Product Information

The other main function of PVA is that it’s used as a primer. We seal all the walls with PVA (not needed on plasterboard), to make sure we can get a decent finish. It helps bond the plaster to the walls and also gives us time. Use the ratio of 4 parts of water to 1 part of PVA to correctly dilute the sealer. You can use a more diluted mixture but this is the standard ratio we would advise. 5. Apply the PVA sealer to the concrete floor I tend to just use a paint roller to apply the PVA but you can use a brush if you want. It’s totally up to you. That’s literally it, your walls are ready for plaster. Now the question I want to ask is this: Are you ready to start plastering? You need to brush the concrete floor to remove any dust and small particles that are in abundance. You will not be able to remove all the dust although and the more you brush the more dust will naturally release from concrete so don’t worry this will be fine when you come to apply the PVA solution. 3. Hoover up any additional dust

For external use we recommend using SBR Bond which is much stronger and also stable in Freeze-Thaw conditions. Please also see our project on Freeze and Thaw action. Ensure the area is clean and clear before you start applying the PVA sealer. 6. Wait for the sealer to dry Who is Henkel and what drives us?
