Microspatula Lifts Paste Down

Microspatula

Apply new paste, scrape off old glue, separate layers, lift corners, remove labels, and even cut some materials—the versatile microspatula is an essential tool. Of various sizes, the spatulas usually have two ends, one rounded and one pointed. In this photo, a spatula removes the paste down to make way for new endpapers when the book is re-cased.
