In a relatively short period of time, the brand showed itself on the market exclusively from the positive side.
Composition and purpose
Glue is intended for repair and construction work on gluing paper, cardboard, plywood products. The product is also used as an additive in construction mixtures. With a consistency of 1:7, it is used for priming surfaces.
The company launched the production of several types of glue, which differ both in composition and purpose. There are 4 types of wallpaper paste that are popular in the Russian market:

- Ready-to-use liquid adhesive. The product has a wide range of applications.
- Mixture with methylcellulose for use with non-woven and vanilla wallpapers.

How to do the job correctly
Before gluing, it is recommended to prepare the primer mixture and apply the liquid with a brush or roller. This will strengthen the base of the surface to be treated. In order for the wallpaper pasting solution to be uniform, without clots and lumps, it is necessary to mix it thoroughly.
Leave to stand for a minute or two and stir again until a homogeneous composition is obtained.
The glue is applied in a thin layer on one of the surfaces. The canvas is firmly pressed to the wall, trying to combine seams and patterns. If this cannot be done immediately, you can correct the position of the wallpaper within 10 minutes. Glue is added to dry building mixtures in a ratio of 1:10. We must not forget that they can be incompatible.To avoid spoilage of a large amount of product, it is better to prepare a small solution first. The formation of lumps indicates incompatibility.

Additional tips
The choice of glue and work on its application requires certain knowledge of the master. Interior designers may find the following additional tips helpful:
- it is better to buy powder glue. It's profitable. It makes it easier to regulate the consistency of the solution;
- the specified proportions must be respected to achieve the quality;
- when buying glue, take into account the level of humidity in the room;
- it is better to buy special tubes for joints;
- buy glue with a PH of at least 5-7.
When choosing an adhesive, attention should be paid to the composition. For plaster and putty surfaces, a product based on carboxymethylcellulose is suitable. The modified starch in the adhesive does not promote adhesion to wood and concrete substrates.
