FAQs
Can I use this for 'paste the wall' products?
Yes, this adhesive is specifically formulated to be suitable for 'paste the wall' wallcoverings.
How many rolls will this 5kg tub cover?
It covers approximately five standard 10-metre rolls or 2 to 3 rolls of heavy embossed wallcovering.
Do I need to dilute this with water?
No, it is a ready-mixed formula and should be used exactly as it comes out of the tub.
Can I use this on a newly plastered wall?
Yes, but you must seal the surface with a PVA or Size first because new plaster is highly porous.
How should I store the leftover adhesive?
Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is securely closed. Protect from frost and use within one month.
What should I do if I get adhesive on the front of the wallpaper?
Wipe it off immediately using a clean, damp cloth or sponge before it has a chance to dry.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive drying too quickly on the wall
The surface is likely too porous; ensure you have primed new plaster with a suitable size or PVA before application.
Adhesive is difficult to clean off tools
Clean tools immediately after use with water; if it has partially hardened, soak tools in warm water to soften the residue.
Wallpaper peeling at the edges
Ensure the wall was cleaned of all dust, grease, and loose debris before application; if necessary, apply a small amount of extra adhesive to the edge and smooth firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation is essential for a lasting finish. If applying to gloss-painted walls, ensure you sand the surface first to create a mechanical key for the adhesive to grip. For highly porous surfaces, such as newly installed plaster, prime the wall with a suitable PVA or Size first to prevent the adhesive from drying out too quickly. After application, clean any tools used with warm water immediately, as the adhesive becomes difficult to remove once it fully cures. Always store the tub in a cool, dry environment, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
