My week went from a total mess to a win because of a glue choice

Last Monday, I tried a new PVA for a full leather rebind. By Wednesday, the spine was cracking and the boards were pulling away. I switched back to my usual Jade 403, spent Thursday and Friday redoing the whole thing, and it came out perfect. Has anyone else had a project saved by going back to a basic, trusted material?

That Jade 403 is a lifesaver. What was the new PVA you tried that gave you all that trouble?

Yeah, that "basic, trusted material" idea makes you wonder if new stuff is even worth the risk.

Oh man, new stuff is totally worth the risk though. That's where the real breakthroughs happen.
