How To Hang Paste The Wall Wallpaper

A how to hang wallpaper video, from Arte Wallpapers, showing you how to install vinyl wallcovering on paper backing, using an alternative method where you use the paste the walls method, instead of looking at the other method of how to hang paste the wallpaper video.

Warning this method is only possible with Art clear pro adhesive. Unlike Arte Clear Pro traditional wall covering adhesive contains a lot of water. As this alternative method requires moistening the wallcovering the traditional adhesive is not strong enough. In this Video Arte Wallcoverings will work with roles that are 70 cm wide, often considered as Wide Width Wallpaper.

How To Hang Paste The Wall Wallpaper

1. First check whether the rolls all have the same reference and batch number.
2. The method we are showing here is an alternative for the hanging method shown in the instructions supplied with a wallcovering, however it is still useful to read those instructions carefully as they contain a lot of useful information.
3. Roll out the wallcovering with the printed side facing up and check whether it is ok.
4. Before you start make sure that the wall is prepared well.
5. A good wall must be dry, clean, slightly absorbent and smooth.
6. Determine the place where you will start, that is the second drop from a corner.
7. Calculate the width of the wallcovering -2 cm in this case 68 cm.
8. Draw a plumb line where you will start.
9. Measure the height of the wall.
10. Cut the drops to length and add 10 extra centimetres.
11. Always mark the top end of the drop on the back.
12. Wall drops must be hung in the same direction unless the instructions indicate otherwise.
13. Turn the drops over.
14. Moisten the first drop sufficiently and evenly with clean cold water using a sponge.
15. Make sure that you moisten wallcovering to the very edges.
16. Fold the ends to the middle.
17. Position the edges together perfectly so the sides do not dry out.
18. Let the water soak in, observe a soaking time of about 8 to 10 minutes.
19. In the meantime stir the adhesive well in the tub.
20. Pour the adhesive into a bucket, and put the ladder and a decent bucket in place.
21. Use a brush to paste the wall near the edge at the top and bottom.
22. Use a microfibre roller to paste the rest of the wall, spread the adhesive a little wider than the drop on both sides.
23. Distribute the adhesive evenly and sufficiently thick.
24. After the soaking time the drop has expanded to its maximum, unfold the drop and roll it up with the design on the inside.
25. The marking will now be on the outside.
26. Continue working so it doesn't dry out, roll it out gradually.
27. Position the drop exactly against the plumb line on the wall.
28. Press the drop gently with a rubber roller.
29. Work from the middle to the sides. 
    Press the wallcovering and the skirting board and the ceiling with a corner roller or spatula.
30. Cut off the excess at the top and bottom with a sharp snap off knife against a spatula.
31. For each cask use a new piece of the step of knife.
32. Moisten the next drop like the first one, and let the water soak in.
33. For the drop at the corner work the same way and place it against the edge of the first drop.
34. Press the seam, with a seam roller.
35. Use a corner roller or spatula for the corner.
36. Cut off the excess at the ceiling, at the skirting board, and in the corner.
37. Always press the blade against the spatula on the side of the excess.
38. Finish the third drop the same way.
39. Clean the ceiling and the skirting board.
40. If you're using washable wallcovering also clean the drops with a sponge and cold water.
41. Check the results after three drops.
42. Finish the wall beyond the corner.
43. Draw a plumb line at a distance slightly less than the drop with from the corner.
44. Finish the drop in the same way.
45. Once again remove the excess in the corner.
46. Clean the corner with cold water.
47. Finish the whole room in the same way.
