Hi

I have a problem with the application of pva. When i apply pva with the brush, it
shrinks, it can not stay at the place where i suffuse it and as a result there are areas with no pva. I thought it was because of moisture and i try to heat the glass with an airgun but the results were the same. Pva is applied on a glass surface. I want to point out that i was following this procedure and everything was ok. This is the first time that i have problem with the pva.

I don't know where the problem comes from. Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance

I do recommend spraying though. If you've got a compressor then just get a cheap gun to spray it with. Clean up is as simple as putting water in the cup and spraying it out. Otherwise if you haven't got a compressor, I had good results using a Preval spray system before I got my gun.
