Some people have been banned from this site for such profanity.....lol,lol,lol.

and i am with Dave and Grumps on this one,PVA is just like drugs,SAY NO

Mick, you have been doing it right, stick with acrylic

The trouble is some adhesive manufactuers still sell p.v.a as a primer for tiling purposes and some diy retail outlets also sell waterproof pva as primer and admix so it will continue to be a bone of contention for some time to come

if it says poly vinyl acetate on the tub, leave it on the shelf!!
