Full details
Bartoline Border & Overlap Adhesive is a professional-grade solution designed for homeowners and decorators looking to apply decorative borders or perform minor wallpaper repairs.

FAQs
Can I use this for hanging full rolls of wallpaper?
No, this adhesive is specifically formulated for borders and overlap repairs. It lacks the volume and drying properties required for full wall coverage.
Is it safe to use on vinyl surfaces?
Yes, it is designed to adhere effectively to vinyl and many other common interior wallcovering materials.
How much area does one container cover?
One container provides sufficient coverage for approximately 10m of border at a width of 13cm.
What tools do I need for application?
You will need a brush or a fine spatula for applying the adhesive, and a paperhanger's brush or damp sponge for smoothing and cleaning.
Can I use this to repair a small tear in the middle of a wall?
Yes, it is an excellent choice for re-fixing torn wallcoverings. Apply sparingly into the tear and smooth down.
How long does the adhesive take to dry?
While the high-grab formula holds quickly, allow for full curing as per standard wallpaper application times, usually overnight.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive is visible on the surface of the border
Immediately wipe with a clean, damp sponge before it dries.
Border edges are curling after application
Apply a small amount of extra adhesive under the edge and press down firmly with a paperhanger's brush until set.
Adhesive is too thick to spread evenly
Ensure the container is kept at room temperature; do not attempt to thin the adhesive with water as it may compromise the bond.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the adhesive, ensure that the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or loose debris. The adhesive is compatible with a wide range of interior surfaces, including vinyl wallpapers. To maintain the integrity of your finish, keep a damp sponge and a clean cloth nearby during application to immediately remove any adhesive that contacts the front of the wallpaper. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use to prevent the contents from drying out.
