Wallpaper paste.

sweetheart · 2012-01-21T06:33:04+00:00

I am doing a lot of DIY at the minute. I have lost my DIY mate ( parent ...... yes, I have had another bereavement since last year, just before Christmas, please don't go there) , so I am on my own. OH hates DIY as well as gardening.So, I have paper and I have stripped walls in dining room ( this is because now my walls are not suffering condensation there I can try and get it sorted) . I have cleaned them down and even put a coat of fungicide on the affected bits in there.I have some old ( about three or four years) wallpaper paste. Its unopened. Completely sealed packets. Is it usable? I cant see a use by date on it.Doing that job this weekend. Thanks.

Can it Harry. She's at least as genuine as you are.

When I worked as a decorator the only threat was that the fungicide might go off. If the site is dry, we had no problem in using a generic and basic starch, whether that be potato or grain was immaterial.

You should have used Cornish sea salt or organic kelp.

Why? Wouldn't have expected either of them to hold wallpaper up...
