Glass-fibre and heavy wallcoverings are stiff and their seams show, so the adhesive has to allow time for adjustment and leave no marks. LACRYSIL Lux Adhesive is a ready-to-use acrylic adhesive made for these wallcoverings, with no mixing needed.

Which wallpapers it holds

Glass-fibre wallcoverings and glass fabric, paintable wallpaper, non-woven and polyester-backed wallpaper, vinyl and textile wallpaper, embossed, structured and tufted wallcoverings, jute fabric and other heavy papers. Suitable bases are concrete, foam concrete and plastered or skimmed surfaces in dry rooms. Painting these wallpapers is covered in “Which paint for paintable wallpaper”.

How to use it

The adhesive goes on the wall as a continuous layer of about 0.3 mm. The wallpaper stays dry and does not stretch, so seams do not open up as it dries. For 30 minutes the sheet can be slid, pattern-matched and smoothed of bubbles. The adhesive is milky white in the tub and dries clear, leaving no white marks at the seams. Consumption is 0.14–0.3 kg/m², drying takes 24 hours and application is at +5…+35 °C. Once dry it withstands -40…+80 °C. Packs are 2.5, 5 and 10 kg, tools wash with water and shelf life is 18 months.
