FAQs
Do I need to mix Bartoline Easipaste?
No, Bartoline Easipaste is a ready-mixed adhesive and requires no mixing or dilution. It's ready to use straight from the container.
Can I use this for 'paste the wall' wallpaper?
Yes, this adhesive is specifically formulated and suitable for 'paste the wall' wallpaper application, where the paste is applied directly to the wall.
How much area can 1kg of Easipaste cover?
1kg of Easipaste is generally 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's suitable for sound, dry, clean surfaces. Glossy surfaces should be sanded, and very porous surfaces like new plaster should be sealed first.
How do I clean up spills?
Wipe away any excess adhesive that comes into contact with the patterned side of the wallpaper immediately with a clean, damp cloth or sponge.
What is the shelf life of Easipaste?
Store in a cool, dry place and reseal the container tightly. While specific shelf life can vary, proper storage ensures longevity. It's best to use within a reasonable timeframe after opening.
Is this paste suitable for fabric-backed wallpaper?
Yes, this adhesive is designed for a wide range of wallcoverings, including heavy embossed and vinyl types, which often include fabric backing. Always check wallpaper manufacturer guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking or peeling at edges
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, sealed if necessary). Check that enough paste was applied evenly and that the wallpaper received adequate soaking time for heavy types.
Bubbles or wrinkles appearing under the wallpaper
Ensure the paste was spread evenly without gaps. Smooth out any trapped air with a brush or roller immediately after application.
Difficulty sliding wallpaper into position
Check if the paste has dried too quickly. Ensure even and generous application, especially on porous walls. For very heavy papers, a slightly longer soaking time might be needed.
Paste marks on the wallpaper pattern
Wipe away any excess paste from the patterned side immediately with a clean, damp cloth or sponge. Avoid excessive rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation:
Ensure all surfaces are sound, dry, clean, and free from dust, grease, or dampness. Gloss-painted surfaces should be lightly sanded to create a better grip. For very porous surfaces like new plaster, seal with a PVA or sizing solution before applying the adhesive. Always consult the wallpaper manufacturer's specific instructions.
Application:
To open the adhesive, break the seal and lift the lid.
- For traditional wallcoverings: Apply Bartoline Easipaste evenly using a brush or roller to the reverse side of the wallpaper. Avoid getting paste on the patterned front.
- For heavy or embossed wallcoverings: Allow the pasted paper to soak until it becomes supple, following the wallpaper manufacturer's recommendations.
- 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.
Immediately wipe away any adhesive that comes into contact with the patterned side of the wallpaper.
Compatibility:
This adhesive is compatible with all types of wallcoverings including vinyl, blown vinyl, heavy embossed, washable, and 'paste the wall' varieties.
Care:
Store in a cool, dry place. Reseal the container tightly after use. Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local regulations.
