PRISTINE PAPER

Before wallpapering fill holes and cracks in walls and smooth flat. On particularly uneven walls hang lining paper horizontally to provide a base

Paste-the-wall options have a backing that doesn’t expand when wet, so you can hang it dry onto a pre-pasted wall

Remove any glue that gets on to the front of a wallpaper immediately; once it’s dried it won’t come off

Instead of mixing paste and water in a bucket, opt for a ready-mixed wallpaper adhesive which is formulated to contain the correct amount of water and glue to hold the paper in place
