Can you add paste to pre-pasted wallpaper?Updated 3 months ago

Yes, you can use wallpaper paste on the back of prepasted wallpaper if needed. While prepasted wallpaper typically has an adhesive that activates with water, adding wallpaper paste can be helpful in certain situations, such as:


  1. Ensuring Better Adhesion: If the prepasted adhesive seems insufficient for the surface you're working on (e.g., textured walls or high-moisture areas).
  2. Smoothing Application: Paste can make it easier to slide and position the wallpaper correctly on the wall.
  3. Reinforcing Durability: For high-traffic areas or places where the wallpaper may need extra staying power.


Make sure to use a paste compatible with the wallpaper material. Apply a thin, even layer of paste to the back of the wallpaper using a brush or roller before installation.
