My old boss said to never use hot glue on endpapers and I finally learned why
Honestly, I thought he was just being picky when he told me that 5 years ago. I used some on a small notebook last week because I was in a hurry. Ngl, it held fine at first, but after a couple days the paper started to warp and buckle near the spine. The heat and moisture from the glue messed up the whole lay-flat feel. Tbh, I should have just stuck with my usual PVA. Has anyone else had a project go wrong from using the wrong adhesive?

My last sketchbook got so warped it looked like a modern art sculpture. Grant.luna, I feel your pain. The humidity turned my pages into a wavy mess that ruined half my drawings. I had to press it under a stack of heavy books for a week just to get it to close.
