Review: Recommended - Great product! Not messy or sticky. Made putting wallpaper up a breeze. After a year took some panels down - no damage to the paint or the wall.
Review: Very easy to use and clean up - I ordered this to help adhere pre-pasted wallpaper to paneling, after which I mounted on the ceiling of my entry. Sounds strange, but it was paintable, textured wallpaper that looks just like ceiling tiles and was cheaper than buying ceiling panels. I tried just using the wallpaper and water method like the instructions said, but the wallpaper didn't stick very well and was flimsy once it got wet. So here's what I did: I poured some of this wallpaper adhesive into a paint pan and added some water to make it a little more runny. I didn't think it needed to be quite as thick as it was - kind of a cross between Elmer's school glue and rubber cement. This is totally clear and like a gel. I then used a 4" paint brush and brushed the adhesive on the paneling in small sections, pressing the wallpaper on as I went to smooth out bubbles or wrinkles. I did not wet the wallpaper first. It worked great! I could reposition the wallpaper by lifting it up and moving it slightly and then pressing it down again, and it did not rip the wallpaper like it had when I was using only water. I let it sit for a few hours (I didn't have the paneling on the wall at this time, it was laying down on sawhorses). After a few hours I set the panels up on edge propped against the wall and let them dry overnight. The next day I installed the paneling on my ceiling, and it turned out very good. The wallpaper stuck and I now have a textured ceiling, ready to paint. Cleanup was very easy - the glue washed out of my paint brush with simply warm water (although I added some dish soap just to make sure), and it wasn't sticky or anything after the brush was dry. You can't tell I used the brush to apply glue. Same with the paint pan, rinsed out with warm water. I also like that this glue is clear and dries clear. I got a bit of glue on the wrong side of the wallpaper and it dried clear and you can't tell that there is glue there. I found this very easy to use, I didn't use the whole gallon (although I may have if I hadn't mixed it with water), and would definitely recommend this to make ANY wallpapering job so smoother. Much easier than the dip in water method.

## 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!!!
