FAQs
Can Bartoline PVA be used outdoors?
No, Bartoline PVA Adhesive & Sealer must not be used in exterior applications or in areas subject to constant dampness.
How do I dilute Bartoline PVA for priming?
For priming or sealing porous substrates, dilute 1 part PVA with 4 parts water and brush onto the surface.
What surfaces will Bartoline PVA not bond to?
It will not bond to PVC and rubber materials.
How long does it take for the bond to reach maximum strength?
Joints should be clamped together until the bond is formed, allowing up to 24 hours to achieve maximum strength.
Can I use Bartoline PVA as a general adhesive for wallpaper?
While it can adhere textiles, it is generally not recommended for wallpaper application; specific wallpaper adhesives are designed for that purpose.
How do I use Bartoline PVA as an admixture for cement?
For small cement renders, combine PVA with an equal amount of water and add to the mortar mix. For larger areas, dilute 3 parts PVA with 1 part water and brush onto the surface before applying the render mix while tacky.
Is Bartoline PVA paintable after application?
Yes, it is suitable for priming before painting, and once dry, it provides a stable surface for most paint types.
Troubleshooting
PVA not sticking or peeling after drying.
Ensure surfaces were clean, dry, and free from grease. Verify that at least one surface was porous and that sufficient clamping time was allowed (24 hours for maximum strength).
Uneven paint finish after priming.
The PVA primer may have been too concentrated or not diluted sufficiently with water. For priming, a dilution of 1 part PVA to 4 parts water is recommended. Ensure even application.
PVA has dried out in the container.
Ensure the container lid was securely closed after each use. If partially dried, try to remove the solid layer carefully, but performance may be compromised.
