SEQUENCE DRAWING - HOW TO USE PVA ADHESIVE

V. Ryan © 2002-2022

 

 

1. PVA is suitable of a wide variety of woods. (Polyvinyl Acetate also known as, PVA and PVAc). It is probably the most common wood glue, used extensively in furniture manufacture and construction. It is a synthetic resin and an very good glue.

 

2. Squeeze PVA glue onto the surface of both pieces of wood. If glue spills onto surfaces that do not require gluing, remove it immediately with a damp cloth.

 

3. Use a plastic spreader or a brush to spread the glue across the surfaces of both pieces. The glue should be spread thinly. Clean up any spills with a damp cloth.

 
4. The surfaces of both pieces to be glued should be ‘coated’ in glue, but not excessively.

5. Push the two pieces together, rubbing the surfaces from side to side. This will ensure that air is not trapped and that the glue has been spread evenly.

5. Use cramps such as G Cramps to lock the two pieces together. Leave for twenty four hours before removing the cramps.

 
 
 

QUESTION : Draw a sequence drawing which describes stage by stage the use of PVA glue.
