How long do I need to let the paste stand after mixing?
You should let the mixture stand for 3 minutes before giving it a final thorough stir.
What should I do if I get paste on the patterned side of the paper?
Immediately wipe it off gently using a clean, damp sponge.
Do I need warm water to mix the flakes?

Is surface preparation necessary?

Troubleshooting
Lumpy adhesive mixture
Ensure you sprinkle the flakes slowly into the water while stirring briskly, rather than dumping them all at once.
Paper edges peeling
Ensure you applied a generous amount of paste to the edges and verify that the wall surface was correctly sized or primed.
Paste drying too quickly
Avoid overspreading the paste; apply it evenly and immediately place the paper to take advantage of the wet time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper preparation is the foundation of a successful wallpaper installation. Before beginning, ensure all wall surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust. If the wall is absorbent, apply a 'size' treatment and allow it to dry completely. For areas prone to moisture, treat surfaces with a Fungicidal Wash first.
To mix, add the correct volume of cold water to a clean bucket based on the manufacturer’s ratio. Sprinkle the flakes into the water while stirring briskly for 30 seconds. Allow the mixture to stand for 3 minutes, then stir thoroughly once more before application. Always store the adhesive in a cool, dry place and ensure the sachet is sealed if not using the entire contents at once.
