is there an easyier way to hang pre pasted wallpaper.it says to submerge in water for 45 seconds then take out and leave to soak for 4 minutes then hang,but would it do any harm just to paste them anyway and forget about submergeing them. :)
 
To save all the mess of the water trough, just paste it as normal but with a thinner mix of paste, this will activate the paste on the back of the paper. Let it soak for about 2 mins before hanging as all paper expands when wet. Should be fine.
 
thanks for the help,how thin should the paste be ,its solvite paste the flake not ready mixed :)
 
Solvite is fine, probably the best anyway in my opinion. You dont want it like water but i would say one 12 pint packet to about 2 thirds of a bucket of water should be ok.
