Spray Painting MDF
fjl:
You shouldn't even call it PVA glue. I saw some at home Depot the other day. It should be where you get wood trimming. It'll say its for cabinets and or furniture and say that its weatherproof. Usually comes in brown or light brown color. And Elmer's Brand does make some of this glue.
Ed_McCarron:
Plain old Elmer's Glue All seems to be a PVA (poly vinyl acetate) glue. Snippet from the MSDS:
1. Chemical Product and Company Identification
DESCRIPTION: ELMER'S GLUE-ALL
PRODUCT TYPE: PVAC BASED ADHESIVE
Or am I missing something obvious?
fjl:
Elmer's plain old white glue is usually used in schools for paper crafts and projects. It's not weather proof and it s not very strong. Yout don't want to use it as a permament or even a temp hold.
The better type to use the one that comes with wood fibers for sanding down and is weather proof. Elmers makes such glue. But then so do many other companies. Don't have to go with Elmers.

In this application you most certainly DO NOT want one with wood fibres in it. You want plain ordinary "weatherproof white PVA wood glue" It's not for glueing things it's for sealing the surface so that it takes paint!!!

I skipped the entire thread. In answer to the main question: LOTS OF LIGHT COATS. Too much and it runs and gets all bump. Light sanding between coats too.
