Wallpaper Paste

Although you might think that one wallpaper paste is much the same as the next, there are actually several different types, each with quite specific uses. Most of these types of paste come as a powder or flakes ready to be mixed with water. However, you can also by ready mixed paste.

All-Purpose Paste

This is the standard type of wallpaper paste, suitable for most normal, lightweight to mediumweight paper.

Heavy-Duty Paste

Specifically designed for hanging heavy embossed paper and other heavyweight wallcoverings.

Ready-Mixed Paste

Ready-mixed wallpaper paste can be used for most wallcoverings, however it is designed for hanging heavyweight paper.

Stain-Free Paste

Some wallpaper (particularly delicate, lightweight paper) can be stained by normal paste. Using stain-free paste means this is much less likely to happen.

Fungicidal Paste

Fungicidal paste contains a fungicidal solution to help prevent moulds forming on the paper. Usful in badly ventilated areas, although serious causes of damp should be solved properly rather than just wallpapered over.

Repair Adhesive

Repair adhesive is used to stick down loose edges and corners of wallpaper sheets. Can also be effective for applying decorative borders.
