How to Use:

1. Surface Preparation:
   Ensure wall surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and old adhesive residues. For porous or absorbent walls, apply a coat of diluted adhesive as a primer (known as sizing) and allow to dry.
2. Application:
   Use a brush, roller, or pasting machine to apply adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper or directly to the wall if using paste-the-wall paper. For best results, apply generously to ensure proper bonding without air pockets.
3. Wallpaper Hanging:
   Position the wallpaper onto the wall and smooth out using a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother. Adjust as needed to align patterns or match seams. Remove any excess adhesive with a clean, damp cloth or sponge before it dries.
4. Drying & Finishing:
   Allow adequate time for adhesive to fully dry before painting or exposing to steam and humidity. Store unused adhesive in the original sealed container for future touch-ups.
