FAQs
Do I need to mix Bartoline Easipaste?
No, Bartoline Easipaste is a ready-mixed adhesive. No mixing or dilution is required, making it ready to use straight from the container.
Can I use this for 'paste-the-wall' wallpapers?
Yes, Bartoline Easipaste is specifically designed to be suitable for 'paste-the-wall' wallcoverings. You apply the adhesive directly to the wall.
How much area does 1kg of Easipaste cover?
1kg of Easipaste is sufficient to hang approximately one 10-meter roll of standard wallcovering, or half a roll of embossed or heavy embossed wallcovering.
What kind of surfaces is this adhesive suitable for?
It is suitable for sound, dry, and clean surfaces. Glossy surfaces need sanding, and very porous surfaces like new plaster should be sealed first.
What should I do if I get paste on the front of my wallpaper?
You should immediately remove any paste that comes into contact with the patterned side of the wallcovering using a damp cloth.
How long can I store opened adhesive?
Store any unused adhesive in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to maintain its consistency and effectiveness for future use.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking firmly.
Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, sealed if necessary) and that sufficient adhesive was applied evenly. For heavy papers, ensure adequate soaking time was allowed.
Difficulty aligning wallpaper seams.
While Easipaste has good slide properties, avoid over-working the paper. Ensure the wall is fully pasted within the area of the next strip when using 'paste-the-wall' method. Clean excess paste from seams promptly.
Paste marks on wallpaper pattern.
Use a clean, damp sponge or cloth to gently wipe the patterned side immediately after paste contact. Avoid aggressive rubbing.
Adhesive seems too thick or too thin.
This product is ready-mixed and designed for consistent viscosity. If it appears significantly off, check storage conditions. It should be smooth and spreadable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, dry, clean, and free from dust, grease, or dampness. Gloss-painted surfaces should be sanded to create a key for the adhesive. For very porous surfaces like new plaster, apply a sealant (like PVA or size) first to prevent excessive absorption.
Compatibility: This adhesive is suitable for all types of wallcoverings, including vinyl, blown vinyl, heavy embossed, washable, and 'paste-the-wall' varieties.
Application: Open the container by breaking the seal and lifting the lid. Always consult the wallpaper manufacturer's specific instructions.
- For traditional wallcoverings: Apply Easipaste evenly to the reverse of the wallpaper using a brush or roller. Avoid getting paste on the patterned side. Allow heavy coverings to soak until supple.
- For 'paste-the-wall' wallcoverings: Apply Easipaste evenly and generously directly onto the wall surface. Ensure the pasted area is slightly wider than the wallpaper strip.
Care: Immediately clean any adhesive that comes into contact with the patterned side of the wallpaper using a damp cloth. Store any unused adhesive in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed.
