What is booking?Updated 5 months ago

Booking is the process of folding wet, pasted wallpaper back-to-back and paste-to-paste, like an accordion; then allowing it to sit for several minutes. This allows the paper to expand and relax before applying to the wall, making the paper more maneuverable and minimizing the risk of air bubbles and exposed seams.

The wallpaper strip is laid pattern side down, then the top and bottom edges are folded in to meet in the center. During this process the glue will be activated.
