Today, there is hardly a person who does not have the slightest idea about what repair is. All the features and nuances of this process are widely known. Most likely, this is why repairs are often associated with several crossings or one fire. Of course, all these statements are more relevant to overhauls. As for cosmetic repairs, it’s not so global and complex, and often comes down only to plywood wallpaper.

Is it worth adding extra components to the wallpaper glue?

Today, the question of what kind of wallpaper glue to buy is difficult to attribute to a very difficult one - in all stores selling building materials a fairly wide and varied selection of glue for different types of wallpaper is provided. But many people who are going to start gluing tapestries, want to choose not just good glue, but to find the best, most durable and thorough. Moreover, having found one, various components are added to it for greater strength, it seems that they will not glue the wallpaper, but the walls themselves.

Using such a composition, over time, when the next redecoration is planned, the owners will face a lot of problems and inconveniences. Changing the color to yellow, well-glued wallpapers will have to be torn off with at least stucco. In other words, the best glue obtained by adding extraneous ingredients will spoil the nervous system at the most unexpected moment. This will happen on the very day that the trellis plywood will be planned - they will be glued tightly, they cannot be removed quickly. This process can drag on for a long time and take your time, money and non-recovering nerve cells.

How, then, to understand which glue is better? How to do without the above unpleasant situations? What types of glue can be used and what types of trellises are used? Even quick answers to these questions will help you make the right choice.

The best glue for wallpaper

Nowadays, almost no one is engaged in cooking paste - the production of wallpaper glue is constantly developing and amaze consumers with gluing products made using the latest technology. Manufacturers take into account all modern trends in the development and wallpaper business. Wallpaper glue is made for each type, type, density, gluing complexity. Basically, the difference between the adhesives is in the chemical composition or in the volume of the various additives included in the composition. By and large, all its types, in the first place, are divided into universal and special.

Universal glue

The name of this type of glue speaks for itself. Many manufacturers produce such glue. He glues all types of materials equally well and reliably - this result is obtained due to the addition of a variety of chemical amplifiers in its composition. Of course, their presence greatly increases the risk of chemical poisoning and can cause harm to human health. The cost of universal glue is much higher than the cost of ordinary. This price is directly related to the presence in the composition of expensive chemical elements and synthetic resins.

The considered type of glue is perfect for light materials and for durable, having a meter width. Specialists disagree about this glue: some people think that a certain type of wallpaper needs to be glued with a special glue suitable for this type, while others say that universal glue is an ideal option for cosmetic repairs. Since opinions disagree, and supporters and opponents of the universal product use indisputable facts to prove their case, the consumer will still have to make the final decision on which type to use.

Of course, it is worth considering the fact that after 5-6 years, even with a good condition, the appearance of the same trellis will get tired and boring. There will be a desire to replace them, but if you used universal glue, there may well be difficulties with dismantling.

Special glue

By purchasing the wallpaper you like, the buyer will definitely receive a recommendation from the sales assistant on which glue is suitable specifically for this type of wallpaper. Immediately prior to pasting, it is worthwhile to carefully study the instructions attached to the package. In the further process, this moment will greatly facilitate your work, help reduce material consumption and save your time and money.

Glue for paper wallpaper

One of the most famous and universally sold adhesives for paper trellis is KMTS-1. It looks like a powder of pure white color. In order to prepare this glue, it is necessary to mix it with a certain amount of water indicated on the package. For stirring, you can use a screwdriver with a nozzle from the mixer. The inconvenience in the preparation can be attributed to the lengthy process of mixing (unless of course resorting to the help of a screwdriver with a nozzle) and the greater likelihood of folding the glue into pieces (which is not advisable when pasting with paper wallpaper).

Adhesive for vinyl wallpaper

The most commonly purchased wall decoration materials are acrylic and vinyl based wallpapers. Their structure is significantly different from the structure of ordinary, paper. As well as for the previous type of wallpaper, vinyl and acrylic need glue designed specifically for these types. On each roll of similar wallpaper is a leaflet with instructions and specifications. The instructions indicate exactly what glue you need to use when gluing them.

They produce vinyl trellises as follows - a polyvinyl chloride coating is applied to the paper base, due to which their surface becomes soft and embossed. This manufacturing technology leads to an increase in the weight of the wallpaper. In order to properly and reliably glue them, it is necessary to apply glue to a certain piece of the wall and to the piece of wallpaper itself. After applying glue to a piece of wallpaper, you need to give some time to absorb the glue.

Adhesive for non-woven wallpaper

Another equally popular and purchased type of trellis is non-woven. They are made by applying to the base of non-woven the same polyvinyl chloride. Of course, you need to glue them with special glue for this type of wallpaper. An interesting fact is that these wallpapers are easily and reliably glued with glue for other types, but it is not recommended to apply the composition designed specifically for these wallpapers to other materials.

Installation of such wallpapers is quite simple. On the surface of the piece itself, glue does not need to be applied. The base made of non-woven fabric does not change shape, does not deform, does not tear and does not swell. Wallpaper of this type is produced both for painting and with a relief, volumetric pattern. When working with them, it is necessary to fulfill one condition - to prepare the wall for gluing. Namely, putty, and then a primer.

Wallpaper glue consumption

In order to correctly calculate the right amount of glue for any type of wallpaper and save money without buying too much, you need to carefully study the instructions on the wallpaper and on a bundle of glue.

Now, knowing the basic principles of selecting glue, we can conclude that the best glue will be one that is selected to a specific type of trellis and prepared correctly, in accordance with the instructions. Wallpaper manufacturers take part in the development of glue for the types of wallpaper they produce. Self-respecting manufacturers strive for the highest quality of their product, as well as to meet the needs of customers. It is advisable to always thoroughly study the attached instructions for wallpaper and glue before buying wallpaper.
