How to glue wallpaper for painting on the walls

First you need to pick up glue for a certain type of roll materials. Under the paper products, universal adhesives are selected, non-woven roll materials and cullets are fixed on a special glue. To save the texture of the picture, wallpapering for do-it-yourself painting starts from the window.

How to prepare the surface

At the preparatory stage, it is necessary to clean the surface of the walls from fragments of old wallpaper or areas with paint. Holes and cracks in the base are putty, significant height differences are filled with plaster. After leveling the surface and drying out the solution, the walls are impregnated with a primer. Next, proceed to fixing the first canvas.

Marking and cutting

Not every user knows how to stick wallpaper for painting on walls. Cloths need to be tightly adjusted and glued butt. Start work on the left side of the window, then move counterclockwise. For proper gluing of the first web, a level or plumb line must be used. Using these tools, a vertical line is drawn at a distance of 50 centimeters from the window.

When gluing wall-paper or roll materials on a non-woven basis, glue is applied only to the base. In the case of gluing paper analogues, the canvas itself is also impregnated with a glue mixture.

All strips are cut to the height of the room with the addition of 5-7 centimeters to cover irregularities and joints with the floor and ceiling. The glue is applied to the cloth and wait 7-10 minutes for it to soak. The upper part of the strip is pressed against the wall and aligned in a line. Next, the rolled material is smoothed with a special brush or roller, from the central part to the edges. Excess parts are cut with a sharp knife.

To paste the walls with non-woven wallpaper, you need the following tool:

• glue;
• roller;
• soft tissue;

First you need to prepare the base, remove the old finish and fill all the bumps with plaster or putty. Next, we prepare the glue and cut the wallpaper into panels of the required length. The first strip is attached strictly in the vertical direction, while combining the other panels, you need to monitor the coincidence of the picture.

With a brush, glue is applied to the surface of the base, a strip is applied and air is expelled from under it, using a roller or soft cloth. After smoothing, no traces of bubbles should remain on the wall. Excess glue from the wall is cleaned with a rag.

Cullets for painting

We start by preparing the wall and applying a primer. When the solution has dried, we apply glue to the base along the width of the strip with a margin of 2 centimeters. Not everyone knows how to stick wallpaper for painting. In this case, the panels are glued by the joining method, overlapping can only be done with significant irregularities in the walls with further cutting of the seam.

The first strip is aligned along the marking line. The wallpaper is glued from top to bottom, the entire canvas should not be fixed to the wall. Cullets have a porous structure, so excess glue can appear through the material. Drops are ground and used as a primer. This will reduce paint consumption. Joints should be invisible against the background of the wall.

Glue paper wallpaper and vinyl on a paper substrate

Work must begin from a door or window to mask the seam. Next, measure the number of strips to an angle across the width of the roll, draw a vertical line on the wall. It is from this mark that we will glue the trellises.

First, glue the strip from an uneven corner, and the side of the material that is on the wall should be strictly vertical. We smooth the product thoroughly, and then paste another trellis. The strips at the junction should fit snugly together without creases and bends. Next, we take the building rule and a sharp clerical knife, cut the wallpaper vertically from top to bottom, remove excess pieces, smooth the strip.
