pushing the thorns deeper. You're acting like a child. What would Mary think?

James gives empty gaze to the glass, the impostor on the other side mirroring his languid movements. Watched by a mask he cannot remove. The eyes that track him aren't really his own. Two broken-bottle green irises. Not too deep. Too shallow.

Fingers uncertain, he traces the contours of this alien terrain, starting from the bridge of his nose downwards, into the dip of his Cupid's bow. The soft streams of breath he releases through his nostrils tickle him.

A thin sheet of epidermis stretched over musculature, bone, and cartilage. It feels too dead an inheritance to claim.

As he watches this strange reflection mimic his movements, he suffers a dark but fleeting impulse to harm it. If he hooked his dirty nails into the flesh and peeled away his doppelganger's false mask, shed his snake's skin layer by layer, there may be a chance he'd reveal something truer underneath.

(or maybe you would find nothing)

How I bind my fics - Part 3

We ended part two with an assembled text block, which is perfectly functional as a book, but we're here for the hardbacks

Hardbacks start as greyboard for me, 3mm (1/8 inch), and we have to do a little maths to work out the size. We want a 3mm overhang around the top, bottom, and outside edge, which sounds simple (and it is for the top and bottom), but for the width we need to take a few mm away too, so the book can open flat. In this case, it ended up being 4mm narrower than the text block

We cut the cover and spine boards using our trusty L-ruler and knife, although sometimes I also score the line I want to cut and use the chisel

I like to make Bradel bound books, so we need to make a "hinge" for the spine to connect to the cover - the video explains it better than I could, but essentially it's a piece of thickish paper (120gsm) that we glue the boards to

We then need to line the inside of the covers, again with 120gsm paper, leaving about an inch unglued closest to the spine

These flaps are what the textblock's flaps will sit under later when we come to glue it up

It's starting to look like a book!

We can now move on to designing the covers. One day I'll get a A3 printer and be able to do full spread covers, but for now I break it into three - the front, the back, and the spine.

These are again designed in inDesign, and in this case I've made a background and a foreground for the front and back. This is because the backgrounds will be inkjet printed, and the foreground will be laser printed over top

(A higher res version of the cover background - I've tried to tally the fic to Erin's Diary, and hope I've shown Erin's personality a bit - there's a point when she stops labelling it a going to "Practice", and starts going to "James'"...)

The spine is laser printed directly onto coloured 150gsm paper - slightly thicker, as this bit will be under the most stress of the cover

The reason we're laser printing over top is so we can use toner reactive foil - it'll stick to the laser print but not the inkjet one

It's simply a case of taping the foil sheets down tight over the areas we want to foil, masking areas we don't (although if you're doing two colours like we are, my experimentation says do them together), then feeding it through a hot laminator before peeling the foil sheet off

(ignore the masking tape - its on areas we're cutting off in a minute)

Next we're cutting and gluing these pages onto the boards - the little boxes you can see jutting out from the edges are registration marks so I can pencil in on the revese where to line up the boards - we use the bone folder again to smooth them out, work out any air bubbles, and to push the paper into the nooks and crannies

Now we need to cut the corners, using my handy-dandy 3D printed template

We cut them so that when we fold it over we get a nice crisp fold

On that note, we need to glue the edges and fold them over, making sure to get the glue right into the edge of the board

We're very nearly there now - just need to wed the textblock to the casing

We start by dry fitting the block in the case, then carefully opening one cover and gluing the tabs down, followed by the other, again smoothing with the bone folder

Finally, we need to carefully glue down the endpapers to the board (no matter how careful or which order you do them in, the front paper always gets a little messy for some reason)

Et voilà! We have a book - it'll live in the press overnight while the glue dries, but once it's ready it'll take it's place between "In Their Thirties" (which I'm tempted to rebind now I have foil for the cover), and "Vacation James"

I'm sure there are seasoned bookbinders reading this going "No, you fool!", but I'm happy with the outcome. It's fun, and I love being able to have something in my hands at the end of it; I may not be able to draw fanart, but I can make something to show my love for my favourite creators!

Thanks again to @areseebee and @derrygirlstrash/@carouselunique for writing this really fun fic, and to @imstressedx for planting the notion in my head to do a step-by-step

Now, on to the next fic!

Is Gold Coast Floor Sanding Suitable for All Types of Wooden Floors?

Wooden floors are a timeless choice, admired for their natural beauty, durability, and warmth. Over time, however, even the most well-maintained wooden floors can lose their luster due to wear and tear. This is where gold coast floor sanding comes into play, offering a solution to restore and rejuvenate wooden surfaces. But is gold coast floor sanding suitable for all types of wooden floors? Let's delve into this topic to find out.

Understanding Floor Sanding

Floor sanding is the process of removing the top surface of a wooden floor using abrasive materials. This helps eliminate scratches, stains, and other imperfections, leaving behind a smooth and fresh surface ready for refinishing. The effectiveness of this process depends largely on the type of wood and its condition.

Types of Wooden Floors and Their Compatibility with Sanding

1. Solid Hardwood Floors

Solid hardwood floors are the most compatible with gold coast floor sanding. These floors consist of solid wood planks, which means they can be sanded multiple times throughout their lifespan. Whether it’s oak, maple, or cherry, solid hardwood responds exceptionally well to sanding, making it an ideal candidate for restoration.

2. Engineered Wood Floors

Engineered wood floors have a veneer of real wood on top of a plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF) core. The thickness of the veneer determines if gold coast floor sanding is suitable. Thicker veneers (typically over 2-3 mm) can handle light sanding, but thinner veneers may not withstand the process without damage. It's crucial to assess the veneer thickness before proceeding.

3. Parquet Floors

Parquet floors, known for their intricate geometric patterns, are also suitable for gold coast floor sanding. However, the process requires extra care to maintain the design integrity. Professional sanding ensures even results without compromising the delicate structure of parquet layouts.

4. Bamboo Floors

Bamboo flooring, although technically a grass, is treated similarly to hardwood. Strand-woven bamboo is more durable and can handle gold coast floor sanding effectively. However, traditional bamboo floors are softer and may require specialized techniques to avoid damage during sanding.

5. Laminate Floors

Laminate floors are not real wood; they consist of a photographic layer that mimics wood on top of a composite base. Gold coast floor sanding is not suitable for laminate floors as the sanding process would strip away the top layer, exposing the core material underneath. For laminate flooring, replacement is often the better option.

Factors to Consider Before Sanding

1. Floor Thickness

The thickness of the wooden floor determines how many times it can be sanded. Thicker floors allow for multiple sanding sessions, while thinner surfaces may only handle one or two before risking structural damage.

2. Condition of the Floor

Extensively damaged floors with deep gouges, warping, or water damage may require more than just sanding. In some cases, partial replacement of boards might be necessary before sanding and refinishing.

3. Type of Finish

Certain finishes, like aluminum oxide or ceramic-based coatings, are more challenging to sand down. Specialized equipment and techniques may be required to remove these tough finishes effectively.

Benefits of Gold Coast Floor Sanding

Restores Natural Beauty: Removes surface imperfections, revealing the wood's original charm.

Extends Lifespan: Regular sanding can prolong the life of wooden floors by preventing further damage.

Improves Indoor Air Quality: Eliminates dust, allergens, and mold trapped in old finishes.

Increases Property Value: Well-maintained wooden floors are a desirable feature for potential buyers.

Conclusion

In summary, gold coast floor sanding is suitable for many types of wooden floors, particularly solid hardwood, engineered wood with thick veneers, parquet, and strand-woven bamboo. However, it is not recommended for laminate flooring and requires careful consideration for traditional bamboo and engineered floors with thin veneers.

Before undertaking any floor sanding project, consulting with professionals is advisable to ensure the right approach for your specific flooring type. This not only preserves the integrity of the wood but also guarantees the best possible results in restoring your floor's natural beauty.

How to Maintain Your PVC Laminates for a Long-lasting Shine

PVC laminates have become a popular choice for modern interiors due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance. Whether you have used them on furniture, walls, or kitchen cabinets, proper upkeep ensures they retain their shine and longevity. If you're looking for ways to maintain your pvc laminate surfaces, this guide will provide expert tips and tricks to keep them looking brand new for years.

Why Choose PVC Laminates?

PVC laminates are versatile and highly durable. They offer a sleek and sophisticated finish while being resistant to moisture, heat, and daily wear. Many homeowners and designers prefer pvc laminate because of its affordability and long-lasting performance. Moreover, brands like Amulya Mica Laminates provide a wide variety of finishes, including fabric laminate texture, 1 mm laminate, and high-gloss options, making them a premium choice for interior décor.

7 Essential Tips to Maintain PVC Laminates for a Lasting Shine

1. Regular Cleaning is Key

Dust and dirt can make laminates look dull over time. Wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and prevent scratches. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool, as they can damage the surface.

 2. Use Mild Cleaning Solutions

To maintain the shine of pvc laminate, use a mild soap solution or a mixture of water and vinegar. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can strip the laminate's protective layer.

 3. Avoid Excess Water and Moisture

Although pvc laminates are moisture-resistant, prolonged exposure to water can weaken the adhesive. When cleaning, always use a slightly damp cloth rather than soaking the surface. Dry the area immediately after wiping to prevent water damage.

 4. Protect Against Scratches

PVC laminates can resist scratches to a great extent, but they are not entirely scratch-proof. Use coasters under hot utensils, avoid cutting directly on laminated surfaces, and keep sharp objects away from furniture finished with Best Laminates in India.

 5. Prevent Heat and Sunlight Damage

Direct exposure to sunlight can cause the laminate color to fade over time. If possible, install blinds or curtains in areas where sunlight directly hits your laminated surfaces. Additionally, avoid placing hot appliances like irons or cooking pots directly on pvc laminate surfaces to prevent heat damage.

 6. Remove Stains Immediately

Spills and stains should be cleaned immediately to avoid permanent marks. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent or a laminate-safe cleaner. If ink or grease marks appear, a small amount of baking soda mixed with water can help remove them without causing damage.

 7. Polishing for Extra Shine

To restore the original shine of your pvc laminate, apply a specialized laminate polish occasionally. However, avoid oil-based polishes, as they can leave a sticky residue and attract more dust.

 Choosing the Right Laminates for Long-Term Durability

When selecting laminates, opting for high-quality products ensures better longevity and shine. Amulya Mica Laminates offers a range of premium laminates, including fabric laminate texture, 1 mm laminate, and many other decorative options suitable for modern interiors. Investing in the Best Laminates in India guarantees durability and minimal maintenance efforts.

 

Common Mistakes to Avoid While Maintaining PVC Laminates

Using Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using strong acids or bleach-based cleaners, as they can dull the laminate’s shine.

Scrubbing Too Hard: Excessive force can cause scratches and wear down the protective layer.

Neglecting Regular Maintenance: A little daily care goes a long way in keeping pvc laminate looking new.

Ignoring Water Spills: Prolonged water exposure weakens the bond between the laminate and the underlying surface.

Final Thoughts

Maintaining pvc laminates is simple and requires just a few mindful steps. By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure that your laminated surfaces retain their shine and durability for years. Whether you choose 1 mm laminate, fabric laminate texture, or other premium finishes from Amulya Mica Laminates, proper care will help them stay as good as new.

Secrets to Making the Perfect Croissant Like a Professional Pastry Chef

A flaky, buttery croissant is one of the most iconic pastries in the world. While it may seem like a simple breakfast treat, achieving that perfect balance of crispiness on the outside and a soft, airy interior requires skill, patience, and technique. Whether you're an aspiring baker or an experienced cook, understanding the secrets of a Professional Pastry Chef can help you master the art of making the perfect croissant at home.

1. Choosing the Right Ingredients

The quality of ingredients plays a crucial role in making perfect croissants. A Professional Pastry Chef always emphasizes:

Flour: Use high-protein bread flour to give the dough strength and elasticity.

Butter: Always use European-style butter (with at least 82% fat) for a richer taste and better lamination.

Yeast: Active dry yeast or fresh yeast ensures proper fermentation and rise.

Milk & Sugar: These ingredients contribute to the dough’s flavor and tenderness.

Using top-quality ingredients enhances the texture and taste of your croissants, making them bakery-worthy.

2. Mastering the Dough Preparation

A good croissant starts with a well-prepared dough. Follow these key steps for success:

Mixing & Kneading

Combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and milk in a stand mixer or by hand.

Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic but not overly stiff.

Allow it to rest for at least 2 hours in the fridge to develop gluten structure and flavor.

Pro Tip: Avoid over-kneading, as it can make the dough tough and difficult to laminate.

3. The Art of Laminating the Dough

Lamination is what creates the beautiful, flaky layers in a croissant. This step requires precision and patience.

How to Laminate Like a Professional Pastry Chef

Prepare the Butter Block: Flatten cold butter between parchment paper into a thin, even layer.

Encasing the Butter: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and place the butter inside.

Folding & Rolling: Perform a book fold or letter fold, rolling the dough out and folding it over itself multiple times.

Chilling Between Folds: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes between each fold to maintain butter integrity and prevent melting.

A Professional Pastry Chef ensures that each layer remains distinct, leading to flawless flakiness when baked.

4. Shaping & Proofing the Croissants

Cutting & Shaping

Roll out the laminated dough to about 3-4 mm thickness.

Cut into long triangular shapes with a sharp knife for a professional look.

Gently roll each triangle from base to tip, ensuring a tight but not forced roll.

Proofing for Maximum Fluffiness

Proper proofing is crucial for achieving light, airy croissants. Follow these steps:

Place shaped croissants on a baking tray with space to expand.

Cover with a damp cloth and proof at 24-26°C (75-78°F) for about 2-3 hours until doubled in size.

Avoid excessive heat, as it may melt the butter layers.

A Professional Pastry Chef always ensures proper fermentation for the perfect airy texture.

5. The Perfect Egg Wash & Baking Technique

Applying the Egg Wash

A shiny, golden crust is achieved by applying an egg wash before baking.

Whisk together one egg yolk and a tablespoon of milk.

Gently brush the wash over the croissants, ensuring even coverage.

Avoid excess wash pooling at the base, as it may prevent even rise.

Several variables affect the plywood price in Bangalore. The following are the main factors that affect the cost:

1. Type of Plywood

There are several varieties of plywood, each planned for a specific use. The three most famous sorts of plywood are decorative, marine, and business. Every type has extraordinary qualities and costs.
