FAQs
How long does the adhesive take to dry?
Drying time depends on the room conditions and the type of wallpaper, but generally, it takes 12-24 hours to dry completely.
Can I use this adhesive on painted walls?
Yes, but it's important to ensure the paint is well-bonded to the wall surface and free from any loose or flaking paint. The surface needs to be slightly porous to provide a good key for the adhesive.
What is the shelf life of Bartoline All Purpose Wallpaper Adhesive?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the production date if stored in a cool, dry place.
How do I remove old wallpaper?
Soak the wallpaper with warm water mixed with wallpaper stripper, allow it to penetrate, and then scrape it off with a scraper. Follow the wallpaper's removal instructions if available.
What should I do if the adhesive gets on my skin?
Wash the affected area with soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a doctor.
Can I use this adhesive in humid environments?
Yes, but ensure the room is well-ventilated during and after wallpapering to prevent moisture buildup and mold growth.
How much adhesive do I need?
Coverage varies based on the type of wallpaper and wall surface. Follow the instructions on the packaging to determine the correct amount.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from dust). Make sure the adhesive is mixed correctly and applied evenly to the wallpaper. Check the expiry date of the adhesive.
Wallpaper bubbles are appearing after application.
Smooth out air bubbles carefully with a wallpaper smoother or brush during application. Ensure the wallpaper is not stretched during application.
Adhesive is too thick or too thin.
Follow the mixing instructions precisely, using the correct water-to-adhesive ratio as indicated on the packaging. Adjust the water amount slightly if needed.
