Product Information
Full details
This Solvite Paste The Wall Adhesive is designed for DIY decorators and professionals looking for a fast, mess-free way to hang paste-the-wall and non-woven wallpapers. Its key benefit is the rapid mixing and application, saving significant time on decorating projects. A potential caveat is that it's specifically formulated for paste-the-wall types and may not be suitable for all traditional wallpapers. The adhesive offers a strong, reliable hold that dries clear and allows for easy repositioning and future dry-stripping.

FAQs
How long does the paste take to be ready?
The paste is ready to use in under 2 minutes after a quick 20-second mix.
Can I use this for traditional wallpaper?
This adhesive is specifically designed for paste-the-wall and non-woven wallpapers. It is generally not recommended for traditional wallpapers that require pasting on the reverse side.
How many rolls can one sachet hang?
Each sachet is extra strong and can hang up to 5 rolls of wallpaper.
Does the paste leave any residue?
No, the adhesive dries clear, ensuring it does not affect the appearance of the wallpaper.
What is the benefit of 'dry strip removal'?
Dry strip removal means that when you want to redecorate, the wallpaper should peel off the wall in dry sheets without excessive scraping or damage to the wall surface.
How should I store any leftover paste?
Store any unused paste in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. It should be used within 24 hours.
Is this product suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it provides a strong hold, always ensure the wallpaper itself is rated for high-humidity areas and follow manufacturer guidelines for specific room applications.
Troubleshooting
Paste is too thin or too thick.
Ensure you have used the correct water-to-powder ratio as specified on the sachet. Stir thoroughly for the recommended time.
Wallpaper is not sticking well.
Verify that the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Ensure even application of paste. For very porous surfaces, a primer might be needed.
Difficulty repositioning wallpaper.
Repositioning is easiest immediately after application. If the paste has started to set, you may need to apply a little more moisture to the area to aid adjustment.
Paste is not mixing smoothly.
Ensure you are using a clean bucket and stirring vigorously. Small lumps can sometimes be stirred out, but avoid over-mixing once fully incorporated.
