How To Use Wallpaper Glue?

1. It depends on the material of the wallpaper glue. If it is starch glue (that is, a box of starch and a jar of glue), you need to dissolve the starch first when adjusting it correctly. If it is dynamic, it is best to use warm water first, and the temperature should not be too high to dissolve. After stirring evenly, add the glue, and continue to stir evenly; when the starch is dissolved, add starch to the water while stirring, being careful not to agglomerate the starch so as not to affect the paving effect;

2. One type of wallpaper glue is Japanese glue. It will not work well in a low-temperature environment. If the water temperature is low, the wallpaper glue will be unevenly stirred, and there will be agglomeration inside, which will affect the construction and paving effect. It will be better if it is used with warm water. , But note that the temperature is too high will change the properties of the glue, cold water is not conducive to dilution, the problem needs to be controlled.


3. Add 0.6-1.5 liters of clean water for each liter of the base film to dilute, and start construction after fully mixing (the dilution ratio is related to the water absorption of the wall and the air temperature if the wall is very dry or the construction is carried out in the autumn and winter dry seasons, dilute The ratio should be 1:1.5);


4. For those who do not use the wallpaper gluing machine for ordinary wallpaper, when choosing manual construction, pay attention to the bottom-up construction. The number of times is determined by the density of the pores on the wall in different places, usually, 1-2 times of roller coating; The dry-out time varies depending on the temperature and humidity of the construction environment in different places, ranging from about 30 minutes to 2 hours; the construction area is about 15-25 square meters per liter, depending on the density of wall pores and wall water absorption. It depends; it is suitable for storage in a dry and ventilated environment with a temperature above 5°C.


Precautions for wallpaper glue construction:

1. Soak the roller for brushing glue in the prepared glue for 30 seconds. When brushing, the roller should roll in the same direction, and the roller and the wallpaper should roll gently at 45 degrees. You can't roll back and forth, which can easily create the wallpaper. When brushing, the action should be steady and the strength should be even. Hold the roller in one hand and fix it in the place where no glue has been brushed with the other hand; so as to prevent the wallpaper from rolling up. After finishing everything, use a small brush to paint the edges of the wallpaper with special glue (the ratio of wallpaper powder to white glue is 1:1).


2. After the wallpaper is glued and pasted on the wall, it must be flattened to get rid of air bubbles. Generally, rubber-surfaced wallpaper is more resistant to washing, so you can use a "plastic scraper" to gently scrape the surface and drive out bubbles. If a small amount of glue is removed from the surface, wipe it off with a wet sponge immediately. The scraper should not be too hard, otherwise, it will be easy to scrape. Damage to the surface causes the printing fading, light reflection, obvious seams and other shortcomings. The surface of high-grade textile wall covering is vulnerable to damage. Just brush it gently with a short-bristled brush, and apply an appropriate amount of glue. Never push the glue out of the seams to contaminate the surface, otherwise, it cannot be processed. The paper wallpaper is very delicate and can only be used with a short-bristled brush. The glue should not be stained on the surface. If it accidentally touches the surface, wipe it off immediately, otherwise, the glue cannot be removed after it dries, and it will cause chromatic aberration. When constructing any wallpaper, the glue should not stick to the surface of the wallpaper, it is the most perfect construction process.
