Application – Use only when temperature is above 50ºF. Apply adhesive to the back of wallcovering with a brush, roller
or pasting machine. Smooth the adhesive evenly over the entire wallcovering. Make sure sufficient adhesive is on edges.
Avoid contact with the surface of embossed or delicate wallcovering. Book and hang wallcovering according to
manufacturer's instructions.
Drywall – Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove residual joint compound dust prior to priming.
Plaster – New plaster must age at least 90 days before hanging wallcovering. Prime prior to installation.
Painted Surfaces – For previously painted flat surfaces, apply SUREGRIP All-Purpose Adhesive & Wall Size as a
wall size. Mix as per directions above.
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

Primer. Before proceeding with any unusual conditions, consult your wallcovering or adhesive
supplier.
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

unprimed vinyl, use SUREGRIP Universal Adhesive, SUREGRIP Border Adhesive For Wallpapered Surfaces or
PREPZ Wallpaper and Border Prep for Pre-Pasted Paper.
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 – Spread rate will differ with various wallcoverings. See “Mixing and Coverage Chart”.
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
dry place at temperature between 40ºF to 100ºF. Normal storage life is one year. The disposal of excess or left over
product should conform to local laws regarding water-based products.
