FAQs
Can this adhesive be used for 'paste-the-wall' papers?
Yes, this product is fully compatible with both traditional pasting methods and paste-the-wall applications.
How do I prepare a porous wall before applying this adhesive?
You should size the absorbent surfaces first to ensure the adhesive doesn't lose its moisture too quickly into the wall.
Does this adhesive work on mould-prone walls?
It is recommended to treat any mould-prone areas with a fungicidal wash before applying the adhesive to ensure a clean, long-lasting finish.
Is this adhesive suitable for heavy embossed wallpaper?
Yes, but you must allow the paper to soak until it is completely supple before hanging to prevent it from pulling away from the wall.
How long does the adhesive need to stand before use?
After an initial 30-second brisk stir, the adhesive should stand for exactly 3 minutes before a final stir.
How do I remove excess paste from the wallpaper surface?
Immediately wipe any paste from the patterned side using a clean, damp cloth or sponge to avoid marks.
Troubleshooting
The adhesive has lumps after mixing
Ensure you sprinkle the flakes slowly into the water while stirring briskly. If lumps persist, let it stand for an additional 2-3 minutes and stir again vigorously.
Wallpaper is peeling at the edges
This is often caused by insufficient adhesive at the edges. Apply a more generous layer of paste to the perimeter of the paper and ensure the paper is not drying out before being hung.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the adhesive, pour the required amount of cold water into a clean bucket. Sprinkle the flakes into the water while stirring briskly for 30 seconds. Allow the mixture to stand for 3 minutes, then perform a final thorough stir to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency. If the wall is highly absorbent, apply a layer of size beforehand to prevent the adhesive from drying too quickly. Always clean up excess paste from the patterned side of the wallpaper immediately using a clean, damp sponge to prevent staining or residue buildup.
