Step-by-step instruction for gluing photobots on the wall
If you are going to paste wallpaper on wallpaper, then you should know that this is a wrong decision. If you put the wallpaper on top of old, then through them the structure of the lower wallpaper will be viewed. Old wallpaper must be removed. To do this, they can apply a special tool, wait 10 minutes and then remove them with a spatula.
Next, align the walls so that they do not have any unevenness. All cracks, holes and cracks must be plastered. If you are going to glue wallpaper on the door, then they should also be carefully prepared - eliminate all irregularities. If you glue wall-papers on painted walls, then they must first be washed. Surfaces, which will be glued wallpaper, can be too smooth. On them grinding paper you need to create a roughness and adhesiveness of wallpaper and the wall will be better.
To properly place wallpapers on the wall, you must first lay them on the floor of the room, the way they will be located on the wall. It is necessary to measure their area and compare with the size of the wall. It may be that the size of your wallpaper will be larger than the size of the wall. Then they need to be pruned. Before you paste wallpaper on the wall, it is best to first make the markings on the wall. Using a level and a pencil draw a vertical line along which you will place the wallpaper. Why apply a markup on the wall for all the fragments of photo wallpapers.
You will be able to choose the right glue for gluing wallpapers with the help of a sales consultant in the store. Often with a photo wallpaper in the kit is sold and special glue, but you can use the same glue that is used when gluing the usual wallpaper. How to prepare it is described in the instructions to it.
With the roller or paint brush, the glue is evenly spread on the back of the piece and on the part of the wall on which it will be glued. A strip of wallpaper, after applying glue on it, should be glued in a few minutes, because the glue will start to solidify. In addition, the wallpaper is strongly impregnated with glue, soak it. From this, they increase in size and stretch, why the drawing does not converge, wrinkles and bubbles appear. Do not fold paper twice, because there will be a strip from the fold.
On how exactly you glue the first strip, depends on how exactly you paste the rest. Correctly glue wallpaper if the first fragment is glued from the upper left corner. The edge of the wallpaper strip should coincide with the vertical line that you drew.
After that, apply all the other fragments to the walls. You need to very carefully combine the joints of the wallpaper. Carefully ensure that they do not overlap one another. After gluing the strip on the wall, remove air bubbles. This is done with a rubber roller.
Pull the vertical line along the pasted strip with a roller, then smooth the fragment with the herringbone method from the center to the edges. You need to do this very carefully, so that the wet wallpaper does not stretch. You can not transfer wallpaper to neighboring walls, if it is not provided by the picture itself. If there is glue on the front surface, it should be removed immediately with a damp sponge.
After gluing the wallpaper, you need to let them dry. In order that they suddenly do not fall off, the room should not have drafts. It is not desirable to glue the wallpaper in a strong heat, as the surface can crack, seams can disperse. When the wallpaper is dry, cut off excess wallpaper with a stationery knife.
We sincerely hope that we were able to answer the question of how to correctly apply wall-papers to the wall.
