How to choose glue for non-woven wallpaper

1. Glue base. First, you should read on the pack on what basis the product is made. Modern formulations are made on the basis of methylcellulose. But the presence of modified starch in the composition should be a serious reason for refusing to purchase.
2. To simplify and speed up finishing work, applying glue to the base, and not to the wallpaper, allows. This technology is best used for joining adjacent strips.
3. You should not immediately start gluing wallpaper without looking back. After a trial application of the solution to the wall or ceiling, the adhesive must be allowed to dry. If the product does not turn yellow, then there are no restrictions on use.
4. Also, do not apply glue over a large area, during operation, an unexpected stop may occur. Because of this, the base will have to be re-processed, which will lead to increased material consumption.
