Thank you so much!!
I have another stupid question if you up for it? Is it necessary to use acid free board- bc I found some for a good price on Amazon that’s a really good thickness and while the seller said it was acid free a comment said they tested it and it wasn’t acid free. I can’t seem to find a good price for a nice amount of binding board, but I also won’t buy it if the acid in it would ruin the book and break it down/ or if it might ruin it in some other way
It’s just such a nice price 🥲, everything else I have is acid free (the glue and end papers)
It’s not necessary, strictly speaking, but boards that aren’t acid-free are more likely to break down over time.
Yeah 😅 I would love to get the boards that are better- but I might have to settle for the Amazon ones. I guess I was asking if they would break down in the next couple of months or years or if this would be a problem in more like 10 years if that makes sense? And thank you so much for the info!!
