Okay, so I finally got my hands on the Roman Pro-880 wallpaper paste. I’d heard good things, and my last project had some… issues… with the paste, so I was eager to try something new. Let’s see how it plays in my work today.
Getting Started
First things first, I opened the bucket. The consistency looked pretty good – not too thick, not too runny. You know, that perfect “pudding” kind of vibe? Yeah, that’s what I’m getting at here. I gave it a good stir with a stick I had lying around, just to make sure it was all mixed up nicely.
Applying the Paste
I used my trusty paste brush – nothing fancy, just a regular wide brush – and started applying it to the back of my wallpaper. I gotta say, it went on really smoothly. No clumps, no weird streaks, just a nice, even layer. That’s a big win right there, because nobody wants a lumpy wall, right?
One thing I noticed was that it didn’t dry out super fast. Some pastes, you feel like you’re in a race against the clock, but this one gave me plenty of time to work. I could position the wallpaper, smooth it out, and make sure everything was lined up perfectly without feeling rushed.
The Results
After I got all the wallpaper up, I stepped back to admire my handiwork (and let it dry, of course). Seriously, it looked great. No bubbles, no peeling edges, just a smooth, professional-looking finish. It’s the kind of result that makes you feel like you actually know what you’re doing, even if you’re just a DIYer like me.
Clean Up
Clean-up was a breeze. I just rinsed my brush and bucket with water, and everything came off easily. No scrubbing, no weird residue, just… clean. That’s how it should be, people!
- Easy to apply.
- Good consistency.
- Smooth and dry.
So, yeah, I’m definitely a fan of the Roman Pro-880. It made the whole wallpapering process way less stressful, and the results speak for themselves. If you’re looking for a reliable paste that’s easy to work with, I’d say give this one a shot. You might just love it as much as I did!
