It is. Bottle it in fairy liquid containers or similar. It keeps a very
long time out of the air and frost. It might skim over in an opened
large can.
I've oft wondered the same thing myself; however are you sure? Eg, if
you take a look at one supplier - Screwfix - the dearest version of
'PVA' appears to be this one:
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...99494&id=33245
working out at 15.24 GBP/litre; whereas this one:
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...79239&ts=99724
comes in at only 1.40 GBP/litre. That's a big difference to account for
a cute brand name and some economies of scale.


And this
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/sea/...=22952&x=8&y=9
is £3.58 a litre .

That product, marketed as glue, ostensibly might be considered identical
to the 1.40/litre stuff I mentioned: however if you look at the COSHH
sheets on the Screwfix listings, apparently the glue version also
contains aluminium chloride. FWIW - no idea what the significance of
that is!
