SURFACE PREPARATION

Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free of dust,

grease, wax, oil, old wallcovering adhesive, mold and

mildew and other residue. Inspect the surface for paint

bonding, loose wallcoverings, damaged wallboard or

plaster. Remove old or loose wallcovering and residual

wallcovering adhesive with DIF Wallpaper Stripper.

Repair unsound surfaces. Seal loose paint or damaged

drywall and cured skim coats with Gardz High

Performance Sealer as needed.

Prime all surfaces (including oil-based paints, oil-based

primers or oil-based stain-kill coatings) with ShieldZ®
Universal, ShieldZ Universal Plus or ShieldZ

Clear Acrylic Wall Size or ShieldZ Oil-Base Wallcovering
Primer.

Mold & Mildew

Eliminate pre-existing mold and mildew by washing the

affected area with a solution of ¾ cup of bleach to 1 gallon

of water. Wear protection to prevent skin and eye contact.

Quickly wash off any solution that comes in contact with

your skin. Do not add ammonia or other cleaning agents to

the bleach solution. Rinse surface with clean water. Allow

surface to dry thoroughly before applying wallcovering.

Drywall

Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove residual joint

compound dust prior to priming. No primer is required

when hanging strippable fabric backed vinyl wallcovering

over bare drywall. However, adhesive must fully cure

(approximately 4-6 weeks) prior to stripping. If uncertain,

priming is always recommended to ensure proper

performance.

Plaster

New plaster must age at least 90 days before hanging

wallcovering. Prime prior to installation.

Glossy Surfaces

Glossy paint, paneling, metal, glass, plastic, etc. should be

primed with ShieldZ Universal, ShieldZ Universal Plus,

ShieldZ Clear Acrylic Wall Size or ShieldZ Oil-Base

Wallcovering Primer prior to wallcovering installation.

Metal surfaces should be primed with rust inhibiting

Bulls-Eye 1-2-3 Primer.

Existing Vinyl Wallcovering

This product is not intended for hanging wallcoverings

over existing vinyl wallcoverings without the use of a

primer. For hanging directly over vinyl without priming, use

SureGrip 127 Vinyl over Vinyl Wallcovering Adhesive

according to label directions. For hanging lightweight

wallpaper or borders directly over unprimed vinyl, use

SureGrip Universal Adhesive or SureGrip Border Adhesive

for Wallpapered Surfaces.

Textile/Delicate/Polyolefin/Polyester Backed

Wallcoverings

Take special care to keep the adhesive off the

face of textile or delicate wallcovering. Some wallcovering
can be stained by water alone. Test for stain resistance prior to

installation and hang according to manufacturer’s

instructions.

APPLICATION

Use only when temperature is between 50-100°F(10-38°C)

and the relative humidity is less than 85%. Adhesive

is ready to use but may be thinned with a maximum of 1

pint of water per gallon of adhesive for use with lightweight

non-pasted or pre-pasted wallpaper. Apply an even coat

using a roller, brush or pasting machine to the back of the

wallcovering. Make sure sufficient adhesive is on edges.

Avoid contact with the surface of embossed or delicate

wallcovering. Book and hang wallcovering according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.

COVERAGE

One gallon of adhesive will hang up to 4 to 5 double rolls

or 280 square feet. Spread rate may differ with various

backings.

CLEAN-UP

Remove excess adhesive on or around the wallcovering

immediately with clean water. Additional effort may be

required if adhesive is allowed to contact the surface of

embossed or textured vinyl. Close container tightly after each use.

TOOL CLEAN-UP

Clean tools with warm water.

STORAGE

Protect from freezing. Always keep the container tightly

closed and store in a cool dry place at temperatures

between 40-100°F (4-38°C).
