I find most B&Q staff are clueless these days, they do sell a pva bond but just do as fallenangel said & you cant go wrong.

pva is not a proper wall covering adhesive, it doesn't have a fungicide in it to prevent mold growth where a ready mixed adhesive as, in my 32 years as a decorator i have hung quiet a bit of paper in humid and damp conditions with no probs, and if its a vinyl you are sticking on to even pva isn't 100% without keying it first, and you know how damp caravans get when cooking and in winter
