  • Select a piece of Mylar that is larger than the bookdust-jacket you are covering

  • If the pre-cut Mylar sleeves are too small, cut a larger one from a roll of Mylar.  (Located with the boxes of pre-cut Mylar sleeves in Room 103.) 

  • All of the Mylar comes with a pre-creased side; put this creased side closest to you and facing up.

 

  • Remove the dust-jacket from the book and set aside the book.
  • Set the dustjacket, with the inside facing you, on top of the Mylar.
  • Using the bone tool, gently soften the dust-jacket’s creases—this will make it the Mylarizing process easier.

 

  • Insert the bottom edge of the dustjacket into the pre-creased section of the Mylar.

  • Secure the spine of the dust-jacket with one hand, and fold the top section of Mylar down and over the dust-jacket.

 

  • Using the bone tool, crease the top fold you just made.  Careful not to crease the dust-jacket itself!  

  • Look at the sides of the width where the flaps of the book jacket are located; if the Mylar is too long on the sides, trim the excess.



  

  • Place the book inside its newly covered jacket: set the spine in the center of the covered dust-jacket, and carefully place the entire cover onto the book, one side at a time.

 

  • Completed!
