Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Before application, ensure all walls are smooth, clean, dry, and entirely free of dust, grease, or peeling paint. If the surface is porous, consider a primer for better results.
Application: Use a high-quality paste brush or medium-pile roller to apply an even coat to the wallpaper or the wall, depending on your wallpaper type.
Storage: Always reseal the container tightly after use to prevent the adhesive from drying out. Store the container in a cool, dry environment and ensure it is kept away from sub-zero temperatures, as frost can compromise the chemical stability of the formula.
