Having used PVA for other glassing work, I havn't noticed any sign of it
on my kit.

PVA release, (poly vinyl alcohol) is water soluble. It will be like a
film and tend to peel off. Wet it and it will soften and feel greasy/sticky.
I am not aware that the factory used it, too much trouble, it is slow to
dry when applied.
