Presented as a thick white mass. Area of use: different types of wallpaper for finishing ceiling and wall surfaces.
Preparing the surface
It is necessary to thoroughly prepare the surface of the walls, namely, tear off the old wallpaper from them to perfection and remove the remaining pieces. If there are cracks, they must be plastered and then the walls must be carefully primed.
If the surface is too porous, you will need to apply several coats of primer. You can treat new walls in one or two layers, and old ones - at least two layers.
It is recommended to use only high-quality primer solutions, which will only increase adhesion.
Preparing the glue mixture
In order for non-woven wallpaper to cling tightly to the wall, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the proportional ratio of water to powder. Usually for household use they take a pack weighing 250 grams.
For it you will need exactly seven liters of water (necessarily at room temperature, and under no circumstances boiling water!
Otherwise, you will simply ruin the glue). Stages of manipulation: open the bag, pour water into the container, and gradually pour powder into it along its edges.
Next, slowly stir the mixture until the lumps are completely dissolved and set aside for five minutes to infuse. Then mix again and apply calmly.
Typically, the powder can dissolve quickly without using a mixer, and lumps and flakes will disappear in a matter of seconds.
This device can be used to speed up work. The consistency of the mass will be slightly cloudy and white. Don’t worry, because after drying the adhesive mixture will become transparent and invisible.”
Usually professionals prepare the mixture despite the instructions - they dilute the powder taking into account the condition of the walls and canvas.
If the wallpaper is thick and embossed, and the walls are a little rough, then you need the glue to be thicker (this will hide all the imperfections and increase the fixation of the material).
But do not overdo it with the thickness, because the higher it is, the more difficult it will be to apply and rub the glue.
Therefore, it is best for a beginner to navigate and strictly follow the instructions, and if there are any difficulties on the walls, it is advisable to seek the help of specialists.
Application of adhesives - instructions
In order to dilute the glue, you need to prepare a container of 5 liters or more (basin, bucket, pan). To stir, take a wooden stick, a spatula, the best option is a construction mixer. Take water strictly at room temperature; hot water will spoil the composition. For subsequent application you will need rollers and a brush.
Correct breeding

- pour the required amount of water into the container;
- slowly add the powder in small portions, stirring thoroughly;
- sprinkle the composition along the edges of the container, not in the center;
- after final mixing, leave the swelling agent for 3-7 minutes, as indicated in the instructions;
- Stir the glue again and get to work.
Material consumption
Packages of Kleo brand products vary in volume. The consumption will also vary depending on the specific type of glue. On average, gluing a standard roll 1.06 m wide and 10 m long requires 40-120 g of glue. Heavy canvases require much more material than light ones. One pack of product is usually enough for 20-35 square meters. m of area, the finished glue has a higher consumption.
You should calculate in advance the expected area of pasting, select the desired type of glue and determine the required quantity. This will avoid the problem of running out of funds during operation.
Treatment with adhesive solution
The glue must be applied not to non-woven wallpaper, but to the walls! To do this, use a brush or roller. It is recommended to have both of these devices in your arsenal, and operate them depending on accessibility to the locations.
Hard-to-reach places, such as joints, corners, areas near baseboards, are usually treated with a brush, and spacious rooms - with a roller. The layers of glue must be applied evenly, since due to the transparency of CLEO glue it is very difficult to follow.
To avoid missing areas, renovation amateurs are advised to first draw lines on the wall with a pencil according to the width of the canvas. In fact, the procedure for gluing non-woven wallpaper is not that complicated.
The main thing is to follow this order:
- start gluing the wallpaper, leaving a space of forty centimeters from the edge of the window (to be sure, it is better to draw a vertical line along the plumb line);
- apply glue to the wall, and apply the first strip of canvas along the drawn line (usually, experienced specialists paste walls from a roll);
- Carry out the same procedure for subsequent strips, while keeping an eye on the joints; if necessary, you can carefully brush the joints with a thin brush.
“Before starting work, it is necessary to close the room to avoid drafts, and the temperature was from +10 to +25 degrees (this way the glue can dry evenly).”
The importance of the preparation phase
In order for Cleo glue to set well and securely fasten the non-woven wallpaper to the wall, you should pay special attention to the surface preparation stage. First you need to conscientiously clean the wall of old wallpaper, paint, and plaster. After this, you need to start leveling the surface with plaster.
For good adhesion of the wallpaper, it is necessary to prime the wall. After completing this work and waiting for the primer to dry, you can begin gluing the walls with non-woven wallpaper.
