What is the best way to dissolve wallpaper glue?

Wallpaper - a modern finishing material used for interior decoration. The quality of the surface depends not only on the characteristics, but also on their proper installation. Fixing wallpaper involves the use of special mixtures that have adhesive characteristics. It is important to learn how to properly spread the adhesive before starting such operations.

Manufacturers put on the market today, several types of wallpaper glue. These compositions are designed to work only with certain types of paintings. Therefore, it is important when purchasing to check with the seller what substances can be fixed with their help.

Depending on the type of wallpaper glue can be divided into several groups:

• Products for paper canvases. Adhesion indicators of the mixture with the wall are relatively weak.Therefore, this glue just will not stand the fabric with great weight.
• Solutions for heavy wallpaper. To increase the quality of bonding, PVA is added to the product. These solutions can also be used for paper wallpaper, but this approach is uneconomical.

• Universal glue (for example, "Moment"). Such mixtures are designed to work with all types of wallpaper (vinyl, paper and others). But it is better not to use it, because the quality of the universal glue is not always satisfactory and does not allow for better fixation than with the help of highly specialized materials.

• Glue for glass wall. The composition has a dispersion structure that allows you to glue even textile wallpaper or fabric-based materials with it.
• Mixes for non-woven wallpaper. The most popular brands of this category are "Methylan", "Fliz", "Exclusive" and "Quelyd". Please note that these adhesives are recommended for use on non-woven wallpaper. Sometimes they can be used to fix and paper canvases.

When pasting wallpaper, it is very important to acquire not only a quality solution, but also the right amount of it. Universal, specialized or non-woven glue differ in various consumption.To find out the approximate amount of the mixture, you should evaluate several basic characteristics:

• Type of glue and manufacturer's recommendations. Each package indicates the optimal amount of mixture per unit area. Therefore, when buying it is important to pay attention to this indicator.

• Wallpaper material. Tissue or heavy materials can absorb a significant amount of liquid, while paper needs a minimum amount.
• The structure of the wall. Today, many adhesives are applied to concrete walls that absorb poorly liquid. Therefore, they will need a little less than, for example, on a wall of clay, gas-block and other similar substances.

Find the optimal consumption of glue is possible only with the help of real experiments.

Glue preparation is a simple operation that does not require any special skills. But in order to get quality products, you should stock up with some auxiliary tools:

1. Capacity of a certain volume. For pasting one room you can use a normal bucket or basin. In this case, you can always quickly prepare another mixture, if it ends. This became possible due to the fact that all solutions are instant and prepare about 5-10 minutes depending on the manufacturer and brand.
2. Device for mixing. The simplest option would be a wooden stick. If the amount of the mixture is significant, then you can use a construction mixer or a drill with a special nozzle.

Please note that all tools must be clean. This is important, since the ingress of dirt can badly affect the quality of pasting wallpaper. So try to check if there is any sand or dirt left in the bucket or on the mixer.

Wallpaper glue is released today in the form of a kind of flakes, which, when mixed with water, swell and form a mixture similar to gel or jelly.

The technology of glue preparation consists of such sequential actions:

• The first step is to measure the required amount of clean water. Sometimes experts recommend using a slightly warm liquid, as the mixture can dissolve better in it.
• After measured the desired volume of solution.For this, it is advisable to use a measuring cup to keep all proportions.

• Before diluting the glue with water, it is advisable to use a stick to make rotational movements in order to make the liquid move to one side. After that, small portions of the flakes are poured into a container. It is important to constantly rotate the stick in order to prevent the glue from sticking together.
• When the flakes are all dissolved, and a gel begins to form, you can finish stirring the mixture. After that, it is left for 5-15 minutes. This is necessary so that the remaining components can swell and acquire the desired consistency.

At the end of the preparation, you can apply the solution on the wallpaper or on the wall. Please note that storing the mixture for a long time is not advisable, as it will lose its properties. Therefore, try to accurately calculate the required amount of the required amount of adhesive.

Breeding wallpaper glue is a simple operation.

To get a quality mix, it is important to follow these simple rules:

• Before mixing, be sure to read the instructions for use. It specifies the desired ratio of water and glue for mixing.Please note that on universal formulations this value may vary depending on the type of wallpaper for which they will be applied.
• To get a strong adhesion, it is advisable to take a little less water than recommended by the manufacturer. But do not reduce the dose by half, as it will not give a positive result.

• When mixing, pour the flakes gradually. If you put all the volume into the water at once, this will lead to the formation of a lump. After that, to obtain a uniform liquid is practically not realistic.
• Do not add to the composition of the PVA, as this will not give the desired result. Famous brands of solutions and so well will keep the canvas without the use of third-party impurities.
• Non-woven wallpaper glue only on a thick solution that will allow you to get a flat and durable surface.

The technology of glue preparation is quite simple, but requires care, as well as adherence to simple rules. If the quality of pasting is important to you, then give preference only to products of famous brands. And, of course, be sure to carefully read the instructions on the package.
