Hit the face with moderate force so that it creates a shallow indent in the bat. Start soft and hit the face harder as you get more comfortable with the mallet. You may have to hit the bat fairly hard to indent it, but don't do it hard enough to break the bat. Hold your cricket bat up to a light to see whether you made the indent. The goal is to get the face of the cricket bat the same height as the initial indent that you made. Keep knocking down on the face of the bat with moderate force. Start from the top and keep knocking it until the entire face of the bat is the same height. This process takes around 6 hours to properly complete. The more time you spend knocking the bat in, the less likely it is to crack. Do not hit the edge of the bat directly or you could crack it. Instead, knock the area where the face and edge of the bat meet on a 45-degree angle. Start from the top of the bat and work your way down. When you're done, work on the other edge until both of them have been knocked in. The edges of a cricket bat commonly crack when they aren't knocked in. The toe is on the end of the bat's blade and is usually the thinnest part on your cricket bat. Use the same method as you did on the face of the bat, by making an initial impression and then leveling out the rest of the toe.

If the book is full of tiny holes, or if bits of paper flake off when you move it, it could be infested with book mites or other paper-eating pests. To prevent further damage, seal the book in a freezer bag with the air squeezed out. Place the bag in the freezer for several weeks to kill off insects and eggs. Mold usually causes a strong musty smell. Any book with warped binding, wet or stuck-together pages, or obvious water damage is also at risk of mold. Unfortunately, mold damage is extremely difficult to repair without hiring a professional. Store the book in a warm, dry location to minimize further damage. If you see a furry white or grey mold on the pages, gently wipe it away with a soft cloth. In severe cases, you can repair the binding or make a new one. While not difficult with practice, it's best not to try this on rare or valuable books. Any librarian or rare book dealer should be able to advise you on more specialized cases. If you have a valuable or antique book, consider hiring a professional archivist to make the repairs.
