Glue for paper wallpaper - which is better? General recommendations

In Soviet times, there was no time for glue. The main thing is to “get” the materials, and the paste can be cooked independently for joy. To date, the situation is fundamentally different. Hardware stores offer an extensive selection of adhesive products. At the same time, the question of which glue is better to glue the wallpaper plunges into a stupor, since the choice is really huge.

There are such types of products:

• Universal product (applicable to all varieties of trellis).
• For non-woven.
• For vinyl
• For textile materials.
• Specialized adhesive for joint processing.

You need to choose a specific type of glue, depending on the type of wallpaper used.

Important! The optimal type of glue is one that is designed specifically for this type of wallpaper. Of course, paper sticks well to “vinyl” glue, but during the next repair, dismantling the wall covering will turn into a real problem.

Can be used for wallpaper mounting non-woven glue. Of course, provided that the trellises are not thin and cheap, but from a two-layer foam material.

Important! It is desirable to lubricate a thin web with a cooled adhesive, foam and a two-layer material - warm. The exposure time of strips smeared with sticky mass should be the same so that the paper does not tear and does not stretch.
