How to cut wallpaper strips
The standard width of non-woven wallpaper is 1 m, with this parameter it is quite easy to follow the gluing technology. There are also wide strips, they also have their advantages, but it is more convenient to glue a smaller format.
In order to properly cut the web of the roll, you need to accurately measure the height of the walls (together with the dismantled skirting board).
The roll can be cut into strips, taking into account the height and an allowance of 5 cm. This applies to cases with a single-color version, which is not particularly demanding to fit the pattern. You need to stand on a stepladder, attach the edge of the roll to the joint and unwind it. With a wallpaper knife or pencil, make a note below, along which the cut is made.

Another option involves matching the pattern. The excess on the top and bottom is removed with a knife after gluing the strip.
It happens that the drawing is divided into two parts from the edge of the strip, it is important to be able to distinguish between the right and left canvas when cutting and pasting.
We breed glue
Pour cold water into the bucket in the amount indicated on the package. Stir the solution with a wooden stick, creating a circulation. Glue is gently poured along the edge, continuing to stir.

Instructions from the masters for gluing non-woven wallpaper
A number of simple tips will help you to stick the wallpaper on a non-woven base correctly and evenly.
Applying glue to walls
When gluing non-woven fabric, glue is applied only to the walls. This is undoubtedly a convenient way. It is important to miss every centimeter without missing anything. They always process an area slightly wider than the glued strip, this will avoid lagging joints.
Apply with a roller

Sticking the strip and smoothing it
The first strip should lie perfectly, the evenness of the rest of the work depends on it. The vertical must be flawless!
The sheet is placed on top of the ceiling, gradually stretching it down. The connection can be improved by running with a trowel, squeezing the excess adhesive against the empty wall. If the texture of the wallpaper is deep, use a roller.

The remains from the bottom must be cut off, remembering that the skirting board will hide 3-4 cm. Excess wallpaper under the ceiling is also cut off, with some margin for the ceiling skirting board.
Important! The wallpaper is cut evenly by pressing the trowel against the corner. The knife cannot be torn off from the cutting line, only the spatula is moved.
Bonding the next strip
Excess glue is removed with a damp sponge. The fillet weld should be rubbed especially carefully.
All stripes will gradually be pasted

You can stick the second strip, butt to the already glued one. The interlining does not shrink after the glue dries, there will be no gaps. The joints are pressed with a roller.
Features of gluing wallpaper
The main thing is to maintain a strictly verified vertical, for this a plumb line is used. The wall is smeared with glue vertically, taking into account the width of the strip with a margin of 10 cm, and dry wallpaper is pressed against the wall.
Wallpaper is glued at the sockets without problems

The sockets must be de-energized before the start of the process, the covers are removed from them. The web is cut crosswise, the center of the slits is the center of the box. The edges of the slices should be brought inward, they will stick to the walls. It remains to screw the socket cover.
In the corners
In the corner of the panel, an overlap is glued, which is 2-3 cm, therefore it is better not to use a whole strip for this. The next strip is placed on another wall, and the overlap is cut with a knife along the vertical corner.

The final result of drying is influenced by the humidity in the room, how much the walls absorb moisture, and other factors. It will be better if the rush is eliminated and wait 48 hours. After this period, the walls are touched with their hands. A wet surface indicates that the coating is not ready.
It is better if the air temperature in the room is above + 15 ° С
