All the base is leveled, shpaklyuyut and apply a deep penetrating primer. After that, the walls must dry, be firm and clean. Then we cut the length of the webs equal to the height of the walls with a margin of 5-10 centimeters.
Begin the process of gluing from the corner of the room. The dry cloth is applied to the wall so that with one edge it rests against the corner. Where the other edge ends, make a pencil mark and draw a level band. It is along this line that all other canvases will be glued, so it's worth to be careful with the drawing.
The roller is applied with glue to the line drawn. The cloth is brought to the wall and glued from the top down. Then gently smoothed with a spatula to eliminate bubbles and wrinkles. The trowel movements are also carried out from the top down. Surplus material is trimmed at the skirting boards. After this, they begin to glue the next canvas already from the previously outlined line. At the final stage, you can paint the wallpaper.
