Preparing to wallpaper wallpaper
Depending on the selected material, the algorithm of the work can be different. The process of gluing the walls with wallpaper is considered using the example of a non-woven base.
- For this finishing material you will need a special glue. 5 liters of the mixture on average is enough for 35-40 m & sup2. Observe the proportions indicated on the box. So, in this case, the glue pack requires 5 liters of water. In the water slowly pour the powder, while stir the composition in a circular motion during the introduction of the adhesive itself and a few minutes after. After 10 minutes, mix the mixture again.
