    Trouble is, what do you do about the manufacturers insructions telling you to use PVA? (or at least their own pre-watered version of PVA?) I used it recently as per instructions and it seems to have done a good job, only thing I would do different is put a white basecoat on over the PVA before putting the coloured coat on.
    I agree and sent this to the board guide 18 month ago but had no success...

    Hello andrew
    I can't comment on the wrongs and rights of using pva but if you want to start a thread, go ahead.
