FAQs
Can I use Bartoline PVA outdoors?
No, this product is not suitable for exterior applications or areas that experience constant damp conditions.

It bonds well to most common building materials such as wood, cork, textiles, plaster, cement, mortar, screeds, and renders.
What surfaces is Bartoline PVA NOT suitable for?
It is not suitable for bonding to PVC or rubber.
How do I clean up tools after use?

How long should I clamp wood bonded with PVA?

How do I dilute the PVA for priming porous surfaces?
For priming or sealing porous substrates, dilute 1 part PVA with 4 parts water.
Can I use this to repair plaster?
Yes, it can be used as a plaster admixture. Dilute 1:1 with water in place of water when mixing with plaster or filler.
Troubleshooting
Product is too thick to apply
Dilute with water according to the intended application (e.g., 1 part PVA to 4 parts water for priming).
Poor adhesion after drying
Ensure surfaces were clean, dry, and free from grease before application. Reapply and ensure adequate clamping time if used as an adhesive.
Cracking in cementitious mix
Ensure the correct dilution ratio was used for admixing. For small areas, use a 1:1 PVA to water ratio before adding to the mix. For larger areas, use a 3:1 PVA to water ratio and apply to the surface first.
White residue on surfaces after drying
This can occur if too much product was applied or if it wasn't fully integrated. Try to gently brush off any excess once dry, or ensure proper dilution for priming/sealing tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease before application. For priming or sealing, dilute 1 part PVA with 4 parts water. For use as a bonding agent with plaster, apply neat PVA while the plaster is still tacky. When admixing with cement for small renders, combine PVA with an equal amount of water before adding to the mix. For larger areas, dilute 3 parts PVA with 1 part water and apply before the normal render mix. For filler/plaster admixtures, dilute 1:1 with water in place of water.
Compatibility: Bonds well to wood, cork, textiles, plaster, cement, mortar, screeds, and renders. Not suitable for PVC or rubber.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from frost. Clean tools and spills immediately with water. Dried PVA can be difficult to remove.
