Why Do Wall Coverings Seep Into Glue? How To Deal With It?
Jun 24, 2020
Everyone wants a perfectly smooth wall surface. However, in the construction of wallpaper and wall coverings, the problem of glue penetration occurs from time to time, which affects the appearance of the wall surface. In severe cases, it is necessary to reapply the wall covering. So, what is the reason for the wall cloth infiltration and how to deal with it?
Penetration means that the wall covering glue penetrates the wall covering and forms plaques, etc., which affects the appearance of the wall surface. Generally formed by the following reasons:
1. Wall covering glue is too thin
The glue is too thin (inferior glue may also cause glue penetration), and the water in the glue will pass through the composite layer with part of the glue and appear on the surface of the wall cloth.
2. The glue brush is too thick
If the glue brush is too thick, too much glue will make the wall coverings appear uneven. At this time, the inexperienced construction master will generally squeeze the glue vigorously to the edge for smoothness. In this process, the glue Because it is strongly squeezed and penetrates the wall covering, it causes artificial infiltration.
3. Crush work, construction is not careful
When the problem of glue and tools does not exist, patience becomes particularly important. When the glue is just on the wall and the moisture is still too high, the inexperienced construction master will choose to stick the wall covering to the wall immediately. At this time, some wall coverings will have glue leakage problems. Many of the masters are communicating with the wall covering. It is agreed that the glue is best when it is half dry and half wet!
4. Improper handling of female corners
When constructing in the inside corner area, it is best to use a small brush to remove some glue first, leaving only a thin layer of glue, which can effectively prevent the inside corner from seeping glue.
5. Humid and dusty environment
The wall cloth has serious glue penetration, and the environment is relatively wet and dusty. Once the glue is infiltrated, the glue is easily diluted by water and enters the non-woven fiber filament, so it is difficult to clean the glue marks. During the construction process, it is necessary to avoid the occurrence of glue penetration as much as possible. If the glue is accidentally infiltrated, it should be dealt with in a small area in a timely manner.
Treatment method of small-scale infiltration
1. Just past the wall cloth, if there is glue leakage, you can use a high-pressure cleaning water gun to clean it in time, pay attention to adjust and control the pressure when using, and pay attention to the angle of the water gun. After cleaning, use a hair dryer to dry the surface of the wall cloth in time.
2. If it is a small amount of glue, you can use a harder brush to remove the colloidal substance along the cloth after the glue is completely dry, and then use a softer brush to clean the wall cloth surface.
3. If the wall cloth has been wiped with sponge, detergent, or iron, it is generally more difficult to clean. This method is not recommended.
4. At present, the wall cloth glue mark cleaning technology is continuously updated and developed. In further research and development, if you are interested, you can contact Jialifeng College (technical telephone 86-0570-86905211) in order to timely understand and master the latest technology. When the infiltrated area is too large to be removed, the wall covering construction can only be carried out again.
The problem of glue penetration should be prevented in the early stage of construction. Thin coating of thick glue is an effective method to prevent the glue penetration of wall cloth. When preparing glue, the ratio of water and glue should be appropriate. The wall on the glue water should not be excessive. In particular, attention should be paid to the corners. Work slowly and carefully, and the construction should not be too rash.
