This stuff is the best and works amazing
I was told this was the best brand to buy for wallpaper so I purchased it on Amazon and it came in very quickly very easy to use it dries quickly. It’s very thick in the bucket and doesn’t drip everywhere and it goes on the wall easily. It is a little messy so you just have to be careful when using it not to let it get all over but to me that would happen with any type of glue. Quality is amazing and it holds the wallpaper in place. The size of the bucket is a little bigger than a paint bucket.

Excellent Product
I used the Roman Pro-838 Heavy Duty wall paper adhesive to install a full wall mural. The mural is heavy vinyl and did not come pre-pasted. I had never installed wall paper that needed a brush/roll-on adhesive, but this went swimmingly well. A little bit of a learning curve to know how much is enough and how much is too much, but after the first two strips, the rest was a breeze. tacky enough that the paper doesn't unroll and still able to move it a little to get the pattern and edges aligned just right. I would definitely recommend this product for installing medium to heavy weight wall paper.

Easy to use and great adhesion, but…
Absolutely great heavy duty glue, but a bit of a “wet dog” smell. It’s very thick consistency, which makes it just a tiny bit hard to paint on, but not a problem, because it gives amazing results. I use this for all my silk and cloth like wallpaper. I recently had to remove one of my wall mural with this glue and it was very easy. Cleaning the glue was not as bad either. A steam cleaner would come in handy as well. I however had no difficulties with a bucket of hot water, dishwashing liquid and couple tablespoons of baking soda, and a double sided sponge with a rough side. Overall great glue and adhesion. I highly recommend it and have purchased many so far.

Very easy to use and clean up
I ordered this to help adhere pre-pasted wallpaper to paneling, after which I mounted on the ceiling of my entry. Sounds strange, but it was paintable, textured wallpaper that looks just like ceiling tiles and was cheaper than buying ceiling panels. I tried just using the wallpaper and water method like the instructions said, but the wallpaper didn't stick very well and was flimsy once it got wet. So here's what I did: I poured some of this wallpaper adhesive into a paint pan and added some water to make it a little more runny. I didn't think it needed to be quite as thick as it was - kind of a cross between Elmer's school glue and rubber cement. This is totally clear and like a gel. I then used a 4" paint brush and brushed the adhesive on the paneling in small sections, pressing the wallpaper on as I went to smooth out bubbles or wrinkles. I did not wet the wallpaper first. It worked great! I could reposition the wallpaper by lifting it up and moving it slightly and then pressing it down again, and it did not rip the wallpaper like it had when I was using only water. I let it sit for a few hours (I didn't have the paneling on the wall at this time, it was laying down on sawhorses). After a few hours I set the panels up on edge propped against the wall and let them dry overnight. The next day I installed the paneling on my ceiling, and it turned out very good. The wallpaper stuck and I now have a textured ceiling, ready to paint. Cleanup was very easy - the glue washed out of my paint brush with simply warm water (although I added some dish soap just to make sure), and it wasn't sticky or anything after the brush was dry. You can't tell I used the brush to apply glue. Same with the paint pan, rinsed out with warm water. I also like that this glue is clear and dries clear. I got a bit of glue on the wrong side of the wallpaper and it dried clear and you can't tell that there is glue there. I found this very easy to use, I didn't use the whole gallon (although I may have if I hadn't mixed it with water), and would definitely recommend this to make ANY wallpapering job so smoother. Much easier than the dip in water method.

Great glue!
Great glue! Thick, doesn’t run and you dont have to put it on the paper and then wait a few for it to get tacky. I decided to cover up my bathroom’s pink tile as a short term solution (I dont like pink LOL) until it’s time to start the bathroom gut job/reno. I ordered this thicker wallpaper/vinyl that would cover and last until I got to this part of the house. I’m very happy with the results. One hint/suggestion if you plan on covering tile - do not apply the wallpaper directly to it. Its best to buy a roll of brown paperbag paper and glue that to the wall first - this will allow the wallpaper to go on smooth and you wont be able to see the grout lines through it when the paper sets into them. The wall doesnt have to be perfect especially if you get textured paper like I did but covering most imperfections goes a long way. Another thing: this glue smell is strong! Please ventillate the area. Open a window. Use a fan. I didnt and it triggered a migraine which then raised my blood pressure. It NOT the glue’s fault I was an idiot - please note that. I’m just saying it as a reminder. The smell may not seem strong but they are fumes so better to ventilate. It also goes a long way but dont be stingy either - a thin layer will not be enough. And if youre using textured paper, do NOT press on it. This will flatten the pattern and theres no need to do so. Just place it at the top and gently put it on the glue going downwards. You’ll also have a few mins to readjust and move it around but after 4-5min the paper becomes moist with the glue and will tear. Be gentle. Hope this helped 🤓

Works great and easy to use!
This was really easy to work with. It's a thick gel that rolls on nicely and no strong odor. It was easy enough to move our wallpaper around to get it in the right spot and seems to be holding really well. We ran back over the seems a little after applying because we have textured walls and wanted the extra security.

Great product! Not messy or sticky. Made putting wallpaper up a breeze. After a year took some panels down - no damage to the paint or the wall.

Facil de aplicar, pega increible, no se desprende una vez instalado, utilize primero el pegamento en polvo, quiza no lo prepare bien pero el papel se despegó a las horas, con este pegamento, fue mucho mas sencilllo y no se ha dedpegado.
