Pasting un-pasted
wallcovering

Use the type of paste recommended in the instructions
that came with the wallcovering.   If no information is given, ask your retailer’s
advice.

Brush or roll the back of the wallcovering with paste.   Apply plenty to the edges.  Fold the strip (or “book”) pasted side to pasted
side, that is bring in both edges toward the middle, but do not crease.

Strips should be
booked to allow for sufficient absorption of moisture and for the wallcovering
to become supple. Approximate time is 2-4 minutes. Once again, see individual
instructions for exact booking time.

Pre-Pasted
Wallcoverings

Fill water tray with luke-warm water and roll the strip
pattern side in (backwards).  Immerse in water tray for the  time recommended in the
instructions supplied in each roll(usually 2-4 minutes).  Then take the top end of the roll and pull
sheet out of water allowing it to unroll as it is drawn from the tray.  Fold the strip (or “book”) pasted side to pasted
side, that is bring in both edges toward the middle, but do not crease.  Change the water frequently every
5-6 strips.

Change your blade often.  Having a sharp knife
is the key to successful trimming.
