Buying fancy hot wire cutters is NOT minimum effort. No, you should NOT trust a tool for 1/4 of the cost that a good one costs. If Luke had that thing last for years, he was an exception to the rule. That cutter looked like it was made of tin-foil. Sick of the videos that are "so easy to do" but then use specialty tools. Not against these tools, but don't advertise them as "all can do". Just trying to keep everyone honest here. #ConstructiveCriticism

PVA, sieve ground onto walls, give time to dry, knock off excess and spray with sealant. Once dry, it goes right back to powdery? Any ideas?

For the love Khorne, wear a dust mask/paint respirator. I don't care if it only takes you 1 minute to spray or dust your piece; you should always use a mask. Takes 5 seconds to put on. None of that, "Eh, just this once." or "This will be quick..." shite -- dust, paint and other chemicals don't care how quick you are. Many 'quick' jobs done maskless add up to a lot of exposure in the long run. Save your lungs. Your elderly self will thank you.
