I always thinned cellulose paste with water and pasted all pre-pasted papers. Some of that stuff is so thin that if I used the paste straight out of the bucket, once it dried I could see some paste lines. The thinned paste will activate the pre-pasted surface while adding a very thin layer of paste which will allow easy manipulation of the sheet on the wall. It can be a bit of trial and error until the mix is just right for each particular paper so try to start in a non-conspicuous area of the room. Tried the water bath - once! Never did that again.
I would allways use a very thin paste for pasting pre pasted vynal, I allways have a bucket of warm water and a cellulose sponge as in the past I ended up with paste stains (only once) 😂 never again
i look at it this way if the corner looks bad when you level it let the sheet run unlevel. whats the point of having a straight sheet if the obvious corner looks bad and draws your eye. especially if the pattern isn't something noticeable if it's crooked
Spencer - How do you wallpaper a double inside corner? So, instead of having 90 degree corners, my house has two 45 degree angles to make a corner. Worried about bubbling in the corners.
Spencer - Thanks for all of your help and for taking the time to personally respond to my emails with advice! You’re a class act and great at what you do. Thanks for taking the time out to give a bit of advice to a novice like me! Again - thank you!!!
Good job Spencer , I allways pasted prepasted wallpaper thats how I was taught by good tradesmen like yourself
As a painter and decorator for over 20 years its reassuring to see it's not just me that comes across these challenges

That spirit level is good for another important reason it’s completely square at the top not rounded with a rubber fitting!
Great point.

I’d love to experience your beautiful country for a year! And work there with all of you.
