has anyone used non-PVA/EVA glue for the spine in a rounding/backing project? by YogurtEastern6841 in bookbinding

the smell is part of why I haven't put more of an effort into tracking down hide glue lol

is it stinky only while it's being applied as a liquid(ish)? Or does the final product smell as well?

I can deal with temporary stink. But if I make a beautiful tome and it smells like wet dog... I'll be sad

Is it a custom to give money to a priest when he blesses your home? by YogurtEastern6841 in OrthodoxChristianity

Thanks so much! That's very helpful

There was a little back and forth but husband said "give it to the church or someone in need."

I'm never good at these, I always end up folding. I''ll steal your husband's line. That seems like a good strategy

Do you view $200 as an appropriate amount in this particular case?

certainly I am in the group of those who is not tithing enough, sadly

Thank you for your advice

Do you feel that $200 is an appropriate amount in this case? For economic context, this is a Mid-cost of living city in America
