Clorox
®
Ultra Bleach to 1 gallon of clean 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 products 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. For strippability, no
primer is required when hanging strippable fabric-backed vinyl wallcovering over bare drywall; however, adhesive must
fully cure (approximately four to six weeks) prior to stripping. If uncertain, priming is always recommended to assure
proper surface preparation, easiest installation, optimum finished results and damage-free removal.
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 either SHIELDZ Universal,
SHIELDZ Universal PLUS, Z-54 Wallcovering Primer with Tack, SHIELDZ Clear Acrylic Wall Size or SHIELDZ
Oil-base Wallcovering Primer prior to wallcovering installation. Metal surfaces should be primed with rust inhibiting

Primer.
Existing Vinyl Wallcovering - This product is not intended for hanging wallcovering over existing vinyl wallcovering
without the use of a primer. For hanging directly over vinyl without priming, use SureGrip 127 Vinyl Over Vinyl
Wallcovering Adhesive according to label instructions. For hanging lightweight wallpaper or borders directly over
unprimed vinyl, use SureGrip Universal Adhesive, SureGrip Border Adhesive for Wallpapered Surfaces or
PREPZ

Pre-Pasted Wallpaper and Border Prep & Adhesive.
Textiles and Delicate Wallcoverings - Take special care to keep the adhesive off the face of wallcovering. Some
wallcovering can be stained by water alone. Test for stain resistance prior to the installation and hang according to
manufacturer's instructions.
Coverage - One gallon of adhesive will hang up to 4 to 5 double rolls or 280 sq. ft. Spread rate may differ with various
backings.
Dry Time - Drying time will vary depending on the wallcovering type, temperature, ventilation and humidity of the room.
Cleanup - 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 Cleanup - Clean tools with warm water.
Storage/Shelf Life/Disposal - Protect from freezing. Always keep the container tightly closed and store in a cool
