[cooptaza]

PVA being so bad to use externally, I don't understand the picture on front of their product



2 of the pictures relate to external work

There is Waterproof pva. Unibond make it and its twice the price of the standard stuff.
Plenty of other brands also make a waterproof version for exterior use

I wouldn't risk using PVA on ANY exterior work. Use SBR instead. I've seen these "waterproof" PVA products but I'm not convinced and don't fancy having to go back to a customer and have to redo work for free because of using the wrong stuff.

but this particular PVA is for internal use, well it doesn't say it is but it is. Then it has the the picture on front of it telling you what it is for

Just don't buy it anymore and buy decent gear. Its false economy to buy cheap materials bud as if it fails? You will look a complete twart to your customer and have to do the job again for nowt!?? :-0
