What is said about the requirements for wallpaper glue
There is a whole list of requirements that are at least half fulfilled by the responsible manufacturer. The rest depends on how the composition corresponds to the type of wallpaper, and how it is used correctly. Let's get acquainted with the general list of requirements:
composition that is harmless to health;
absence or minimal amount of smell;
easy-to-apply consistency with the recommended layer;
the curing speed should not be too fast or, conversely, too long, because you also need to adjust the canvas slowly;
the packaging may indicate the tensile strength when the wallpaper is moved one day after application. This should be a value in excess of 0.1 MPa;
air humidity should not affect the displacement of the canvases by more than 15-20%.

What is wallpaper glue made of, what are its performance characteristics
Any glue will be made based on a general formula consisting of:
main component;

Despite the many options for wallpaper glue, they can be conditionally divided into three types.
Special formulations for a specific type of canvas.

Ask a Question
"The composition should not contain synthetic resins, they are harmful to health!
"
There is a universal PVA glue designed for wallpapering. If you decide to glue fabric wallpaper or glass wallpaper, then ready-made dispersion mixtures in high concentration are purchased. They allow you to fix the canvases very firmly and reliably.
Form of release: in what form is wallpaper glue sold
A few words about the form in which you can buy glue. These can be dry powders for dilution with water or ready-made liquid formulations in plastic buckets.
Advantages or disadvantages: what can be said about different types of glue
Let's take a closer look at why this or that type of wallpaper glue is so good.
Universal PVA:
waterproof;
glues well;
resistant to subzero temperatures;
improves adhesion when added to a putty or primer;
fire resistant;
environmentally friendly and safe;
is inexpensive.
However, this is not the best choice due to the fact that it dries for a long time, and the wallpaper is very difficult to straighten without blemishes. In addition, the adhesion strength is so high that it will be very, very difficult to tear off the canvas during the next repair.
Now a few words about Bustilat. This is also a composition with high water resistance and fire resistance. The advantage will be an economical consumption: you need no more than 200 g per square meter. Glue "Bustilat" is elastic and allows you to correct the position of the blade during operation. Drying is quite long, you need to wait about one and a half days.
PHOTO: 1-str.ruThe price of Bustilat is very affordable, and you can use glue even in high humidity conditions.

Drilling glue also has its advantages:
environmentally friendly;
resistant to fungi and mold;
does not emit a smell;
long-term use does not lead to yellowing;
is cheap.
The vinyl composition has high adhesion and a long service life: the wallpaper will not come off until the next repair.

Vinyl mixes are resistant to negative temperatures. They are represented by a large assortment of different manufacturers.
Adhesives for fiberglass and textiles quickly form an adhesive film (up to 20 hours) with a high level of strength. These mixtures are resistant to non-corrosive fluids, but are expensive.
How to choose wallpaper glue and not regret a failed repair
What should be guided by when choosing an adhesive? On the one hand, it seems that you can take glue according to the type of wallpaper, but on the other, there are a lot of nuances. Which ones? It is necessary to take into account a number of points here:
what the wall is made of, on which the wallpaper will be glued;
how much the canvases weigh;
room humidity and its temperature characteristics;
what is the complete adhesion after drying;
is the composition safe for health;
will the composition allow the canvases to be displaced for alignment;
what is the percentage of all components, are there any antifungal among them;
if the pH goes beyond 6-7, then light-colored wallpaper is threatened with yellowing in different places;
is it possible to restore the glue after getting wet;
what will be the consumption of the composition.
Modified starch does not cost anything but paper and vinyl canvases, CMC is tenacious, such mixtures can be taken for plastered and plastered walls. If the pasting is on painted wall, then formulations with methylcellulose with an impressive proportion of PVA are suitable.
You can also be puzzled by the question of buying a ready-made composition or powder for dilution with water. Ready-made formulations are convenient, you do not need to waste time on them, clarifying the nuances of breeding. But such a composition in a bucket is more expensive than dry powder. Shelf life is very important as liquid glue cannot be stored for a long time.
Diluting dry powder is more troublesome than taking a ready-made mixture, but with careful study of the instructions and full adherence to the manufacturer's advice, difficulties usually arise.
There are more expensive adhesives in pink or blue.

You should not worry, as it dries, the composition will become transparent.
How to calculate the amount of glue per 1 m²
The specific consumption of glue for 1 m² is indicated on the package. But you should not always trust such information unconditionally. It's not about the manufacturer's shortcomings, but about the conditions of pasting. In different situations, the solution will lay down in different ways, somewhere more glue will go away, somewhere, on the contrary, less.
The first thing to consider is the type of wallpaper. Heavy canvases require more adhesive density. Consumption is reduced from properly carried out preparatory work, especially if applied two-layer primer and all materials of the same brand and company. This approach will reduce the consumption of adhesive by almost a third. As far as appropriate, it is up to the person who makes the repairs to decide.
PHOTO: remboo.ruWe make calculations taking into account the surface and the number of rolls
It is important to take into account the structure of the surface: for porous and rough walls, the consumption of the adhesive is more solid than for smooth and dense ones.
For example, the calculation for paper wallpaper is carried out as follows: with one layer of primer on the wall, you need to dilute the powder in a ratio of 1 to 40. That is, for 300 g of a pack, 12 liters of water are taken, which will allow covering 60-70 m² of walls with an even layer.
PHOTO: aquacottage.comCorrect calculations will not require you to urgently run to the store for a new pack of glue for a couple of strips of wallpaper
If the wallpaper is heavy, then the composition is diluted thicker, and 6 liters of water are taken for a 300 g pack, obtaining a coating of 30-40 m².
The calculation takes into account the number of rolls, especially if you need to apply glue both to them and to the walls, as well as the area of the room to be glued.
