Product Information
Full details
Bartoline All Purpose Wallpaper Adhesive is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a reliable, traditional flake-based adhesive that works across all wallpaper types. Its primary benefit is the excellent slip property, which allows for precise positioning of wall coverings to achieve a seamless finish. However, users should note that it requires a manual mixing process and proper surface preparation, meaning it is not a ready-to-use formula for those looking for an instant application solution.

FAQs
Can this be used for paste-the-wall wallpapers?
Yes, this adhesive is fully compatible with paste-the-wall products; simply apply the paste directly to the wall surface.
How long do I need to let the paste stand?
You should let the mixture stand for 3 minutes after the initial 30-second stir before stirring it again for final use.
Is this product suitable for bathroom walls?
It is suitable, but you must treat any areas prone to mould with a fungicidal wash before application to ensure a long-lasting bond.
What should I do if I get adhesive on the front of the wallpaper?
Wipe the area immediately with a clean, damp sponge, taking care not to rub too hard on delicate surfaces.
Do I need to prime the wall before using this adhesive?
You should size any absorbent surfaces before use and allow them to dry completely to ensure the paste does not lose its moisture too quickly.
Troubleshooting
Lumps in the paste mixture
Ensure the powder is sprinkled into the water slowly while stirring briskly rather than dumping it all at once.
Wallpaper peeling at edges
Ensure that the edges were pasted generously and that the surface was properly sized if it was highly absorbent.
Adhesive drying too quickly
Check that the room temperature is not excessively high and ensure you are not overspreading, which can thin the layer too much.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the adhesive, add the required volume of cold water to a clean bucket, sprinkle the sachet contents, and stir briskly for 30 seconds. Allow the mixture to stand for 3 minutes before a final thorough stir. Before applying, ensure walls are clean, dry, and dust-free. If the area is prone to dampness, use a fungicidal wash first. For highly absorbent surfaces, always use a sizing agent and allow it to dry completely before applying the wallpaper adhesive. Store unused powder in a cool, dry place to maintain product integrity.
