1. Prepare surface under pasting by paper wall covering. For this purpose it is necessary to remove old wall-paper, whitewashing or paint from walls. It is easy to remove old paper wall covering by means of the palette after wetting of walls with hot water. Whitewashing can just be washed away.

Pokleyka of paper wall covering is quite admissible on surface, otgruntovanny liquid wallpaper glue. It is optional to use special priming mix.
