Thought I'd let you know that I learned that trick with the bone folder from Clifford Burke, one of the great San Francisco printers, at a lecture he gave long, long ago in Seattle. Make-up would be an issue, that's for sure, but the natural oil alongside the nose (I've been told) is akin to the oil watchmakers prize. It always makes the folder slide more easily along the paper, and it doesn't stain it. Here at our press (Brooding Heron Press & Bindery), we do almost exclusively simple case bindings and chapbooks. We've folded a gazillion pieces of paper over the last 30 years. I wonder how much of ourselves--literally--is in them! Sam Green Hi.

I also use a teflon bonefolder, but sometimes it just feels too soft. When I need muscle, and shiny marks aren't an issue, I always go back to my good ol' boney bonefolder.

First because I could never remember if I was wearing make-up or not (and make-up on a bonefolder sounds like a bad idea), and later because I've almost completely switched to using a teflon bonefolder. I do believe skin oil is good for the bone. You can also soak the bonefolder in some cooking oil (not olive oil) overnight and then thoroughly wipe it clean and let dry for some time (days?). This is something that you don't need to do all the time, maybe once in five years would be my guess, but that's just a guess :) Well, I’ve heard about others rubbing the bonefolder on their face, but I don’t do it.
