How to Apply Paste to Wallpaper
Nowadays, most wallpaper comes with the back pre-pasted. But, sometimes, you find some that
are not pre-pasted. My grandfather was a wallpaper hanger and had great pride in his ability to hang
wallpaper.
Get the correct adhesive paste for the job. Some papers, such as vinyl, require a specific glue paste.
Mix powdered wallpaper paste in a separate bucket before pouring it in to the pasting bucket or
roller tray.
Stir them well with a stirring stick or any other tool and make sure that you remove all the lumps, but
don’t mix it too long - you may put air into the mix.
Pour this liquid adhesive directly into a bucket or roller tray.
Lay a strip of wallpaper - already cut to size, pattern side down - on a long, flat, dry table.
Let one end of the paper flop over the edge of the table.
Use a paste brush or a paint roller to apply the paste to the half of the paper that remains flat on the
table, make sure you cover the whole section.
Fold the section you just pasted over on to itself and slide the dry section of the paper on to the table.
Apply the paste.
Fold the next section on to itself and then fold the two halves against each other, being very careful
not to crease the paper.
This process is called 'booking.' Booking keeps the paper moist, and prevents the paste from falling
onto the floor.
Set the paper aside in a clean spot for 5 minutes then hang it on the wall
Tips:
Let the paper set after applying paste.
This process allows the paper to expand or shrink before you lay it on the wall.
As soon as each strip of wallpaper is booked and set aside, use a clean, wet sponge to clean the
table.
Wear gloves if needed.
Keep solvent away from children.
How to Repair a Ceramic Tile Floor
Visit a local flooring supply store or home-improvement store to find a tile to match and replace the
damaged tile.
Take the cracked or damaged tile with you to get the closest possible match of style and color in the
replacement tile.
Get some adhesive and grout mix for the job.
To remove the existing tile, scrape out the grout from the joints around the tile with a grout saw.
Break up the old tile or the cracked tile with a hammer or a chisel. Then, remove all the pieces from
under the edge of the piece.
Remove the tile pieces and then scrape out the old adhesive with a putty knife or paint scraper so
that you have a smooth level surface for the new tile.
Be very careful to not damage the surrounding tiles.
Make sure the floor beneath the tile is structurally sound. Correct any squeaks or loose flooring.
Spread adhesive on to the back of the new tile with a notched trowel or putty knife.
Scrape off any extra adhesive.
Press the tile firmly into place so it's level with the surrounding tiles. Let the adhesive set overnight, or
as directed by the instructions for the type of glue or adhesive that you use.
Grout and seal the joints. You can use a fingertip or squeegee to apply the grout. Use sanded grout
for floor tiles or tiles with wide joints, and un-sanded grout for wall tiles.
Let the grout set for 15 minutes.
Sponge excess grout and smooth joints.
Let the tile dry for 24 hours.
Grout can now be coated with clear waterproof grout sealer, which helps to prevent staining, mildew
and rot.
Tips:
When hammering or removing the damaged tile, avoid hammering too hard or you may damage the
substrate, crack the grout or even damage the adjoining tiles.
Clean up any excess grout before the tile dries.
Purchase a few extra tiles (it will help you if you break a tile while working)
Safety Tips:
Wear goggles for eye protection.
Wear Gloves to protect your hands.
Keep tools away from children.

The above is an extract from the ebook Handywoman's Home Repairs.
The author, Gloria Rae, is a woman and she writes this ebook for women. Listen to what else she
has to say about being a handywoman.
Women and home repair can mix!
In fact, if you take away the heavy or super-awkward movements, women can do a whole lot of
fixing.
You can have fun and save money, too.
It feels good and powerful to be able to do things for yourself.
I started learning how to fix things at a very young age. It seemed that, if I ever wanted anything
done when I wanted it done, I had to do it myself. You know how long you can wait, don't you?
Years ago, I was pregnant. My kitchen sink was broken and my husband kept saying he was going
to fix it. So, I'd haul the dishes to the bathtub with a dishpan. My back ached as you well can
imagine. It was awkward and it made me angry.
But, I had been raised that women were to listen to their husbands.
Times have changed and so have I. After several months and me (with a new born daughter and a
three year old) doing dishes with the dishpan in the bathtub, my husband fixed the sink in fifteen
minutes.
It took him fifteen minutes to fix a sink that I could not use for five months! I was livid.
And so, my journey began. I not only learned the skills that I needed, but I made a small business
out of painting apartment buildings, created an income and became independent.
