Troubleshooting
Wallpaper not sticking firmly
Ensure the wall surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from grease). Re-apply paste to the wallcovering or wall, ensuring full coverage. For very porous surfaces, check if sealing was adequate.
Difficulty positioning wallpaper
Easipaste has easy slide properties, but excessive sliding may indicate too much paste or an improperly prepared surface. Wipe away excess paste and re-apply carefully.
Paste marks on the wallpaper pattern
Immediately wipe the patterned side with a clean, damp sponge or cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the paste.
Adhesive drying too quickly
Ensure the room is not excessively warm or draughty. For traditional papers, ensure they are not left too long before hanging, leading to premature drying on the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
Ensure surfaces are sound, dry, clean, and free from dust, grease, or dampness.
For gloss-painted surfaces, lightly sand to create a key for the adhesive.
For very porous surfaces like new plaster, seal with a PVA solution or decorator's size before applying paste.
Application:
Traditional Wallcoverings: Apply Easipaste evenly to the reverse of the wallpaper using a brush or roller. Avoid applying paste to the patterned side. For heavier papers, allow a brief soaking period until the paper becomes supple.
'Paste the Wall' Wallcoverings: Apply Easipaste evenly and generously directly onto the wall surface. Ensure the pasted area is slightly wider than the wallpaper strip.
Care:
Immediately remove any adhesive that comes into contact with the patterned side of the wallpaper using a clean, damp cloth or sponge.
Store the adhesive in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
