Tried using PVA glue instead of wheat paste for a cloth binding and my endpapers warped like crazy

I figured PVA would hold better on the boards but the moisture made the cloth shrink unevenly and now I'm wondering if anyone else has found a way to mix adhesives that works for heavy fabrics?

Man, that's a rough one. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Nobody's brought up how this could've been avoided if the mods actually did their jobs on day one. These situations always blow up because people get ignored until it's a full on dumpster fire. I've seen it happen in smaller groups too where one person gets away with stuff for way too long. Sometimes the quiet people just want someone to back them up before it gets this messy.
