- With walled paper, it is necessary to peel off all the old paper then wash off the old glue.
- With paint spraying, care should be taken when using glue, avoiding leaving a paste when peeling off the paper.
- To treat holes and cracks in the wall, widen the crack and fill them with mortar or insert a cardboard cover, wait for the paper to dry.
- With limited paper size, if you buy the self-adhesive stickers, note the edges of the paper so that the pattern suits each other. Paste each sheet and wait for 5 to 10 minutes to dry.
