- Divide glue in water temperature. Do not allow the formation of lumps.
- Make sure that the paper wallpaper is not very splashing. When drying, the wallpaper strip will take its own former sizes and seams on the wallpaper will disperse.
- When sticking with paper-based wallpapers, glue is applied to the wallpaper canvas. Apply the adhesive more convenient to a wide brush from natural bristles.
- When placing the room with wallpaper on a fliesline basis or glass glue, the glue is applied only on the wall or on the ceiling. Very often, bubbles appear on phlizelin wallpaper, wallpapers are unevenly impregnated with glue. This happens because the walls quickly absorb glue, and the impregnation of the wallpaper of glue is practically not left. To avoid this, drive the walls with liquid glue, let me dry. For sticking wallpaper glue divide according to the proportions specified on the package.
- Divorced glue can be used within 10 days if you put it in a cool place and close tightly. Do not leave a brush from natural bristles in a broken glue - glue will have an unpleasant smell and it will quickly deteriorate.
