Preparations before pasting wallpaper

Before applying adhesive on all types of wallpaper, it is necessary to prepare the surface properly:

1. remove the old coating (if the wall is painted, use a brush with metal bristles to peel it off);
2. remove any defects – level out and smooth the walls, seal the cracks with putty;
3. thoroughly clean and dry the surface of the wall;
4. make a primer – to do this, prepare a solution of adhesive and water in a 1:2 ratio (mind to add water to the adhesive, not vice versa, and pour it gradually while mixing the composition up all the way).

Keep in mind that environmental conditions significantly affect the time required for the wallpaper adhesive to harden, and its properties. The room temperature should be in the range from +10 to +30°C, and the humidity should not exceed 70%.

Specific aspects of pasting non-woven wallpaper, fiberglass surface tissue mats and fiberglass

If your opt for these finishing materials, the wallpaper adhesive, which you can buy on our website, should be applied not on the wallpaper strip, but directly on the surface of the wall or ceiling.

After you have prepared the surface, mix up the adhesive in the container and apply it to the surface in a dense even layer. For this purpose it is advisable to use a notched trowel or a regular roller. Then take the strip of your finishing material, attach it to the wall and smooth it out towards the edges, starting from the middle. If there are some bumps, you may remove the material, repeatedly apply the adhesive and press the strip to the surface once again – you have about 20 minutes to adjust it.

It takes 24 hours for the adhesive to dry up completely, and during this time it is advisable to ensure that the wallpaper is protected from ultraviolet light and draughts. After that, you can start painting or do whatever you have planned in your renovation.

You may use our Lux adhesive not only for pasting new wallpaper, but also for pasting up unstuck old wallpaper pieces. For minor repairs, a container of 1 kg would be enough.

How to use the adhesive for pasting textile or vinyl wallpaper?

Brief instructions:

• dilute the adhesive with water by 10% and mix thoroughly (this is just a recommendation, you may not dilute the adhesive at all);
• prepare the strips of required length and apply the adhesive, using a roller;
• let the adhesive soak in the finishing material for about 5 minutes.

The next steps hinge directly on the type of coating your have chosen, so please carefully read the instructions before pasting the wallpaper.

How to order high-quality wallpaper adhesive?

First tip: always take into account what type of coating the adhesive is intended for. If you choose the inappropriate composition, it will not work with your wallpaper, and you will have to redo your renovation. For example, fiberglass requires very high level of adhesion, so such an adhesive should contain about 15% polymer. Multi-purpose ready-made wallpaper adhesive is able to solve the problem, as it provides excellent durability regardless of the type of coating. Besides, you should take into account the physical and technical properties of our products, and they are as follows:

• viscosity is 180-200 Pa•s ;
• pH is 6±1;
• dry residue is 14% (error rate ± 2%);
• the time of primary drying makes up 3 hours, full drying up takes up a day;
• consumption is 180-250 g/sq.m;
• shelf life is 2 years provided it is stored in a tightly closed and sealed container at a temperature of +5 to +30°C.
