I live in the UK and we don't have that brand over here --- End quote --- Did anyone figure out what an equivalent to to "PVA" is in the states yet? --- End quote --- Yes.... Read the thread a little closer... You are looking for "PVA Based Weatherproof White Wood Glue" Your local DIY store will be able to supply this for you. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

OK, I had a slight delay in getting to the priming and painting of my MDF cab but tonight I am going to Home Depot straight from work and buying the necessary supplies to test out on scrap. Any thoughts on painting in semi-cold weather. I'm in NJ and it's been pretty mild but I'm afraid it's not going to last much longer. I'll be painting in an unheated garage so no wind. Anyway, I hope this works! |

I left it in the garage just overnight after painting, and then brought it in the house the next day. DAYS later, the paint was still coming tacky! |

I couldn't find the PVA Glue at Home Depot - they had no idea what I was talking about but they are kind of moronish there... anyway, I bought a sprayer and I'll be applying the primer today (although I'm going to brush the primer on and sand in between coats. I anticipate 2 coats of primer followed by multiple coats of pink Behr paint (basically however many it takes until it looks right) sanding in between each one and then applying a top coat of rubbing compound which I'll buff out. I wanted to get this done a while ago but real life keeps getting in the way of things! Here's what I'm going to do (on some scrap MDF): 1. Brush on 2 coats of primer and sand in between coats 2. Spray on a bunch of thin coats of pink paint (sanding in between) 3. Apply rubbing compound and buff it off with a cotton cloth Whew! I hope this goes well - I am excited to try though... |
