Scholarly building: Neon ghost book covers Oct 27, 2024 • Amanda Wyatt Visconti I made progress on my neon ghost books project, an attempt to emulate Aidan Kang’s Luminous Books described in my “Book-adjacent data” journal article. I learned: hot glue gun doesn’t work well for these glass & acrylic joints (too thick, dries too fast) leaving paper wrapping on the on glass & acrylic to protect it from the glue meant that it is now annoying to remove; and I discovered that excess glue actually cleans off it easily without leaving a cloud the jigsaw-edge box design calculator I used, and/or the glass cutting measurement tolerances are off (resulting in gaps between the joints)
