Special glue is used for vinyl wallpaper, but certain types of multifunctional adhesives are also suitable. It is only necessary to imply that the consumption of adhesive mass plus to this will be large. The selection of glue for vinyl wallpapers is made taking into account how the trellis are made on the basis. Vinyl wallpapers belong to the heavy type of these products. The glue for them “fights” actually instantly, which protects a strip of wallpaper from sliding along the wall during fasteners.

Types of glue for vinyl wallpaper
All types of adhesives are divided into home and industrial. Unlike experienced species of homemade glue is packaged in bags or boxes of cardboard. The weight of such packages is different, and therefore one should calculate in advance the right number of glue. Gluing material is located in the package in the form of powder mass. Dilute it with warm water specifically before use. Domestic adhesive base – starch.
Basically, specialized substances add to such powders, which interfere with the appearance of fungi and mold. Glutolin adhesives, vinyl “Dobrodel” and German “Moment Classic” are in demand. With high -quality security of gluing, they have a relatively low cost.
Specialized dye is introduced into certain adhesives. In water, when preparing glue, it stains the entire mixture with some color. This makes it possible to control the uniformity of spreading glue on trellis, because a strip of glue is clearly visible – in specifics this is important when decorating the edges of the wallpaper strips.
