Pasting walls with photo wallpaper. When gluing photo wallpaper, there is a certain instruction that helps you do everything right and achieve an excellent result. First of all, it is necessary to prepare the materials at hand that are necessary for this work:

1. A bucket that you need to mix the glue.

2. Non-synthetic photo wallpaper glue bag. It is best to choose a natural-based adhesive.

3. A brush, which is needed to apply the glue.

4. Roll for smoothing the wallpaper.

5. A utility knife for neatly trimming the edges of the wallpaper.

6. Tape measure for wall measurement.

7. Level.

8. Spatula.

9. Pencil.

Before you start wallpapering the walls, you should make sure that the surface of the wall is flat, smooth, clean and ready for work, see how to prepare the walls for wallpapering. Do not forget that the wall must be absolutely dry - this is very important. There should be no old wallpaper and unevenness on your wall. If they exist, then you should get rid of them with a spatula. An equally important factor is that the temperature of the room where you are going to glue the wallpaper must be at least twenty degrees. Remember that you must completely eliminate drafts, otherwise you risk getting a far from ideal result of your work, since the wallpaper may not dry evenly, wrinkle and stretch in some places.

Move on. Spread the picture panels on the floor to see the entire picture. Now you should compare the dimensions of the resulting picture with the dimensions of your wall. Next, using a pencil and a level, mark the wall for each part of the drawing, so you can achieve the best result and image correctness. Moreover, it will be easier for you to glue the panels. Now the walls are being pasted with photo wallpaper.

Now you can stir the glue according to the instructions on the package and apply it with a brush to the first panel. If your wall surface is not smooth, but more porous, then you may need to apply several coats of adhesive. Next, exactly along the outlined lines, attach the first panel to the wall, and, using a roller, glue it, carefully smoothing it. Smooth the panel from the center to the edges. Do the exact same work with the second, third and fourth panels.

Starting to glue the fifth panel, you should pay close attention to ensuring that the picture matches. To do this, you need to lightly superimpose the fifth panel on the number one panel (this is about five millimeters). Consequently, panel six, seven and eight must be superimposed on subsequent panels so that the resulting pattern completely matches and matches the intended result. It is necessary to thoroughly wipe off all adhered glue on the front side of the photo wallpaper with a dry and clean cloth. If it becomes necessary to trim the edges of the wallpaper, this should be done only after the glue and wallpaper are completely dry. To do this, you should use a stationery knife prepared in advance.

Tips on how to stick the wallpaper on the wall correctly:

Before you start applying the wallpaper panels to the wall, it should be treated with glue. After you have applied the glue to the surface, you need to wait a little until the glue is partially dry. This is necessary so that all unnecessary moisture is absorbed, but the wall remains sticky. The photowall-paper panel must be neatly placed on the wall, which is smeared with glue, and make sure that part of the photowall-paper coincides with the line drawn in advance. A very important tip is to press the wallpaper from the center and evenly smooth it with a roller to the edges. Each next part of the photo wallpaper must be glued either exactly butt or overlapped, that is, adhere to the instructions of the wallpaper that you have chosen for yourself - this will help to achieve the perfect result upon completion of the work. Don't worry too muchif you suddenly see small bubbles on the surface, they will surely go away after the glue dries, modern wallpaper is not picky if you adhere to the pasting technology.

Wallpaper drying time:

The drying time of glue and photo wallpaper depends very much on the humidity of the air and the temperature of the room where this work takes place. If normal conditions prevail in the room, then the adhesive layer can dry in just three and a half hours. But it must be remembered that after applying the glue layer to the wall, the installation of the photo wallpaper should be done no more than three and a half hours later.

But after applying the glue, the wallpaper and the wall should dry for at least one hour. The use of infrared rays or hot air can significantly reduce the drying time, but not more than sixty degrees.

Cleaning the surface of the photo wallpaper after sticking to the wall:

In order to remove the liquid glue that remained on the front side of the photo wallpaper and at the joints after gluing them to the wall, you must use water or soapy water. If the glue is already dry, then you should resort to using ethyl alcohol or acetone. But it is very important to do it carefully, as these substances can damage the surface of the photo wallpaper.
