FAQs
Can I use this for heavy embossed wallpaper?
Yes, but ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions for soaking time so the paper becomes supple before hanging.
Does this adhesive work on all wall surfaces?
It is suitable for most surfaces, but they must be clean, dry, and dust-free. Highly absorbent surfaces should be sized first.
How long do I need to let the mixture stand?
You should leave it to stand for 3 minutes after the initial 30-second stir before giving it a final thorough mix.
Is this adhesive suitable for high-mould areas?
You must treat the area with a Fungicidal Wash first and ensure it is dry before applying the wallpaper adhesive.
Can I store the mixed adhesive for later?
It is recommended to mix only what you need for the current project to ensure the best bonding performance.
Troubleshooting
Lumpy adhesive mixture
Ensure you are stirring briskly while adding the flakes to the water and allow the full 3-minute standing time before the final stir.
Paper edges peeling
Ensure enough adhesive was applied to the edges during the initial paste-up and verify that the surface was properly sized if highly absorbent.
Visible adhesive stains on paper
Use a clean, damp sponge to gently remove excess paste immediately. If the adhesive has already dried, dab lightly with a clean damp cloth, but avoid over-wetting the paper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the adhesive, start by adding the required volume of cold water into a clean bucket. Slowly sprinkle the sachet contents while stirring briskly for 30 seconds. Allow the mixture to stand for 3 minutes, then stir thoroughly once more to achieve the ideal consistency.
Before applying the paste to the wall, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. If the wall is highly absorbent, apply a sizing layer first and allow it to dry completely. For maintenance and care, ensure that the adhesive is stored in a cool, dry place when not in use. Always consult the wallpaper manufacturer's specific instructions regarding pasting, as different materials may have unique requirements for soaking and overlap.
