Troubleshooting
Wallcovering is peeling at the edges
Ensure the substrate was completely clean and dry before application. Re-apply a small amount of adhesive and press down firmly with a seam roller.
Adhesive has thickened in the container
This may occur if the container was left open. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use and store in a cool place.
Tools are difficult to clean
Always clean tools immediately with water after use; if the adhesive has hardened, soak the tools in warm water to soften the residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the substrate is sound, dry, clean, and entirely free of grease, dust, or dampness. Apply the adhesive directly to the reverse side of the wallcovering using an appropriate tool—either a brush, roller, or notched spatula—depending on the wallcovering type. Always follow the specific application instructions provided by the wallpaper manufacturer regarding soak times. Once the job is complete, clean all tools thoroughly with water immediately to prevent the adhesive from drying on brushes or rollers. Store the container in a cool, dry environment, ensuring it remains protected from frost to maintain product integrity.
