My shop manual is disintegrating

[Crash Cash]

Pages are starting to fall out of my shop manual. They're not ripping, the binding glue is failing. I went to Kinko's and the guy just went "duhhh, idunno" when I asked if there was anything they could do about it. There doesn't seem to be enough margin to drill it for a 3-ring binder.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Three ring binder and a hole punch.

Take it to a book binder and have it rebound.

Sheet protectors. One per page, and they will keep the pages clean. They will make for a much thicker FSM tho.

Put all the pages back in place. then take a hot Iron, (the same you use on your shirts), and run it along the back of the book. Get the back of the book good and hot. Then let it cool. It will remelt the glue, rebinding the pages.

Great idea!

Same thing is happening with my manual. I'll have to try the hot iron method some day. Thanks.

Shoulda bought something more reliable so you didn't have to use the manual so much.

+1 on the 3-ring binder.
