Instructions for use

How to breed and apply the product? Before work, you need to read the instructions for use.In general, the procedure for using this glue does not differ from that of other brands. First you need to prepare all the necessary materials. You will need a container of a sufficiently large size (7-10 liters) to make it easier to breed the powder. It is better to use a plastic bucket, an enameled basin, a pan. For stirring, take wooden sticks, wooden spatulas. The ideal option would be a construction mixer or drill with a special nozzle.

Surface preparation

Before applying glue, carefully prepare the walls. Of course, you should remove the old wallpaper, remove their remains until the base is completely cleansed. If there are cracks, they must be repaired with plaster. Further, the soil with deep penetration is applied to the walls. The more porous the surface, the more layers of soil will be required (for new walls - 1-2 layers, for old ones - 2-3). The manufacturer recommends the use of high quality primers, which seriously improve adhesion.

Solution preparation

To stick the wallpaper with high reliability, you must strictly observe the proportions of water and dry material. Most often, at home they use boxes with glue of 250 g each. Such a pack requires exactly 7 liters of water. It is permissible to take water at room temperature, but it is strictly forbidden to use hot (glue will be spoiled).

The procedure is as follows:

• open the package of glue;
• pour water into the container;
• carefully pour all the powder into the container (pour only at the edges of the bucket);
• mix the composition slowly, with a construction mixer, until the lumps disappear;
• leave the mass for 5 minutes;
• mix again, after which the composition is ready for use.

Typically, the mixture dissolves easily even without a mixer, individual flakes and lumps do not remain in literally a minute. Electrical appliances are used only to facilitate the process. In appearance the mass will be unclear, white. Do not worry - after drying, the glue will become completely transparent, it will be invisible.

Experienced craftsmen do not work according to the instructions. They spread glue, taking into account the characteristics of the walls and wallpaper. If the canvas is thick, embossed, the walls have roughness, the glue should be more thick. This will help to hide all existing defects, and the degree of fixation will be even higher. But too thick a composition is difficult to apply on the walls, it is poorly rubbed. The conclusion is that it is better for a layman to still use the recommendations of the instruction, and in the presence of complex surfaces, invite masters to work.

Glue application

You need to apply the product on the walls, but not on the wallpaper. For this purpose, a brush, roller. Usually, experts advise you to have both tools at hand and use depending on the location. Corners, joints, areas near the skirting boards are tinted with a brush, large areas are rolled with a roller. The glue layer should be uniform. Since glue for non-woven wallpaper does not include pigments, the uniformity of the layer will have to be monitored by eye. Beginners are advised to draw a wall with a pencil across the width of the roll, so you can avoid unplugged areas.

It’s easy to stick the wallpaper, the procedure is as follows:

1. Pasting should start from the window, moving 40 cm from the corner. It is advisable to draw a vertical line along a plumb line with a simple pencil.
2. Apply glue to the wall, combine with the first line the wallpaper strip. Professionals glue non-woven wallpaper without cutting - right from the roll.
3. Repeat the procedure for other bands, gently adjusting the joints without overlapping.
4. If necessary, the joints are smeared with a thin brush.
