  • Instructions on the packaging should be carefullystudied. This step is very important. It is especially important to correctly observe the proportions: the rules for breeding a dry mixture must also be known. And the proportions can be significantly different, taking into account different types of work and paintings.
  • It is necessary to take a convenient bucket, pourthere is warm water, then gently pour out the dry mixture or granules depending on what was chosen. It is very important not to forget that it is the powder and granules that must be added to the water, and not vice versa. Otherwise, the result will satisfy you.
  • The resulting adhesive must be mixed thoroughly with a longstick (you can use a blade for this). Stirring should be intense so that no lumps remain. The adhesive mixture must be uniform.
  • It happens that the resulting mixture turns out to betoo thick, but you can deal with this problem without much difficulty. You just need to add a certain amount of warm water there, after which everything is diluted to the normal state, which is provided in the instructions. It is very important not to overdo it, since if the glue is too liquid, it will no longer be possible to bring it to the required density. If the mixture is liquid, then it can be effectively used for priming the walls of the room. After the preparation of the adhesive mass is complete, you need to give it time to swell properly. The time for this is indicated on the packaging. This factor is very important, since for each specific composition such time is strictly individual. If everything is done correctly, then after all these manipulations you can start gluing the wallpaper. However, before this, the walls must be prepared.
