Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a #water-#soluble #syntheticPolymer. It has the idealized formula [CH2CH(OH)]n. It is used in #papermaking, #textileWarpSizing, as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in #polyvinylAcetate (PVAc) #adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and #3DPrinting. It is colourless (white) and odorless. It is commonly supplied as beads or as solutions in water. Without an externally added crosslinking agent.

Even more things learned while learning how to make a BJD that are actually not BJD related -

11 - There are many (many) different forms of adhesive and they all bond (or not) to a variety of plastics in a dazzling array of ways.
12 - Some of these adhesive reactions can offset toxic gasses ! *
13- Apoxie is a polymer form of plastic (?)
14 - You can model decent mini spine bones with clay

[* No I did not do this I watched a safety video!]
