PVA

[Arthur2]

Can PVA be used if 1 surface is gloss painted? Both pieces are wood.

Thanks.

You might just get away with it if the final result only needs the surfaces to have a nodding acquaintance with each other. If, however, they are supposed to be entwined forever, not the best idea. Of course, sanding it down is likely to help a bit.

For example, when assembling some flatpack furniture where the thing is actually held together by screws (or similar), and the glue is only to be a minor gap filler - it would probably be OK.

Sticks melamine chipboard ok

Depends on your definition of OK.

Rips the melamine off IIRC

That's saying the square root of F.A though.

What doesn't?
