Why Is The Wallpaper Transparent? How To Deal With It?

"How to deal with the penetration of glue in wall covering construction?" In fact, if the wall covering is slightly penetrated, the experienced master can handle it in time, but the penetration is more serious and it is basically difficult to deal with. We should learn how to avoid penetration, Afterwards, the remedy is already the next policy!

Causes and preventive measures of wall covering through glue

1. The wallpaper glue is too thin

If the glue is too thin (inferior glue may also cause penetration), the moisture in the glue will pass through the composite layer and appear on the surface of the wallpaper.

When we make the glue, the best condition should be: the glue can be attached to the roller and will not be lost quickly.

2. The glue brush is too thick

If the glue brush is too thick, too much glue will make the paving wallpaper appear uneven. At this time, the master will usually squeeze the glue to the edge for smoothing. In this process, the glue will be squeezed strongly. And through the wallpaper, resulting in an artificial overflow of glue.

Therefore, when brushing the glue, follow the thick glue thin coating technique, and the glue should not be too much or too thick!

3. Improper use of tools

Use a scraper instead of a soft brush-this is the culprit of most glue penetration problems. In actual construction, after the wallpaper is put on the wall, the glue cannot be completed in the theoretical state, and there will be more or less excess glue. At this time, when the wallpaper is squeezed vigorously with a scraper, glue penetration will occur.

In large-scale construction, it is best to use a short bristle brush after the wallpaper is on the wall! The contact surface between the brush and the wallpaper is large and soft, and will not squeeze the wallpaper vigorously. In addition, the brush will not leave scratches, snags, and other phenomena that damage the wall covering!

4. Hurry up / construction is not careful

When there are no problems with glue or tools, patience becomes especially important. When the glue has just been applied to the wall and the moisture is still too high, if the wallpaper is immediately pasted on the wall, then the silk wallpaper will have a problem of penetration. Generally, it is best to paste when the glue is half dry and half wet!

5. Improper handling of internal corners

When constructing in the inner corner area, it is best to use a small brush to remove some glue, leaving only a thin layer of glue, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of glue penetration in the inner corner.

Because during construction, most of the excess glue on the wall will be brushed to the inner corner, so there is no need for a lot of glue at the inner corner.

Treatment method for small area penetration

Once the glue is penetrated, the glue is easily diluted by water into the wallpaper fibers, so it is difficult to clean the glue marks. If it is a small area through the glue, it can be saved in time to deal with it:

1. Just after the wallpaper is pasted and before the glue marks are dry, do not wash it with water. Use a clean dry towel to absorb the moisture. Remember not to wipe it. The glue will spread. You can only suck it, so as not to expand the scope of pollution. The small area can be disposed of before washing.

2. If the glue marks are already dry, use a clean eraser or a clean white towel to erase them.

3. During the construction process, we must try to avoid the occurrence of glue leakage. If the glue leakage occurs accidentally, it should be disposed of in a small area in time.
