Walking tools

  • April 11, 2017

Tools and devices for the performance of wallpaper work cannot be attributed to the category of very complex. For example, a spatula (a small flat shoulder blade), with its help you can completely clean up and level the wall surfaces under the past.

There is still a fairly wide and flat brush or foam roller for spreading glue. To apply glue to curbs (decorative stripes covering the upper cut of the wallpaper bands), a handbrake is useful to you, which is a small narrow brush. And, of course, special scissors, in order to cut off the edges of the wallpaper, is preferably not the smallest.

A long cord may also come in handy (about a meter more than the longest wall in the pasted room). It will be necessary for the mark in the upper part of the wall of the horizontal line, along which it will be necessary to align the upper edges of the wallpaper. And if you attach a small load about two hundred grams (equal to a glass of water) to the same cord, then it can already be used to apply lines to the wall, but only vertical. For this, you can use a special construction plumb, if you certainly have.

You can also add a little pure rags here that will be useful to you to clean all the tools, for example, from wallpaper glue, at the end of the walls of the walls or a brush with a good hard pile to smooth strips of wallpaper, and, of course, the rail of the moderate length that can be used as a vertical ruler when gluing wallpaper.

The wallpaper glue should be applied with a wide brush on the back of the wallpaper strip and, if necessary, on the wall or ceiling, if their surface with many roughnesses (for example, just plaster). Instead of a wide brush, you can use a special foam roller or a wide brush, although this is less convenient.

To smooth the wallpaper strips at the gluing site, it is better to use a brush made using a horse hair. Just keep in mind that the length of the hair should be 4 cm, and the wooden base of this brush should be about 40 cm. Do not forget to pay your attention to the stiffness of the hair in the brush (should not be too hard), so as not to damage the newly glued wallpaper during smoothing. If there is no special brush, then the clothing brush will come.

To avoid “clamping” of wallpaper when cutting, use sharp scissors with a long blade.

The joints of the wallpaper bands should be rolled using a rubber roller, for example, a roller designed to roll photos. Remember that when smoothing the joints of the walls of the wallpaper with a rag, you can stretch the wallpaper. However, this will allow you to pull the strip a little, if it is necessary (the edge of the wallpaper to a not very successful place of the resulting joint).

When performing certain types of work, you may come in handy: a square, a steel ruler and a very sharp knife, if you have, for example, to work with materials twisted into dense rolls.

To roll out and spread the glued strips, a fairly flat surface with a length of 3 m and a width of 1 m may be useful. The door is suitable without a protruding pattern, which should be laid on 2 stools (latches and handles, it is necessary to remove) or a well -washed table (the simplest solution).

In extreme cases, you can even use the floor surface, it is better if it is covered with linoleum. Only in this case it will be necessary to wipe the floor after smearing several strips of wallpaper. But the back in this case “thank you” obviously will not tell you, because you have to do everything bent over.

In addition to all of the above, the tools for caring for wallpaper can serve: a foam sponge, which you will wipe the surface from the glue (you can replace with a regular rag), a rag for wiping your hands, a piece of sandpaper and a screwdriver. A pair of recent items can be useful for all kinds of cases, for example, in places where there are switches or sockets.
