I insert an Xacto knife blade under the leather first, and after getting the edges loose with that, I use a razor blade in a special holder. the whole thing is thin, so I can get it under the leatherette without bending it too much. Just be patient and go slow. If disaster strikes anyway, go to a used book store and look at the leatherette on the vintage books until you see something that matches (nothing you can buy new will match). When you get it home, cut the cover off of the book and soak it until the leatherette comes off (they used water soluable glue to glue it on). If it shrinks, a little, it is no big deal since you will not have cut it yet. |
