Application Instructions

Surface Preparation: Surface must be free from grease and other residues, dry, smooth and structurally sound. Check surfaces for paint bonding, loose wallcoverings, damaged wall-board or plaster. Repair all unsound surfaces. Priming of bare drywall is not required with fabric-backed wallcoverings. Before proceeding with any unusual conditions, consult your adhesive or wallcovering supplier.

Dilution: May be diluted with up to one pint of clean water per gallon. DO NOT OVER DILUTE.

Application Method: Use only when the room temperature is above 50°F. Apply an even coat of adhesive with a pasting machine or roller. Avoid contact with the surface of embossed, textured or delicate wallcoverings. Book wallcovering according to the wallcovering manufacturer’s instructions.

Clean-Up: Before the adhesive dries, remove any excess with clean water. Additional effort may be required if the adhesive is allowed to contact the surface of embossed or textured vinyls.
