How to Replace the Staples on a Comic Book
- 1). Open the comic book carefully to where the staples are located, taking care not to press down on the pages so you avoid damage to the pages from the strain.
- 2). Align the pages gently, and then clamp them together with the vinyl-tipped clamps. Place the clamps at the far edges of the comic book.
- 3). Remove the staples with a putty knife and a needle-nose pliers, prying back the staple prongs delicately and easing them out of the paper.
- 4). Re-staple the comic book with the long-reach stapler, taking care to align it so that the staples are made exactly on the spine and as close to the positions of the older staples as possible.
