Just realized my glue was the problem all along

Had a chat with a guy at the bindery supply store in Omaha who said he sees people using the wrong PVA for leather all the time. He looked at my current bottle and told me it had too much plasticizer for what I'm doing, now I'm wondering how many of my past projects are gonna fall apart in 5 years. Any of you ever switched glues and noticed a big difference?

Seems like everything's made just good enough to get by now, glue included.

The last time I bought glue I grabbed the cheap store brand and it took longer to set than my patience lasted. I kept pressing the pieces together for a good ten minutes before giving up and just using tape instead. So I guess that plan didn't work out very well, same as most of my DIY projects. My wife says I should stick to buying things pre-assembled from now on, and she's probably right.
