Review: Great for wallpaper,needs better shipping method - I have been a professional wallpaper hanger for over 40 years, and I love this stuff! This is easy to use, lasts a long time in the can, and aids in being able to move the paper into position, it also helps when you remove the paper, it keeps the glue from sticking to the surface of the wallboard, sheet rock, etc. It sticks to this! This is basically clear paint, you can paint over it ,if you wish. I use it in all my jobs, Wallpaper supplies have become hard to find, in small quantities, so I was glad to find it here! One thing, though,desertcart needs to find a better way to ship it, one of my orders didn't arrive do to some mishap, and the other arrived with the lid loose, causing it to spill in the box it was shipped in. I was able to salvage most of it, so I didn't complain.But, desertcart, please look into a better way to ship paint cans! Shrink wrap, tape the lid down, extra bubble wrap?
Review: Makes difficult to hang paper stick - Had a ceiling in my house I have wanted to use the tin ceiling look wall paper on for years and tried some time ago with no luck, just couldn’t get it to stick. Recently had the opportunity to redo this room and found this product. What a difference it makes! I had no problems getting that paper up this time. I used it in conjunction with the Gardner Gibson vinyl over vinyl wall paper paste. Turned out perfect!
