2. Before applying glue, pay attention to the label, which indicates where to apply it. So, if the icon says that the glue is applied to the wall, then the working surfaces should be sampled by means of a roller. In this case, the glue must be applied not immediately on the entire wall, but only on the site where the wallpaper strip will be glued. Then you should take this strip, climb with a stepladder to the ceiling and put it strictly along the line, which was applied before. For the remaining bands, the beacted part will be the glitched part.

This is the most convenient to do with roller. It is important that the glue is applied to the canvas evenly. When this is done, let the stripes lie down and impregnate with glue. The main thing is not to reap, and then the glue dries off and the material will be already unsuitable. Five minutes is usually enough. All other actions are the same as in the previous case.

While working you can use a clean rag. Therefore, you should prepare it in advance. With this cloth, you can remove the glue, which accidentally hit the front surface of the wallpaper. If you do not remove this glue, it will dry and stains will remain on the wallpaper, which will spoil the appearance of the room.
