Stupid Question Time: fixing stupid PVA

okay, the PVA glue I've been using for a bit.. has always slightly bugged me that is appears a bit watery... and often have a problem sticking materials to figure bases and I didn't notice the fully problem until recently. I was putting some stuff on a thick card base for a model and.. It got pretty shrinky. a bit of warp to the card isn't too bad, makes a non-flat ground.. but it's a bit bad in places.

I've had two theories for dealing with this. One is to cut some wood and stick the card onto the wooden base, but that makes it .. noticeably thicker base then before and It's kinda a two part model. The other idea was sticking it onto Another bit of thick card (I say thick, 1000microns (1mm). Problem is, even without using this glue, I'm not quite sure how strong it would be to fix some of the warping.

and I really don't wanna have to take everything off the fairly large, mostly done base to fix this that way.. so.. Just wondering about some ideas ^_^

no clue. I think it's a "The Works" clear PVA ¬_¬ Just what I had around. I know some clear PVA has a shrink problem and some doesn't it's... confusing
