Frequently Asked Questions

How much wallpaper will one packet of Solvite paste cover?

Coverage varies by product and wallpaper type, but typically one standard packet of Solvite All Purpose Paste will hang approximately 5-6 rolls of standard wallpaper. Heavy-duty formulations may cover fewer rolls due to thicker application requirements. Always check the specific product packaging for accurate coverage information.

Can I use Solvite paste on all types of wallpaper?

Solvite offers different formulations for different wallpaper types. Standard paste works well for traditional papers, whilst vinyl and heavyweight coverings require their Extra Strong formula. Always match the adhesive to your specific wallcovering for best results, and check both the paste and wallpaper manufacturer's recommendations.

How long does mixed Solvite paste remain usable?

Once mixed, Solvite paste typically remains usable for 7-10 days when stored in a sealed container in cool conditions. However, for best results, mix only what you need for your immediate project. Ready-mixed products should be used within the timeframe specified on the packaging once opened.
