DIY repairs: how to glue a curb

One of the most popular ways to decorate walls has long been wallpapering. Whether you want to make your room unusual, or emphasize the chicness of the surrounding interior, all this can be achieved by combining the colors and textures of various wallpapers and borders.

Preparation for pasting

Before pasting the walls, we will prepare the following necessary tool:

- Ruler;

- Pencil;

- Building level (sometimes the ruler and the level are combined together);

- Masking tape;

- Sandpaper;

- Pressure roller;

- Stationery knife;

- Plumb line.

To pre-prepare the walls for wallpapering, it is necessary to remove defects from the wall surfaces (loose plaster, irregularities, chips and cracks). Removal is done by filling and stripping with sandpaper to obtain a smooth surface.

To make wallpaper glue, we dilute the dry mixture with water, in the proportions specified in the instructions. An important condition is that in order to get a ready-made wallpaper paste without lumps, which are difficult to dissolve later, you need to constantly stir the water in the container and pour the dry mixture into it. The finished glue should be allowed to stand for about half an hour, after which it can be used. Types of glue with up to a day of standing are prepared in advance, taking into account the cooking time.

Wall markings

While the glue is infused, we need to mark the walls. Considering, for example, an ordinary apartment with a ceiling height of 2.5-2.6 m., the curb should be glued to 1.05-1.1 m from the floor level, marking the marks in several places using a ruler with a level, which we then connect in one line. The unevenness of the curb sticker will only emphasize the height difference, so make sure to stick it strictly horizontally.

Border and Wallpaper sticker

The first thing to stick on the wall is a curb, applying glue not only to the wall, but also to the curb. Combining the lower part of the curb smeared with glue with the line on the wall, we apply it to the corner of the wall and glue it with a pressure roller. When making the sticker, do not stretch the entire curb at once, as this may cause it to peel off or tear due to stretched edges during drying.

After gluing the curb around the perimeter of the room, we paste the top wallpaper (wallpaper above the curb). When gluing, you can use a plumb line. For careful gluing of wallpaper, we glue a masking tape along the edge of the border. When the wallpaper is dry, we trim the uneven edges using a metal ruler and a stationery knife. The procedure for labeling the bottom wallpaper (wallpaper below the curb) is carried out using the same technology.
