I'm looking at going down the PVA route, I've got the canal bottom a nice dark sludge, which looks correct from across the living room, however whenever I try and brush the PVA on, it starts to peel away again, as though the pva is setting while I'm spreading it
should I be watering it down, or perhaps giving more than an hour or so for the brown paint to set?
will have another try in the morning, if not, might have to go with varnish, but will that react with the Revel acrylic that I've used?
thanks,
