## Description

Review: Good Price - Good price on this paste. Perfect for 99% of wall coverings, Does not stain, easy clean up, great for paste machines. Goes far: 1 gallon will hang 8 to 10 single rolls of paper. If installing 54" vinyl roll a thin tac coat of paste on the wall let it dry then paste the paper very thin coat. It will act like contact cement. I felt sorry for the mail lady who had to carry the monster up my driveway. Very Heavy. (tip: Bring a fold-able hand cart next time)
Review: Best wallpaper adhesive! - My husband have started using this on all our residential wallpaper installs and it’s definitely the best. Spreads very easy using a paint roller and doesn’t dry too quickly. Works well with papers and vinyls. Easy to clean with water
