PVA
From KayakWiki
- Poly Vinyl Alcohol, a water soluble plastic. Used as a mold release agent.
- Poly Vinyl Acetate - an adhesive (aka carpenter's glue)
Note: Some will differentiate these two by using slightly different abbreviations;
- PVAL for polyvinyl alcohol
- PVAC for polyvinyl acetate
However, these do not seem to be widely used. If both are used in a single article, it is useful to use these two.
