Application

PREPARATION

Preparation should be in accordance with building standards. Walls must be sound, even, smooth, permanently dry and free from dust, grease or other contaminants, and have normal porosity.

Painted surfaces

Scrape off any flaking paint and smooth the surface with a sanding block. Glossy and semi-gloss paint as well as enamaled surfaces should be sanded to bring porosity to the substrate. Eliminate sanding dust. Rinse thouroughly.

Old wallpapers and wallcoverings

Remove old wallpaper and colour wash using DISSOUCOL Wallpaper Remover. Rinse thoroughly to get substrate perfectly clean.

To better clean the walls rinse them with bleach and water solution.

Highly porous substrates should be primed with diluted wallpaper paste (SPECIAL VINYL).

ADHESIVE PREPARATION

Pour the required quantity of clean water into the bucket depending on the type of wallpaper.

Wallcovering type	Cold water mix (litres)	Number of rolls	Coverage (sq.meters)
Primer	5	-	45-55
All types of wallcoverings	4-4.5	5-6	25-30

Stir the water rapidly with a stick. Sprinkle the contents of one packet into water, mixing briskly for approximately 30 seconds. Leave for 15 minutes and stir thoroughly again. The adhesive is ready.

PASTING WALLPAPER

Carefully measure the hight of the wall, and add 5cm top and bottom for final trimming. Apply the adhesive generously in a regular manner on the back of the wallpaper from center to the edges. Apply plenty to the edges. Fold the strip (or "book") pasted side to pasted side, i.e. bring both edges toward the middle. Make sure that the edges are lined up to avoid early drying of the adhesive.

Curling wallcoverings must be rolled up in order to flatten them.

Observe a booking time of 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the wallpaper and the manufacturer's instructions. Always observe the same booking time throughout hanging operation.

HANGING WALLPAPER

Use a plumb line to make sure the first strip is perfectly straight. Hang the first strip. Gently slide the paper until the outer edge is lined up with the starting line. Hang subsequent strips edge to edge or according to the manufacturer's recommendations and in the predefined order.

Using a wallpaper brush, carefully press the wallpaper from the top downwards and from the centre toward the edges, taking care to roll out air bubbles and spread out any uneven patches of paste.

Flatten the joints according to manufacturer’s instructions. Excess lengths near the ceiling and skirting board will be trimmed using a cutting blade, guided by a broad knife.

Immediately wipe off accidental splashes with a clean damp sponge.

REMARKS

- Carefully read the hanging instructions and strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations

- Do not start hanging wallcoverings from an outside corner

- Not suitable for use with a pasting machine

Cleaning

Tools can be easily cleaned with warm water.
