Preparation for work
It is necessary to knead the glue before the work itself. Preparing such a solution is not difficult and fast if you know how to dilute wallpaper glue. In order to avoid mistakes, each package contains detailed instructions. The main thing is to stick to it very strictly and follow everything step by step in order to end up with high-quality glue with excellent properties.
In the instructions for preparing the adhesive mass, there are the following recommendations on how to dilute the wallpaper paste:
- Pour the right amount of water into the container. Its quantity depends on the amount of the desired final volume of the adhesive mass.
- Stirring the liquid with a drill with a mixer attachment, gradually pour glue into it.
- When the dry matter is completely introduced, you need to continue to mix it until a homogeneous mass without lumps comes out. In this case, it is necessary to scrapemixture from the walls of the container to ensure a homogeneous state of the substance.
- Several minutes (about 5) let the mass stand alone.
- Stir lightly again.
- When the composition acquires the desired density and viscosity, you can start working.
Workflow details
Trimming the wallpaper is also easy because the adhesive is quite slippery. One of the undoubted advantages of the material is its quick drying: it takes only a few hours for it to completely harden. Quelyd glue dries usually in 10-48 hours. It depends on the room temperature, humidity and absorbency level of the substrate. Most importantly, this time is enough to eliminate any shortcomings or mistakes made when applying wallpaper to the wall.
In order for the drying process to go as quickly as possible, it is desirable to provide in the room where the work was carried out, a temperature of + 10-25˚ C. Consumer reviews mention that the higher the temperature, the faster the process will end. After drying, the substance becomes moisture resistant, so it can be used when repairing rooms with high humidity. Moreover, during operation, the surface of the wallpaper can be washed with any detergent.
How to apply glue - everyone decides for himself, taking into account what is more convenient for him to work - with a roller or brush. The only thing to remember is the application feature: the glue is applied first to the center of the canvas, and then to its edges.
To stick 6 rolls of wallpaper, you only need to purchaseone pack of glue. But in order to use Quelyd glue, you need to prepare the base. To do this, remove the old coating, dilute bleach in water and wash the surface of the walls with this solution to remove any types of bactericidal organisms. After that, everything should be rinsed with clean warm water and allowed to dry well.
During operation and before the completion of the drying process of the adhesive material, all drafts must be eliminated.
