Live Hinge

There are a few things to note about the live hinge feature of this print.

1. The cutaways will provide some relief
2. Heat will allow the layers to form together better
3. The hinge can only be used so many times
   Please take caution with the following steps:

• Heat the spine (live hinge) with a hair dryer, taking care to distribute the heat evenly.
• Spread the load evenly across the cutaways.

• When in doubt, add more heat.
  I find placing the cover between open and closed position provides a good compromise

  The 'clasp' should catch on the layer lines in the hole, adjust the cover accordingly. This makes little difference if the book is wrapped or placed on a bookshelf.

  Enjoy!
