CrafTreat Lifter folder
What this tool is for
The Lifter is the CrafTreat profile designed to reach between layers. Use it when a freshly placed sheet has shifted and you need to raise an accessible edge before repositioning it. The working end makes a different choice from a long creaser, whose main contact is against the outside of the fold.

Fit and buying advice
Check how the adhesive and paper respond on an offcut before using it on the book. The maker describes separating incorrectly placed layers. The condition and age of a glued joint determine how it responds, so assess the bond before trying to separate it. Use the Large straight folder for long creases. The Lifter listing and maker give slightly different tool dimensions. Confirm them directly if your work area has tight clearance.

Documentation
Questions about this tool
Can I choose it for an old repaired book?
The maker documents a craft layer-lifting use. On a fragile or valuable book, seek advice appropriate to the material and existing adhesive before disturbing the joint.
Is it the best choice for smoothing a full cover?
Compare a square folder for broader contact across a flat surface. The Lifter is useful when you need to reach between layers.
What edge should I look for in the listing?
Look for the tapered working end of the Lifter. CrafTreat also sells a Large folder with a different working profile.
