Yes. Thin down some clear adhesive to use as an 'activator'.

Re: Prepasted Wallper
Just to elaborate on what PWG says, test a little bit of the paper by wetting the back. If there seems to be a LOT of pre-paste on it, I would advise against adding more paste. This situation burned me recently
There is no consistency as to how much pre-paste is on a paper, even from the same manufacturer. Some prepasteds need a full coating of additional paste, some need only to be wetted with a wet roller and NO additional paste. Test first, please |
