Review: This stuff is the best and works amazing - I was told this was the best brand to buy for wallpaper so I purchased it on desertcart and it came in very quickly very easy to use it dries quickly. It’s very thick in the bucket and doesn’t drip everywhere and it goes on the wall easily. It is a little messy so you just have to be careful when using it not to let it get all over but to me that would happen with any type of glue. Quality is amazing and it holds the wallpaper in place. The size of the bucket is a little bigger than a paint bucket.
Review: Can't say enough good things! - I'm a seasoned DIYer, I've hung peel and stick wallpaper before. Never had I hung real wallaper that needed paste. Wallpaper is expensive so I was very worried about hanging it. I used this paste and it was soooo easy. It has harly any odor, the texture is similar to yogurt and it goes on very well. I rolled It onto the wall like paint and then hung the wallpaper up. It was so easy to do, and the if you put enough paste on the wall you have time to manipulate the wallpaper to where it needs to be with minimal struggle. It doesn't dry so fast that it's irritating and it's water clean up, so wiping up paste from the edges of the wallpaper was a breeze. I will definitely be buying this product again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I apply this to a painted smooth masonary wall?**
A: I wouldn't think its an issue.  I used it over a textured/painted wall and it worked great.

**Q: Works for non-woven wallpaper ??**
A: This wallpaper adhesive did not work as heavy duty to me. It should work on any wallpaper. It goes on pretty wet. The old thing is you can move the paper and realign, if needed probably for a good 30 mins after you place it.

**Q: do I have to prime my wall first?**
A: Just a thought, if it is new wallboard and if you think you might ever want to paint that wall it would be better to prime it so that the glue doesn't soak into the wallboard. Then when you take the wallpaper down you won't pull hunks of wallboard out.

**Q: Is this a vinyl adhesive**
A: Not sure, I use this for heavier wallpaper and will never use anything but this ever. Its amazing!!!
