Troubleshooting

Paste is too thick or lumpy

Add a small amount of water and stir thoroughly until smooth. Ensure powder is added gradually to water during mixing.

Wallpaper is not adhering properly

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply a more generous, even coat of paste, paying attention to edges. Check if the wallpaper type is suitable for this paste.

Paste seems to be drying too quickly
