I’m so impressed. Wonderful techniques, Mr Colgan. I Love how you note that every time when hanging wallpaper, not to be cocky because of the tendency for different things or issues to arise with different varieties of wallpaper.
Im a 28 yrs exp. Installer. And you are absolutely right. Great videos keep it up
What a compliment from a veteran like yourself! Thank you so much
keep calling out those people who make nasty comments to other decorators . It is not neccesary to be nasty if there is a criticism to be made. You are very gracious, and it's a shame that others are not so considerate when commenting.
Cant get enough of this amazing work and awesome techniques shown by Spencer!!
Different countries appear to use different paste/ glue systems to apply the wallpaper on different surface wall finishes.
Plus different prepping of the wall systems.
"To get the seams just right, you need to know the Time, Paste, Paper ratio".
So how would I get this information for my wallpaper project?
How does one tell how quickly the wallpaper is absorbing the paste??
I can tell when the paste is drying because the strip is no longer 'moveable' for adjustment.
Also, "Clay based glue when you're using dark pigmented colors".
Why can't clay based be used on lighter color paper??
Doesn't it dry clear?
The coolest part of your video was matching the patch piece at the bottom by cutting through the dark color....Wow! Flawless! Impressive!
A splice will suffice if done nice very true Spencer I love watching you work as you know we never stop learning you have actually shown me a few techniques that impress me and I have worked with some excellent tradesman
too much pedantic waffle....best videos...concise, precise and clear.
Hey SC You are A great wallpapering installer And A good teacher!!!
Life is so much enjoyable with decent quality materials, I use Beeline ready mixed wallpaper adhesive so much better than traditional paste by far as you say traditional paste is just too wet wich will expand the wallpaper

Fantastic videos! Much love from the UK at 0430 AM!
Great job Spencer
Very helpful tips, COOL SPLICE
Hi love your videos. Maybe a silly question but is our ready mixed tub that we get here in the uk clay based eg beeline products?
Thank you for tricks
I didn't know Christopher Walk an knew so much about wallpaper
2 days ago, I put up backing paper , I needed to paste the wall aswell as paper, it was drying into the wall too quickly, anyway it worked fine, seams stayed tight, yesterday I was getting a little more done, so new bucket of paste same make, I thought I'd make the paste thicker this time, went up a lot better, bubbled more on application but got it bubble free, this morning I have gaps on my seams from yesterday, its even peeled from the wall on one peice at the top, it's just backing paper but iam pissed, never since I was 15yrs old iam 52 now have I had this issue , not sure to fill it or rip it down
Ive painted my walls and my paper has still shrank !
What do you think to the wallpapers where the seams simply won’t disappear and you can see them up close? This happens especially on white wallpaper
Spenser, por favor edita tus vídeos con subtítulos en español, saludos Dios te bendiga
beautiful
How ever. When installing phillip jeffries. Japanese silk. Is the same issue. But.... clay stains. The paper. What is your advise on that?
I would mist the material with water. Just a mist! Apply the adhesive to wall obviously and the 2 should bond well. Let adhesive set till just tacky.
repairs...go theru any busy section not plain bckground
Great explanation Spencer many thanks, how does it go with open seams on a undulating wall ? in the UK many walls are old and undulating
Thanks Michael. Always a pleasure! Tell me...what’s an undulating wall?
As usually great content Spencer.
Have you ever hung Scalamandre Zebra wallpaper Spencer?
If yes what's the booking time for it.
My Pal has a nightmare with the wrinkles not going away after two days of drying in warm house.
He hung it over linining paper that was bone dry. Both lining and Scalamandre were glued with Roman 880.
Any help please.
Your fan from Ireland.
So sorry. Never worked with it.
Thank you for watching.
Wow great explanation how and when to use Roman 774!. Spencer, got a question, once you said that you have used Roman's 880 and 838 interchangeably (if I'm not wrong). Do you still agree with this? If not, when do you advice using 880 and 838? Thanks.
Yes sir! Luis, my YT friend....I still agree. Because it’s still the case. I’m told, although I have yet to see this to be true for myself, that 880 and 838 have one difference and that is that 838 produces less bubbles.
Sometimes the store does not have 880 and so I get the 838 but both work the same for me
Great! Thanks Spencer for sharing your experience again. I'm sorry for my late response, some how I missed your answer. Now, according to the specs, 880 is strippable and 838 doesn't. However I have removed wallpaper installed with 838 and it shows strippable characteristics. Would 880 be stripped even easier? Have you removed 880? Thanks.
How do you keep from getting the glue on the front of the wall covering.
1. Although there is no need to keep paste off of all wallcovering, you would:
A. Avoid pushing it out from under the paper.
B. Roll on the paste without rolling over the back onto the pattern side.
@@spencercolgan Thank you Spencer
What I really wanted to know was, on commercial wall covering how do you keep the clay base off the front of the paper when you're pasting it. Because once you get the clay base on there it stains the paper.
Roseann Anderson, you roll it on the backing or put it on a pasting machine and be very diligent Roseann to keep that glue away from the front. I know. Not a breakthrough! But. That’s what I do.
Roseann, if you stain your vinyl, rake Can of coke a cola, mix a can of water with a an of coke and this removes most marks!!!
Roseann. Check out this video:

Okay. This is at the time of installing new wallpapers. But what about if this occurs a couple months after new wallpapers were installed? How do you fix that?
It doesn’t happen months later. It happens within the first few hours after hanging each sheet. You have to nurse the seams, meaning, go back and check as you continue to install it. This is what I said to do at the end of this installation. Please review the video.
@@spencercolgan In my country we don't have that type of glue... And I had an experience, after installation of wallpaper to my client he came and opened windows, because there were quite hot in the room and high humidity... next day when I came wallpaper did shrink.. I had to rip it, and do it again.... Another time I came to another of my clients, he did wallpaper on not even color wall and after that you could see the difference in parts of wall that the color under is not even... After these experience we always paint the wall. The wall like yours it would take me 30 min to paint. After that its only fast work with wallpaper and I'm done... And you know what else we do: we make cut in inside corners. Because most likely in some years wallpaper will be loose in inside corner if it wont be cuted. That is our experience and how we do it to get perfect results, guaranteed results in fast time - because time=money. And this method isn't mine... many contractors do like this and I have learned from my experience that it works better for me. Cheers :)
Good! Wallpaper Video♪ japan DIY UA-camr 「sigeoyazi」
Pros dont ask customers anything a splice is shotty
waller does slip and slide if it is primed with clear strippable glue
O dear paste all over front of paper 👎
William, that’s what happens when you’re a hustler and you’re working hard alone, and you want to teach people your craft, and you’re the only guy there doing the job in holding the camera at the same time. People like you are so negative that your comments are better off kept in your mind rather than come from your hand or your mouth.
That is why they make water and sponges by the way
