[BKARTS] PVA mix
Forget the parade, Jack. Rain on my back yard.
Thanks for asking, though. PS-4000 does not contain any formaldehyde.

Subject: Re: PVA mix
I have no experience with this formulation, and I really do not wish to
rain on anyone's parade (Ok, there are some exceptions, but this is not
one of those) but is there any formaldehyde in the formulation?
If there is, that is not a good thing.
