How to remove bubbles on pasted wallpapers

Wallpapering is the time-consuming stage of repairing an apartment, which includes removing old trellis, leveling the surface with putty. But that's not all, you want to know how to remove bubbles on pasted wallpapers quickly and efficiently, read to the end.

What you need to know about preparing walls for wallpaper

Uneven walls and corners are a big problem, but solvable. Secondary repair involves the removal of old wallpaper from the surface of the walls. To do this, wet the old trellis with warm water. Wait until the water penetrates to the concrete and remove the paper with a spatula. Then we check the angles by applying a plaster rule to them.

Uneven corners should be plastered, otherwise it will be ugly. If there are potholes and pits on the wall, it is recommended to putty and remove the tubercles.

Glue wallpaper as professionals

To do everything quickly, you should immediately cut the wallpaper to fit, so as not to come back to this anymore. There are several ways to apply glue:

1. Application of the adhesive mixture with a roller or brush on the wallpaper. Unless, of course, they are light.
2. Putting glue only on the wall, this method is rare.
3. Drawing liquid mass on a wall and on wall-paper. It is done more often so that heavy wallpaper does not fall away. This method is not rational for light and medium wallpapers.

Wallpapering starts from an even angle. If the angle is not aligned, then it is worth drawing a vertical strip with a pencil, but so that the risk is non-greasy, otherwise the outline may appear under light wallpaper.

Glue impregnated wallpaper overlay on a vertical line, so that the edge was strictly on the line. Next, we pass a plastic spatula from top to bottom along this edge of the wallpaper. And then from the middle we drive out the bubbles, smoothing the strip down and up. Someone uses a special roller or just a rag. But as practice has shown, working with a plastic spatula is much more convenient and efficient.

There may be excess or lack of glue in an unbroken bubble, so be sure to evenly apply glue to the wallpaper.

Small bubbles after the paper dries, can be smoothed, but it also happens that they remain. In this case, you can bleed air using a syringe and a needle. Inject a little glue and wait for the wallpaper to soak. Then gently smooth. Do not forget that the temperature during pasting, until completely dry, should be the same. Avoid drafts. Have a good repair.
