Pasting walls with photo wallpapers. When sticking photo wallpapers there is a certain instruction that helps to make everything right and achieve an excellent result. First of all you need to prepare the materials you need for this job:
1. A bucket that you need to mix the glue.
2. Not a synthetic glue pack for wallpapers. It is best to choose glue on a natural basis.
3. Brush that you need to apply glue.
4. Roller for smoothing the wallpaper.
5. Stationery knife in order to gently trim the edges of the wallpaper.
6. Measuring tape for measuring the wall.
7. Level.
8. Spatula.
9. Pencil.
Before you begin wallpapering the walls with wallpaper, you should make sure that the wall surface is smooth, smooth, clean and ready for use, see how to prepare the walls for wallpapering. Do not forget that the wall should be absolutely dry - this is very important. On your wall should not remain old wallpaper and unevenness. If they exist, you should get rid of them with a spatula. No less important factor is the fact that the temperature of the room where you are going to glue the wallpaper must be at least twenty degrees. Remember that you must completely eliminate drafts, otherwise you risk getting a far from perfect result of your work, since the wallpaper can dry out not evenly, wrinkle and in some places stretch.
We go further. Lay out the picture panels on the floor to see the entire image. Now you should compare the size of the resulting image with the size of your wall. Next, using a pencil and a level, mark the wall on each part of the picture, so you can achieve the best result and image correctness. Moreover, so it will be easier for you to glue panels. Now there is a pasting of walls with photo wallpapers.
Now you can stir the glue according to the instruction on the package and apply it with a brush on the first panel. If the surface of your wall is not smooth, but more porous, then you may need to apply several layers of glue. Further exactly along the outlined lines attach the first panel to the wall, and, using the roller, glue it, carefully smoothing it. Smooth the panel from the center to the edges. Exactly the same work done with the second, third and fourth panel.
Starting to glue the fifth panel, it is worth paying close attention to ensure that the picture is consistent. To do this, you need to put the fifth panel slightly on the panel number one( this is about five millimeters).Therefore, the panel six, seven and eight must be superimposed on subsequent panels so that the resulting pattern is fully matched and consistent with the intended result. It is necessary to wipe thoroughly all the glue that has got on the front side of the wallpaper with a dry and clean rag. If you need to crop the edges of the wallpaper, this should be done only after the glue and wallpaper have completely dried. To do this, you should use a stationery knife prepared in advance.
Tips on how to paste wallcoverings on a wall correctly:
Before you begin to apply the panels of wallpaper to the wall, it should be treated with glue. After you have applied the glue to the surface, it is necessary to wait a little until the adhesive is partially dry. This is necessary to ensure that all unnecessary moisture is absorbed, but the wall remains sticky. The wallpaper panel should be neatly placed on the wall, which is smeared with glue, and make sure that some of the photo wallpapers match the line drawn in advance. A very important advice is to press the wallpaper from the center and evenly smooth the roller to the edges. Each next part of the wallpaper must be pasted either exactly to the side, or overlapping, that is, adhere to the instructions of those wallpapers that you have chosen for yourself - this will help to achieve an ideal result at the conclusion of work. Do not worry if you suddenly see small bubbles on the surface - they will necessarily go away after the glue dries, modern wallpaper is not choosy, if you stick to the technology of pasting.

Time of drying of photo-wallpapers:
Drying time of glue and wallpaper depends very much on the humidity of the air and the temperature of the room where this work is taking place. If the room is dominated by normal conditions, then the glue layer can dry up in just three and a half hours. But it must be remembered that after the application of the adhesive layer on the wall, the installation of photo wallpapers should be made no more than three and a half hours.
But after applying the adhesive, the wallpaper and the wall must dry for at least one hour. It can significantly shorten the drying time using infrared rays or hot air, but not more than sixty degrees.
Cleaning the surface of the wallpaper after gluing on the wall:
In order to remove the liquid glue that remained on the front side of the wallpaper and on the joints after gluing them on the wall, it is necessary to use water or a soap solution. If the glue is already withered, then you should resort to using ethyl alcohol or acetone. But it is very important to do this carefully, as these substances can damage the surface of the wallpaper.
If you do not adhere to the rules of technology of applying photo wallpapers, then you have deformations and bubbles, this case is not considered a guarantee, and such images can not be exchanged.
