Evo-Stik General Purpose PVA Glue

A general purpose PVA that can be used as an adhesive, sealer, primer, and dustproofer. Being suitable for most interior surfaces and can add adhesion to poprous surfaces prior to plastering or screeding.

To achieve the best results ensure the surface is structurally sound, dry, clean and free from dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

• Clear all old, flaking and substandard paint either by sanding or with the use of a paint scraper
• Extra care needs to be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces as they could potentially contain hazardous levels of lead
• If organic growth exists, such as mould, fungal, algal or lichen growths, then apply an antifungal, such as Sandtex Fungicidal Wash
• Wash the surface with a suitable detergent to remove any dirt, grease, oil and dusty or powdery residues
• Any surface defects need to be be plugged and sealed with an appropriate filler and sanded smooth
• If required, rub down surfaces and then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust

Always produce a test area prior to the full application to judge suitability and the final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times.

Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue has a variety of applications, which are:

• Primer
• Bonding Agent
• Floor Toppings
• Cement Patching
• Plastering
• Sealer
• Adhesive

Primer:

• If being applied to Porous Surfaces, such as sand, cement, etc, then dilute 1 part Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 5 parts water and allowed to dry
• If being applied to Highly Porous Surfaces such as dry, old stock brick, then dilute 1 part Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 3 parts water and allowed to dry
• If being applied to a Damp or Exterior Surfaces then do not dilute Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue
• If being applied to Non-Porous Interior Surfaces, such as glazed tiles, engineering brick or sound oil painted surfaces, then do not dilute Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue

Bonding Agent:

For rendering onto pre-cast concrete, brick and other substrates of a high porous nature

• Prime with no dilution and allow to dry
• For the bonding coat, dilute 3 parts Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 1 part of water
• Allow the film to become tacky
• Apply render in coats that are thinner than 10mm and to a maximum overall thickness of 16mm

Non-Porous Interior Surface:

• Apply Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue as a bonding coat and apply whilst the plaster is still wet or tacky

Damp or Exterior Surfaces:

• Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue is to be applied undiluted

High Tensile Renders:

• To improve resistance to structural movement, add gauging water to 1 part Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 10 parts water

Floor Toppings

Sand/Cement Screeds, proprietary composition flooring, Terrazzo, Granolithic and other rich mixtures

• Prime and allow to dry as specified
• Apply Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue undiluted
• Allow tack to develop
• Apply screed in the normal way

Continuous Sand/Cement Screeds/Polymer Modified Screeds

• Prime and allow to dry as specified
• Apply undiluted Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue
• Allow tack to develop and then apply screed with 1:3 cement/sand mix with Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue and water. The proportion of Evo -Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue requires 5 litres to every 25kg of cement
• Dilute Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue with gauging water and gauge to a soft crumble. Keep the mix as dry as possible as excessive water can cause cracking
• The screed should not exceed 12.5mm, but can be taken to a thin edge, depending on the sand grading, allow to cure for a minimum of 72 hours

Cement Patching

• Prime and allow to dry as required
• Apply Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue undiluted and allow tack to develop
• Patch with a rich cement/sand mix gauged with diluted 1 part Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 8 parts water. Then cover and allow to cure for a minimum of 72 hours

Plastering

To bond New Plaster to porous surfaces

• Prime the surface with 1 part Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 5 parts water. Once dry, coat the surface with a mixture of 3 parts Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 1 part water and whilst still wet or tacky apply the plaster

To bond New Plaster to non-porous surfaces

• Apply an undiluted coat of EvoStik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue and whilst till wet, apply the plaster

Sealer

Cement Based Paints

• Dilute Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue with an equal amount of water
• Brush into the surface, ensuring no excessive remains to form a film
• NOT suitable for other types of paint, such as gloss or emulsion

Dust Sealer, such as concrete, composite and terrazzo flooring

• Dilute 1 part Evo-Stik Evo Bond GP PVA Glue to 5 parts water
• Apply 1-2 coats to the floor

Adhesive

• Apply to each surface and then press firmly together
• For a close fitting fitting joint, only coat 1 surface and press together
