Don’t let the complicated name fool you: polyvinyl acetate is another term for wood glue, white glue, carpenter’s glue, and school glue. A rubbery synthetic polymer with adhesive properties, polyvinyl acetate emulsions are perfect for woodworking, bookbinding, handicrafts, and wallpapering. They’re also useful for sizing a porous medium such as canvas or wood: just cover the surface in a layer of polyvinyl acetate to seal the surface against paint absorption—an essential practice, especially for oil painting. For all these gluing and priming tasks, polyvinyl acetate is handy to keep around. Browse our selection of the best products below.
