FAQs
Can I use this paste for standard vinyl wallpaper?
This paste is specifically formulated for renovation fleece, fibreglass, and woodchip wallpapers with fleece backing. For vinyl wallpapers, it is best to consult the wallpaper manufacturer's instructions or use a specialized vinyl wallpaper paste.
How long does the paste take to become ready to use?
The Metylan Wallpaper Paste & Primer is designed to be ready to use quickly after opening. Minimal stirring may be required.
What is the coverage of one pack?
One 500g pack is sufficient for up to 22m², which typically covers about 5 rolls of standard wallpaper.
Is the paste suitable for very damp areas like a shower room?
The paste has high wet strength and is suitable for use in rooms like bathrooms, basements, and kitchens. However, it is not a waterproof adhesive and should not be used in direct contact with water, such as inside a shower cubicle.
Can I paint over the wallpaper after using this paste?
Yes, the paste dries transparent and provides a suitable surface for painting once the wallpaper is securely adhered and dry, provided the wallpaper itself is paintable.
How should I store leftover paste?
Store any leftover paste in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place to maintain its consistency and usability for future projects.
Does the integrated primer eliminate the need for a separate primer?
For the recommended wallpaper types (renovation fleece, fibreglass, woodchip with fleece backing), the integrated primer is designed to regulate absorbency and prepare the surface effectively, often eliminating the need for a separate primer. However, for highly porous or uneven surfaces, a separate primer might still be beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Wallpaper is not sticking well or is peeling at the edges.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of dust or grease. Check if the paste was applied evenly and sufficiently. For very porous walls, an additional primer coat might be needed before applying the paste.
Bubbles or ```````````blisters under the wallpaper.
This can happen if paste is not spread evenly or if air pockets are trapped. Try to smooth out bubbles immediately after application by rolling from the center outwards. Ensure the paste is worked thoroughly into the wallpaper backing.
Paste is too thick or too thin.
The product is designed to be ready to use. If consistency is an issue, ensure it has been stirred properly. Avoid adding water unless explicitly stated by Metylan for specific conditions, as this can affect performance.
Visible paste marks after drying.
The paste dries transparent. If marks are visible, they may be from dirt transferred during application. Ensure hands and tools are clean. If marks persist, gently try to wipe with a damp sponge on the dried surface, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
