How much water do I need to add to PVA Glue for decopatch'ing?

[Snowstorm]

I've Googled but the answers seem to vary so widely from 50/50 to 1/5th ... confusing!

TIA

I found 50:50 was quite watery, so I started with about 10% and worked up to a level I liked. I use about 30% now. It should be a balance between usability, stickableness and what works with your papers - and don't forget to factor in layering and drying time.

I found that spending half an hour or so with some sample bits was useful.

Sorry, that wasn't a real answer, 'suck it and see' never is, but, in this case, is my only answer

Thank you for getting back to me and it was helpful! I'll start with your 30th and see how that goes.

Ooos - 30% I mean!

Oooops ... oh god ... I'll just stop now ...

Have you tried the decopatch glue/varnish? The bigger bottles are better value but it's still quite pricey.

The lady in the shop told me that if I added water to PVA then it'd do exactly the same job but for a more reasonable price FetaComplete ... the only thing is that between buying the stuff and my DD opening her birthday present, I completely forgot how much water she said to add.

There are lots of people doing comparisons out there :)

I think even MoneySavingWotsits have a thread or two on it :D

Oh, that's interesting

Thanks

After about 8 years of reading about it I have just started selling my made crap and drafting my own clothes. So I have a lot of weird crafting/sewing info filed away somewhere... I warn you, I could bore you to tears
