Review: A great item, but pay attention to what you use with it - OK, review time...I have only been using this binder off-and-on for a few short weeks now. And I have only used it to bind about 10 or 12 projects so far. But I have learned a few things while using it that I think are important. 1. The machine is only as good as the materials you use in it. 2. That burning smell goes away after a few uses...or maybe your nose just adapts to it. 3. Reading the directions every time you use the device will cut down on mistakes. There are only 5 steps. Pay attention to them. 4. Go back and re-read #1. That is the most important thing I can tell you. This machine is great. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is simple to use. Follow the steps each time and it will work. Having said that, pay close attention to what you use in it. Does this impact the review for this machine? Absolutely not. But I think you should know about it when purchasing this equipment. I use the Fellowes binding supplies as well as others that work for this sort of machine. Regardless of supplies, I recommend purchasing a good stapler that will staple through the amount of paper you are binding. I staple AND bind using the machine and that makes all the difference in the world. Otherwise I personally feel that the glue might not hold as well as I would like - and that is NOT a failing of this machine by any means. The binding machine does exactly what it is supposed to do, and does it well. But if you make a cake using subpar ingredients and then bake it, do you blame the oven when it comes out bad?
Review: Worked perfectly for the project that I needed. - I'm going to save tons of money since now I don't have to take my small books to be bound at the store and can do it from home. I tried it out and it works just as advertised and was easy to set up and operate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you staple pages before thermal binding with the Helios 30/60? I worry about pages falling out.**
A: Yes. It works  very well. The glue is strong but some times couple of pages come out from the binding books. As long as you use staple with glue. It is perfect. They are not recomand to use staple, but it works better. I made many thick binding books with staple and glue. none of them failed.

**Q: I am looking to purchase a thermal binder for my school library--can this system be used to re-bind paperback books that have pages coming loose?**
A: In theory, yes.  The only thing that can be an obstacle is whether the heat from the machine will affect the book spine... e.g. warping, melting, and cracking.  We use it to make custom books and the quality of the spine after heating really depends on the cover paper coatings.

**Q: Do you have to use their binder covers? Or can you just use a thermal binding glue strip so you can use your own cover.**
A: I tried both cases. All works well. I tried binding glue strip with own cover which I used own printed photo paper as cover. It looks good with pretty strong binding. I bought some covers. It looks like commercial binding. Overall I am happy with this binder. Even though binder glue is good, I always use staple to make extra binding power. It is not recommend by fellows, but I have used. None of page comes out from my bindings so far.

**Q: Can you use any cover you want (for example, heavy cardstock) or do you have to use their specific covers?**
A: I have used lots of different covers:  chipboard, cardstock, report covers, etc.  Anything that will not melt at a lower temperature than the hot glue/adhesive.

For the price, this is excellent. Works better than expected and feels well-made. Only minor complaint is that it could come in more color options. Just being honest.
