Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking or peeling at edges
Ensure the wallpaper is sufficiently soaked in paste and that edges are adequately pasted. Check if the surface is properly prepared and not too absorbent. If the surface is very absorbent, it may need sealing first.
Bubbles or creases in wallpaper
Apply the paste evenly and ensure the wallpaper is well-soaked. Use a smoothing tool or seam roller to push out air bubbles from the centre to the edges during application.
Difficulty matching patterns
The 'easy slide' formula is designed for this. Apply paste generously and use the adjustability to align patterns before smoothing. Avoid letting the paste dry too quickly.
Paste lumps or uneven consistency
Ensure you are stirring briskly for the recommended time (20 seconds) when mixing and that the water quantity is correct. Stir again after the 2-minute standing period.
