Pva in mix

[tapit]

Always pva before foam.

Is true Mr Crisp, foam needs moisture to expand and cure, as i usually have a bucket of pva about the job , thats what i use.

When I started my apprenticeship the bloke I worked with put pva in the first coat when he’d put pva on it. When I asked him why he told me that you’ve got pva sticking to pva and I can’t remember him ever having any issues, ‘‘twas a long time ago mind you

Can't see any harm , I've done it many times in the past with no problems

It’s old school thing. Nobody questions why, and whoever does it didn’t question their teachers.

First time I’ve heard of PVA tonight.

Nonsense, PVA wasn't invented back then.

When I first started with my dad there was no pva, he used something called plaster weld for over skim. It was pink and came in a paint tin.
