Pro tip: Stop using PVA glue on book spines
I went to a workshop last month and the instructor pointed out how many hobby binders use PVA for spine hinges. She said it cracks after a year or two because it dries too rigid. I checked my own books from 2021 and sure enough, three of them had split right down the hinge line. Has anyone else switched to a flexible adhesive like EVA or animal glue for spines?
