Can this be used to laminate paperback books?

you can use it to laminate paperback books, but you need to be very careful when you work with it, because once it is being applied it is not easy to peel it off

You can certainly use this product to laminate the cover of a paperback book; the only caveat is that the laminate is not repositionable, so you only have one chance to get it all smooth and in the right spot. I have found that it helps to cut the laminate to a size larger than what you need, peel off the backing and lay it sticky side up on a table. Then, I bring what I want to laminate straight down onto the laminate film. I trim off the excess using very sharp scissors. I hope that this was of some help!

No, I wouldn't use this for book covers. Even if you cover this chipboard with patterned paper, it is still pretty flimsy. Medium weight chipboard is more sturdy for book covers.

Yes I've used it with both large paperbacks and hardcover books, and it's word fine. I'm glad I bought the book holder, I use it on the couch, in bed and in the car.

I haven't used the tape on any cloth-covered books, but since I like to make myself useful to people, and since I still have some of the tape, I decided to test it. I taped a small piece to a linen-covered box, and it adhered neatly. I left it for five minutes, then came back and peeled it off. It peeled off pretty easily. I know that it can be peeled off cardboard, too, but not quite as easily.Bottom line is, I don't know whether this will work for you.

I believe you could use this for paperbacks providing the height isn't higher than a dvd/blu ray disc packaging. Not sure about the amount of weight the shelves can take.

I can't help you. I bought this to repair a leather office chair. Doesn't stick well to leather. Thin, but seem strong. I think it is made to repair books bindings. So, to repair paintings, i'd have to be concerned about the tape glue causing issued with the painting or the backing.

Depends on size of book, but mostly, yes. Shelves are adjustable and depth is good for paperback size.

I used E6000 when I glued these to glass. It worked real well. I don't know about Laminate, you would need to test it first. Definatly NOT hot glue. I made that mistake. The surface is to smooth.Regular craft Tacky glue or Elmers should work on paper.

Yes, you can. You can't trim right up to the paper though. You'll need to leave a little bit of laminate margin around the bookmark.

Good idea. Very very carefully. These sheets are highly adhesive and difficult to make steady once the backing is off. If you took measurements of the book by each page, meaning front then back individually you could manage to cover the book. Meaning don't try to cover the whole outside at once. I think you could do this by one section at a time after you carefully cut the sheet with enough to wrap the laminate to the inside.Hope I was clear enough on that.

Vinyl Laminate is fine. Dilute per instructions. I would not suggest using on wood laminate.

No they would not be sturdy enough for textbooks. Sometimes they bend with the papers I put on them. Sorry!

Just tried it on a hardcover book and it is quite large. Also think it would cause fatigue over time from weight.

No this is not good for soft cover books. There is a bamboo collapsible stand you can find online that is perfect for any kind of book.

Yes, it can hold a normal hardcover or paperback book. I measured mine and here are the measurements: 10.5" x 8" x 3". It works great for us.

I think that would be a matter of personal preference, but I wouldn't try to use it on a book. Because it runs on batteries, the battery compartment makes it fairly large. It may work on a large, hardcover book, but certainly not on some paperback.

We aren't using them on laminated paper; we use it on special card stock that's slightly glossy and have no problems. I use it on al types of calendars and have no problems
