Liquid wallpaper is a rather interesting kind of finishing material, suitable for wall cladding. The composition includes cellulose, silk, granules, sequins and dyes. The basis of the wallpaper is cellulose glue CMC or acrylic. By the method of application, this material is rather closer to decorative plaster than to wallpaper. Apply it by using a trowel, spatula or special float.
Many owners trust finishing their walls only to experienced masters, while sticking can be done on their own, saving quite a lot of money. How to paste liquid wallpaper yourself? About this below.
How to make a liquid wallpaper?
First you need to prepare the composition. To do this, pour the contents of the container into a deep container, pre-filled with the right amount of water. Mix only one bag at a time. Part of the content is strictly forbidden.
Mix the wallpaper preferably with hands. When using a drill, long fibers can break, which will affect the appearance of the walls. After the liquid is evenly distributed over the mixture, cover the container with a lid and leave for 6-8 hours.
Sticky liquid wallpaper by own hands
For application you will need a trowel and a spatula. To control the smoothing of the wallpaper and make different applications use a special plastic grater with a narrowed cloth.
The process of gluing resembles the application of plaster. The solution is typed with a small spatula, then it is rubbed against the wall. As a result, you should get a layer of two mm thick. The composition is glued in small patches, which are added to the applied area. To make the drawing homogeneous and symmetrical, it is necessary to equalize all portions with movements with a twisting in a circle.
During the repair with your own hands, carefully distribute the liquid wallpaper in the corners. Level them in all directions and only after the entire wall is filled walk on them with a wetted grater.
