Can you paint over PVA?

Question

Does PVA need sanding off the walls before I can paint them?

Gary · Accepted Answer

Depends on the paint you're planning on using. A zinseer primer sealer usually does the job

Dean · Answer

Not necessarily, but the overall finish on the paint would look much better if you sand down and sugar soap clean before painting.

Phillip · Answer

You need to prime it or sand it first otherwise the paint will not adhere properly and will most likely split leaving you an even bigger job.

Rogerio · Answer

Yes, it is generally possible to paint over PVA (polyvinyl acetate) adhesive or glue. PVA is a common type of adhesive used in various applications, such as woodworking, paper crafts, and general bonding. While PVA dries to a clear or translucent finish, it is receptive to paint.

Archie · Answer

Depends on what type of paint you plan on painting over it with . . .water based paints is a no no, as the PVA acts as a waterproof barrier. Acrylic paints are a possibility.
If the PVA has been mixed in the right proportions with water it can be considered a poor man's primer prior to painting walls or canvases. 
Hope this helps.

We recommend that you use what's known as a quality 'flexible' powdered, cement based adhesive such as fast setting Keraflex Maxi Grey. With large format tiles, it is important that there's a full bed of adhesive between the floor or wall and the tiles to ensure full contact.We recommend that you use what's known as a quality 'flexible' powdered, cement based adhesive such as fast setting Keraflex Maxi Grey.
