FAQs
Can Bartoline PVA be used outdoors?
No, Bartoline PVA Adhesive & Sealer is intended for interior use only and should not be used in areas subject to constant damp or exterior conditions.
How do I dilute Bartoline PVA for priming?
For priming porous substrates like plasterboard or old concrete, dilute 1 part PVA with 4 parts water. Brush this mixture onto the surface.
What surfaces does Bartoline PVA bond to?
It bonds well to most common building materials such as wood, cork, textiles, plaster, and porous concrete. It will not bond to PVC or rubber.
How should I clean up spills or tools?
Clean all tools and spills with water immediately after use, before the product dries. Dried PVA may be difficult to remove.
Can I use this as a general wood glue?
Yes, it can be used as an adhesive for wood, especially when at least one of the surfaces is porous. Apply to both surfaces, join while tacky, and clamp for approximately 24 hours.
What is its function as a cement admixture?
It can be mixed with cement, mortar, screeds, and renders to improve adhesion and flexibility. For general use, dilute 1 to 1 with water and add to the mix, or use 3 parts PVA to 1 part water for larger render areas.
Does it seal dust on walls?
Yes, it is effective for general dust sealing on flaking paintwork and walls, helping to bind loose particles and create a stable surface.
Troubleshooting
Product is too thick to apply
Dilute with water according to the specific application method (e.g., 1:4 for priming, 1:1 or 3:1 for render admixtures). Ensure the product has not been stored below freezing.
Adhesion failure
Ensure surfaces were clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Verify that at least one surface is porous. Check that the product was applied correctly and allowed sufficient drying/curing time.
White marks after drying
Excessive application or inadequate dilution can sometimes lead to a white residue. Ensure recommended dilution ratios are followed and wipe away any excess before it dries completely.
