This Teflon Square Bone Folder is a new shape that we think can be extremely useful to any artist, book binder, or paper crafter.  The square shape easily fits in your hand, giving you more leverage to maneuver and use the broad knife side of the tool.  The 45 degree edge allows for a natural fit in your hand.   This can then be used in many ways, including squeezing bubbles out to ensure good adhesion when gluing two flat surfaces together.  For instance, during the book binding process when gluing leather to the outside cover.We make our bone folders from Teflon, a strong, non-contaminating and non-stick material, which means that adhesives, inks and paints will not stick to it.If you use a traditional bone folder made of bone or plastic, you know its tendency to get worn down, discolored, and stained with age; this leads to messy clean up or worse, contamination of your next project. This is not the case with a Teflon bone folder; it will only get smoother and shinier with age while making clean up a snap and best of all it won't leave a shiny mark when rubbed over your work.Size: 2" x 2" x 1/4"Some of the most common uses we have seen or heard about include:- pressing down folds,- burnishing- sticking layers- folding, creasing, & scoring paper & fabric- card making- handmade books- book repair & conservation- origami- ribbon curling- paper quilling (paper filigree)- burnishing transfers- tailoring- stained glass art- dimensional paint techniques- gift wrapping- removing pieces from moldsWe make many different styles / sizes of bone folders, you can find these here:http://www.bonefolder.com
