Does anybody use this stuff? When hanging papers such as Arthouse it specifically tells you to use it as its heavyweight, I hate using it! Is there an alternative, like maybe mixing some normal paste up but thicker? Or a little PVA added?

I use solvite with approx 10% PVA added
I used to do that until I realised it was a big mistake.
Not normally a PVA basher
but when you come to strip it, it's awful because it doesn't soften up like paste and you can't wash the walls down properly. I was unfortunate enough to follow my own work many years ago after using a pva paste mix - never again.

.I only tend to do it with lining paper & Ive not had to strip any of my own work yet I always find the most effective wallpaper adhesive is Henkel Solvite Extra Strong Wallpaper Adhesive. It takes 20 seconds to mix and is ready to use in 2 minutes. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg and you can buy it from most well known diy shops. If you have trouble finding it, you could try these guys http://www.decoratingwarehouse.co.uk I know these guys stock it because I ordered from here a couple of weeks ago.
