[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 866114, member: 19443"] You?re on the right track, wood glue is usually polyvinyl acetate, but interior paint, is almost always polyvinyl alcohol. The alcohol is the volatile part that keeps the paint liquid, and evaporates quickly to allow the paint to dry. Every conceivable mix of the two has been marketed. With the worldwide emergence of air quality standards, VOCs in most paints have been drastically reduced, but not eliminated. Even the best waterborne coatings have at least 5% VOC content. From an economic point of view, there?s little that comes close to cheap alcohols for the purpose. If there?s any place on the face of this earth, where air quality regulations are going to be disregarded in the name of profit, while the governing bodies are too inept to notice- where would you guess that place is?
