My worst binding week in 10 years happened last March

I had three different orders where the glue just wouldn't hold, and I ended up redoing a 400-page family Bible three times. Turned out my workspace was too cold - below 65 degrees in my garage shop. Anyone else run into temperature issues with PVA?

Same thing happened to me last winter with a stack of textbooks. Had to move the whole setup inside.

Moving things inside is such a hassle though. The whole point of a garage or shed is to keep stuff out of your living space. Once you bring textbooks in, they sit on the kitchen table for weeks and gather coffee stains. Then in spring you have to haul them all back out again anyway. Better to just double up on the plastic totes and stack them right where they are.

Is it really that big of a deal though?
