    It’s not quite the same stuff as glue. PVA glue is polyvinyl acetate, and PVA filament is polyvinyl alcohol. The glue doesn’t dissolve in cold water like the filament does.

      You are correct, should have double-checked that the two PVAs referred to the same thing.

      I think the rest of my comment still pretty much stands though, PVA glue isn’t quite water soluble but the cleanup for it isn’t much more involved and doesn’t involve any exotic solvents or anything
