self-mix solvite all purpose

[TryC]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know how long I can save unused mixed solvite paste for? i.e. I mixed some yesterday to size the walls, and I didn't end up using it all (I only mixed half a packet), and I still have quite a bit left. Can I still use this to hang the lining paper? but adding more mix to the paste to make it thicker?

 

Or shall I bin it and start from scratch?

 

Any tips would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Generally wall paper paste is ok or even better next day. Best keep a few wet cloths over the bucket overnight.

 

I don't recommend adding more to ready mixed paste as likely to go lumpy.

thanks for the advice!

 

I only thought maybe to add some mix because the one I mixed for sizing was a more watered down version and was then worried if I used this mixture, the lining paper wouldn't stick as well?
