[Alt-photo] Re: MIXING PVA FOR PT/PD COATING

[BOB KISS]

	Thanks Jorj and everyone else who responded to my request about PVA.

Jorj, the info at B&S did the trick.  They sell 10% and recommend diluting
it down to 2 or 3 % for use.  I use so few drops and the last 100 ml batch
lasted ne 9 years that I just put 2 g in 100 ml in my mag stirrer/heater and
let it cook until it was clear.  Works great!  Thought you might like to
know!
	Thanks again!
		Bob
