What adhesive should I use?
For best results, use a quality wallpaper adhesive such as Solvite All Purpose Wallpaper Adhesive (code 27571). Follow the instructions on the adhesive packaging.
Can I paint directly onto the Erfurt Lining Paper?

Is Erfurt Lining Paper suitable for all rooms?
It's suitable for most rooms. However, ensure adequate ventilation and consider the humidity levels in bathrooms or kitchens. Use appropriate primers if needed.
How long should I let the lining paper dry before painting?
Allow the lining paper to dry completely, typically 24-48 hours, depending on the room's temperature and humidity. Always check the adhesive and paint instructions.
Can I use Erfurt Lining Paper on walls with mold?

Troubleshooting
Lining paper is not sticking to the wall.
Ensure you're using the correct adhesive and that the wall surface is properly prepared. Check the adhesive instructions and ensure the adhesive is applied correctly and in the recommended amount.
Air bubbles are trapped under the lining paper.
Use a smoothing brush or roller to work out the air bubbles from the center to the edges of the paper. You can also prick the bubble with a pin and smooth it down.
Seams are visible after painting.
Ensure the seams are butted tightly together during application. After the lining paper is completely dry, a second coat of paint may be required to fully hide the seams.
