Old timer told me my glue was too watery, changed everything
Guy at a bindery in Portland saw me using PVA straight from the jug. He pulled out this thick paste, smelled like a chemical lab. Said I was ruining the spine strength. Switched to a stiffer mix and my covers stopped bubbling. Anyone else get a weird glue lecture from a veteran?

Ngl that's basically how it works with everything though. Old heads have been doing stuff long enough that they know what actually lasts and what looks good for a week. I swear half the tricks in trades are just passed down because someone ruined enough stuff to learn the hard way.
