PSA: Cheap PVA glue cracked my spine after 6 months

I used Elmer's on my first three journals. The hinges started cracking around month 4. Switched to lineco PVA and the difference is huge - way more flexible. Anyone else deal with glue failures down the road?

Oh man, Lineco is the way to go for sure. Cheap glue is a trap lol.

Nah, cheap glue works fine if you know what you're doing.

$30 for a bottle of PVA glue? Saw the price and nearly choked on my coffee. That's insane.
