FAQs

How much adhesive do I need?

Coverage depends on the surface and wallpaper type. Refer to the adhesive container for specific coverage details based on the wallpaper type and surface conditions.

Can I use this adhesive on painted walls?

Yes, but ensure the painted surface is clean and in good condition. Lightly sand glossy painted surfaces for better adhesion.

How long does it take for the adhesive to dry?

Drying time varies, but generally, allow 24-48 hours for complete drying and bonding.

How do I clean up spills?

Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid letting the adhesive dry, as it becomes more difficult to remove.

Can I use this adhesive on textured wallpaper?

While the adhesive works on various wallpapers, extremely heavy or textured wallpapers might require a specialized adhesive. Check the wallpaper manufacturer's recommendations.

What is the shelf life of the adhesive?

Unopened containers can last for up to 12 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place. Always check the expiration date on the container.

What tools do I need for wallpapering?

You'll need a wallpaper brush or roller, a measuring tape, a utility knife or scissors, a smoothing tool, and a bucket for the adhesive.

What if the wallpaper edges are lifting?

Apply a small amount of adhesive under the lifting edges and press firmly. Use a smoothing tool to ensure it adheres properly. Clean up any excess adhesive immediately.

Troubleshooting

Wallpaper not sticking properly.

Ensure the wall surface is properly prepared (clean, dry, and smooth). Apply a sufficient amount of adhesive and allow the adhesive to set according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Bubbles or air pockets under the wallpaper.

Use a smoothing tool to gently push the air bubbles towards the edges of the wallpaper. Ensure the wallpaper is applied smoothly without trapping air.

Adhesive drying too quickly.

Work in small sections, avoiding direct sunlight or drafts that can accelerate drying. If necessary, lightly mist the wall with water before applying the wallpaper to extend the working time.
