Barrettine PVA Adhesive and Sealer

Barrettine PVA Adhesive and Sealer is a multi-purpose, strong adhesive glue that can be utilised for a wide range of projects.

Polyvinyl acetate (PVA) is useful for glueing porous materials, particularly for wood, paper and cloth. It doesn't contain solvents and acts as a useful consolidant for porous building materials like sandstone. PVA wood glue is most often used as:-

• Wood adhesive
• As a paper, fabric and leather adhesive
• As a filler, by adding sawdust to it
• Various arts and crafts projects, including children's toys
• Wallpaper glue
• Drywall primer

This product can also be used as a sealer for mortar surfaces such as concrete and plaster, and as an additive to cement to increase adhesion properties.

Ensure surfaces to be glued together are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt and other surface contaminates before applying PVA wood adhesive.

Always do a test area before starting any project to check suitability and compatibility. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

1. Squeeze the PVA glue onto the surface of the wood or other materials to be glued together
2. Use either a plastic spreader or a brush to spread a thin coat of adhesive glue over the surfaces
3. Push the pieces together, rubbing the surfaces from side to side to remove trapped air and make sure the PVA glue spreads evenly
4. Clamp the pieces securely
5. Remove any excess glue or spills immediately using a damp, lint-free cloth
6. Leave to set for 24 hours before taking the clamps off
7. Sand off any dried excess adhesive glue

Please Note: Any area where Barrettine PVA Adhesive and Sealer has come into contact with the wood and been wiped off should be lightly sanded to remove any residual traces of the glue. Failure to do this may prevent wood stains and other wood finishing products from effectively penetrating or coating the glued area.
