User questions & answers

Question:	How many books in a pack
Answer:	Yes you can write on and illustrate the front cover
Question:	Can you write on and illustrate the front cover
Answer:	Includes 14 sheets/28 pages.
Question:	how many pages are their
Answer:	14 pages so technically 28 front and back
Question:	Is it 14 total pages or 14 pages so technically 28 front and back
Answer:	I just got mine for use with an iPhone 8+ which weighs 7.4 ounces without a case. The counter weights built into the bottom were not enough to balance my phone. The stabilizer would work but shutdown after a few minutes which I suspect was because the motors were struggling. I found a magnet (1-7/8 x 1 x 3/8) to stick to the bottom and it balances nicely now. I should mention that I bought this unit because of it's probability.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this mull
Answer:	This product is not sheer - it has the consistency of a loose-mesh fiberglass. I have used it to repair book bindings and it is an excellent product.
Question:	Is this magic cloth sheer at all? I need something that is semi-transparent
Answer:	YOu need to use adhesive.
Question:	Do you need glue to apply it or is it self-adhesive
Answer:	It is a little more complicated than that (you'll need book board or chip board or something for a cover and the emails will need to be sewn together in "signatures" first) but yes this plus a white glue like modge podge (if you don't have pva bookbinding glue) will be part of the process of putting the emails together if you want them bound like your usual hard cover book. You can look up how to bind books on youtube and there will be tons of different ways to do it. The glue and cloth come in after the "signatures" of your book have been sewn together so you will need to check out some different ways to bind books before committing to this cloth since you may choose a different type of binding that doesn't need it.
Question:	I printed out all of my husband's emails when he was deployed to Iraq for a year & would like to bind them. Is this cloth plus glue how I do that
Answer:	It’s not a pack. The price and specs is for one book. One item per order.
