The answer to the question of how to properly prepare wallpaper glue can usually be found on its packaging.
The manufacturer always provides recommendations for preparing the adhesive solution, as well as the proportions for mixing the dry composition with water.
If for some reason you cannot use the instructions printed on the packaging, use the cheat sheet from the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino .
The plan of action, which is suitable for glue intended for any type of wallpaper, is as follows.
1. To prepare the adhesive, you will need a free and deep enough container, such as a bucket or basin. It is important that this container is clean and dry.
2. The required amount of water is poured into the prepared container. The amount of water is determined depending on the type of glue and the proportions indicated on the package.
3. Gradually, starting from the edge of the container, pour the dry adhesive mixture into the water. During this process, the mixture must be continuously stirred to avoid the formation of lumps.
4. After all the dry mixture has been added to the water, the resulting solution should be thoroughly mixed for another 5-10 minutes to completely dissolve all the glue particles. This will ensure an even application of glue to the wallpaper and improve its adhesion to the wall surface.
