Frequently Asked Questions

How much area will one packet of Solvite paste cover?

Coverage varies by product and wallpaper type, but typically one packet of Solvite All Purpose Paste will hang approximately 5-6 standard rolls of wallpaper. Heavy vinyl wallpapers may require more paste per roll, reducing overall coverage.

Can Solvite adhesives be used on all wallpaper types?

Solvite offers different formulas for different wallcoverings. Always check the product label and your wallpaper manufacturer's recommendations. Standard paste suits most papers, whilst vinyl and heavy-duty wallpapers require stronger formulations.

How long does mixed Solvite paste last?

Once mixed, Solvite paste should be used within 7-10 days when stored in a sealed container. Always cover the paste between use to prevent a skin forming on the surface.
