FAQs

Can this adhesive be used on all types of wallpaper?

It is specifically formulated for decorative borders and for repairing torn wallcoverings, and is compatible with vinyl surfaces. For other wallpaper types, test in an inconspicuous area first.

How much adhesive do I need for a 10m border?

Allow approximately 250g of adhesive for a border of 10m x 13cm. This can vary based on application thickness and surface porosity.

What is the best way to clean up excess adhesive?

Use a clean, damp sponge to gently wipe away any excess adhesive from the wallcovering surface. Clean tools with water immediately after use.

Can I use this adhesive for full wallpaper application?

This product is designed for borders and repairs. For full wallpaper application, a dedicated wallpaper paste is generally recommended.

Is this adhesive suitable for exterior use?

No, this adhesive is specially formulated for interior surfaces only.

What should I do if the border keeps coming unstuck?

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply the adhesive evenly, paying attention to the edges. Press firmly and smooth out any air bubbles.

Troubleshooting

Border is not sticking securely.

Ensure adhesive is applied evenly and to the edges. Check that the surface is clean and dry. Reapply adhesive and smooth firmly.

Adhesive is visible on the wallcovering surface.

Use a clean damp sponge to gently wipe away excess adhesive immediately after application. Avoid rubbing too hard.

Adhesive seems too thick or difficult to spread.

Ensure you are using a suitable brush or spatula. For very dry conditions, a slightly more damp sponge may help when smoothing, but do not oversaturate.

Repaired tear is still visible.

Ensure adhesive was applied thinly and evenly under the torn edge. For significant tears, professional repair may be needed.
