That guy who said PVA glue is fine for leather hinges was dead wrong
I met a guy at a book fair in Austin last spring who swore Titebond would hold leather hinges on a folio just fine. I tried it on a commission for a $400 poetry book I was restoring. Three months later the leather peeled clean off and the text block almost fell out. The customer was not happy and I had to redo the whole thing for free. Now I only use PVA for paper on paper joints and stick to EVA for leather. Has anyone else had a cheap glue recommendation blow up on them?

Titebond is garbage for leather. EVA or bust.

Haha so true! The right glue makes all the difference in everything.
