APPLICATION DETAILS
Application conditions The surface, primer and adhesive have to be room temperature. The recommended fixing temperature of the air is +18 °C - 20 °C.
Preparation Use Presto LV filler as a filler for humid premises and Presto LF filler in dry premises. The absorbent surfaces have to be dry, clean, even and solid. Prime very porous surfaces with a mixture made of 1 volume part adhesive and 3 volume parts water. Fill holes, sand the surface and remove sanding dust carefully. For absorbent surfaces apply the adhesive as wet glueing.
Wash down non-absorbent surfaces such as vinyl, laminate or painted surfaces with Maalipesu cleaning detergent and rinse carefully. Fill holes and sand the whole surface. Remove sanding dust carefully. Depending on the conditions, let the adhesive dry a little bit after application e.g. about 15-30 minutes before fixing the covering.
Wallpapering Ässätex glass fibre wallpaper, textile or glass fibre based vinyl wallpaper, homogeneous, foamed PVC-wallcovering:
Stir adhesive well before use. Apply the adhesive with a roller on about 1 pelt wide at a time. Fix the covering well with upholstery roller or spatula, so that the airbubbles disappear. Set the pelts into the butt joint or joint on the wall.

Paperbased vinyl wallpaper:
Stir adhesive well before use. Apply the adhesive on the back of the pelt. Allow the wallpaper wet for about few minutes before fixing, do not fold the pelt. Fix by using butt joint.
