Got some very expensive Tracey Kendall hand painted wallcoverings to hang .... $1200.00 for four drops, very nice ..... Paper front fabric or similar to on back. Has a whispy look to it ... No hanging instructions, nothing. Emailed the manufacturers for their recommendations and haven't heard a thing. Don't want to get the glue wrong any ideas guys??

IF it's actually glue it's probably wrong. I would wait till you hear from the manufacturer, that way you're somewhat covered.

Wallpaper glue is basically all the same. It's all water soluble and pretty much all works the same way. Just make sure the wall covering is not pre-pasted.

:no: I would highly disagree. It all might be water soluble, but there are definitely different pastes for different applications. You gonna put a clay on a silk, or wheat on a type 2 vinyl?

As for the OP, I couldn't really tell by the Tracy Kendall website as to what they are actually printed on. It sounds like a pulp or something fairly delicate. Might look into using Roos Ecofix P7 or a 85%wheat/15%clay mix.

Just a post in total agreement with PWG about all wallpaper PASTES not being the same. (glues, btw, are not what we use with wallpaper). And, FYI, I always use paste with pre-pasteds - just adjust the amount and viscosity dependant on the characteristics of the pre-paste.

As a friend said about wallpaper, "everything depends on everything else"

If it's a fabric backed paper, then a heavy duty clear or clay or a mix would do well. If it's a pulpy paper-paper like PWG says, it may need a clay and wheat mix or it may need to go the other way with a mix of cellulose and Pro 880.

As my friend said, "everything depends on everything else".

Any further info ? heavily inked ? Water sensitive inks? Need liner ? Pre-trimmed?

I agree that there are differing types of PASTE for different papers.
The manufacturer recommendations is a always a good place to start but not always the last stop.

Apply a test piece if you are unsure.
