Brand Quelyd (Kelid)
The glue called Quelyd is a well-known French brand and is widely available in various wallpaper stores.
Let's find out more about this wallpaper glue, why it has filled most store shelves, why it is so good and whether it has any disadvantages. As we indicated earlier, the production of Kelid glue is located in France, in the EU zone. It was there that the first factory for the production of adhesives was built a century ago. The principles of production and the marketing strategy underlying everything were based on high quality products and their wide range.
Adhesive for vinyl wallpaper brand "Kelid" - Special vinyl
The range of building materials produced by the company includes, in addition to Kvelid glue for all types of wallpaper, seams, borders, means for removing them and other compounds.
In accordance with international standards, all products are mandatory certified, additional documents have already been received in Russia. The quality is confirmed by various certificates and standards of the ISO company quality management standard.
During its existence, the company's experience in the production of adhesive components has steadily grown. With experience came a new understanding of the product, the line expanded, and specialized formulations were produced.
Wallpaper glue for glass wallpaper of the Quelyd brand
Thanks to this, we currently have a line of Quelyd wallpaper adhesives, which includes adhesives for every type of wallpaper from paper to glass wallpaper, as well as additional options for joints and borders.
Versatility is one of the main criteria when evaluating a company’s products. Both professionals and ordinary people can use quelyd glues and sealants in their work.
Preparation of the adhesive mixture
Before use, Kelid glue must be prepared in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, which must be indicated on the packaging.
An approximate preparation principle is as follows:
- You need to pour the specified amount of clean, cool tap water into a clean container. After this, you need to start mixing the water using a construction mixer or a drill with an attachment, and gradually pour the dry mixture into the resulting funnel.
2. When the entire package has been poured out, it is necessary to continue kneading until you get a thick, homogeneous mass without lumps. With constant stirring, lumps will not form.
3. After preparation, the finished composition must be left to infuse (about 5-8 minutes). Before gluing the wallpaper, you need to mix the mixture a little again to ensure the required viscosity.
Advantages
Quelyd is a French brand whose products have gained wide popularity in our country. A similar material is sold in the form of a loose white substance, reminiscent of coconut flakes.
It consists of the following components:
- starch;
- bactericidal and fungicidal substances;
- cellulose additives.
Such material provides a low cost to the final product.
It should be noted that starch is not highly reliable, so this brand of glue is best used on surfaces that do not have strong defects and in combination with paper wallpaper.
For walls covered with lime mortar and when using heavy wallpaper, experts recommend other adhesive solutions.
The antiseptic substances included in the glue will protect the wall decor from the formation of mold and mildew.
The undoubted advantages of this material include a comfortable drying time. Quelyd hardens within a few hours, so you will have time to adjust the wallpaper and fix it as needed.
The glue has a fairly long shelf life. The prepared mixture does not lose its properties for three days. If you place it in a container and close it tightly with a lid, it will remain suitable for another two days.
Before use, you must carefully study the instructions on the package and dilute the adhesive mixture in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Advice
After diluting the powder with water in the appropriate proportions, mix the resulting solution thoroughly and vigorously so that a funnel is formed in the container.
The finished composition begins to thicken quickly, within 1-2 minutes.
It is applied to the wallpaper using a brush or roller from the center of the canvas to its edges.
Wallpaper gluing technology
First, a strictly vertical line is drawn on the wall. A plumb line is used for this. With an indentation from the corner, door jamb, window slope of 1.03 m, the distance is measured, and if the width is 1.06 m, then one meter is measured, or 0.50 m with a canvas width of 0.53 m.
This makes it possible to cut the canvas evenly at the door frame, window slope, and will also help maintain strict verticality of the wallpaper. The technology itself for working with non-woven wallpaper does not involve applying Kelid glue to the canvas itself.
Kelid special glue must be applied evenly to the walls with a special brush or roller, which must be selected with medium-length bristles. The entire area is treated with the solution, going beyond the drawn line. The spread strip should be slightly wider than the roll. It is convenient to cover corners, areas along the ceiling, floor, windows, doors with a brush, as is done in the photo below.
You can glue from a whole roll, but this is recommended only for those specialists who are not doing this work for the first time. The photo below shows an example of applying wallpaper from a roll to the ceiling.
The wallpaper should be applied to the wall along the marked line and smoothed with a brush. They must be folded along the floor, marking the cut location with the back of the scissors, and cut with a construction knife to fit a ruler.
If this process is performed by a beginner, then the wallpaper must first be cut into strips.
The canvas should be leveled from top to bottom, from the center to the edges. This removes any air bubbles and excess glue that may appear. The fold at the bottom of the covering along the floor must be marked with scissors and cut off with a construction knife when the canvas has dried. We apply the next strip end-to-end with the previous one.
We glue wallpaper with Quelyd glue
The manufacturer indicates on the packaging detailed instructions for preparing the composition. Mixing the glue is very easy. The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- Pour warm water into the container.
- Slowly stirring the water, add glue.
- Bring the mixture until smooth, without lumps. Leave for a few minutes.
- Mix again to make sure that the glue is viscous and thick.
Surface preparation
Walls to be glued must be dry and clean. If they were previously painted, sand them and wash them with detergents and wash them off with water.
We remove the remnants of the old coating (you can use a special product called Dissucol). We prime gypsum, drywall, wood and other absorbent surfaces.
Applying glue
Using a level, draw a vertical line, 50 cm away from the door or window (if the roll width is 53 cm) or 1 m (if the roll width is 1.06 m). This will help you cut the wallpaper exactly under the window or door frame.
We distribute the glue along the wall with a roller along the marked vertical line. It is necessary to go a little beyond the outlined border. Carefully coat the areas along the baseboards and corners.
Wallpapering
The gluing algorithm may have its own nuances depending on the type of canvas.
Let's look at the procedure using non-woven wallpaper as an example.
- We glue the roll (do not cut it into sheets) onto the wall, taking into account the vertical line.
- Smooth the material with a brush, moving from top to bottom and smoothing out air bubbles from the center to the edges.
- Using the back of the scissors, mark the fold of the fabric along the baseboard. Cut using a ruler and a wallpaper knife.
- We glue the next sheet butt to the previous one.
- The canvas can be painted no earlier than after 24 hours.
Instructions - how to glue joints
Sealing joints causes difficulties for many people. Quelyd glue for joints will simplify the task. It is sold ready-to-use and can be used to work with vinyl, paper and other types of wallpaper, and can be used for installing borders. The packaging is very convenient for treating hard-to-reach places.
Advantages of the composition:
- does not require breeding
- sets quickly
- does not spread,
- easy to use due to the thin tip.
The algorithm for gluing joints is as follows:
- Prepare the surface - it should be dry and clean.
- Apply a thin layer of glue to the walls or the back of the canvas.
- Leave the composition for 5 minutes, then press the canvas against the wall and the seam area and hold for several minutes.
- Remove excess composition with a damp sponge.

Alternative Axton wallpaper adhesive
Modern wallpapers are characterized by a huge range. They can be made from various materials, each of which has its own technical parameters. It goes without saying that regular glue will not work for all types of wallpaper.
Therefore, the choice of adhesive should be given no less attention than the process of selecting the decorative materials themselves
- Axton wallpaper adhesive is a high-quality new generation material, developed by the Leroy Merlin trademark. Used for gluing vinyl, non-woven, glass and many other types of modern wallpaper. Its characteristic features are good adhesive properties, the absence of harmful compounds, practicality and economy.
- Axton glue does not react chemically with paints and varnishes, due to which it retains its original properties for a long time. It is very easy to use this material - it is evenly applied either to the wall or to the canvas (depending on the type of wallpaper) using a roller or brush. It dries completely within a day after finishing work.

Rules of application
To get the desired result, it is important not only the quality, but also the correct use of the products. Therefore, you should consider the rules for using mixtures

The preparation of the adhesive mixture begins before applying it to the wallpaper or wall. The ratio of water and mixture is indicated on the packaging. The main steps are as follows:
- Water is poured into the selected container in the amount indicated in the instructions.
- Stir the water manually or with a special mixer.
- The powder mixture is poured into the funnel.

Stir the water manually or with a special mixer.
Surface preparation
Wallpaper should be glued to a leveled surface; for the required base, perform the following steps:
- The wall is cleaned of all types of contaminants and the old coating is removed.
- All cracks are sealed, protruding parts are leveled using sandpaper.
- If the wall is too smooth, then it needs to be sanded.
- If necessary, wash with an alkaline agent, then rinse with water.
- You can start gluing after it has completely dried.
If the wall is too smooth, then it needs to be sanded.
Applying glue and wallpapering
Before preparing the wallpaper sheets, you need to lay clean paper on the floor, measure the dimensions in advance, and cut the material according to them. If the canvases have large drawings or complex geometric images, then the joining of elements occurs on different wallpapers; cutting off the material is indispensable
If the pattern is not expressed and the mismatch of the parts is invisible, then they are not paid attention to when cutting. The finished sheets are stacked on top of each other, each sheet is placed face down slightly to the side of the previous one, they must lie for some time to straighten
The glue must be applied with a roller or brush; the layer is made thick, protruding slightly beyond the edges of the canvas. If the instructions for the wallpaper indicate applying glue to the surface, then apply it to the wall at a distance sufficient for several sheets.

Quickly stir the water to create a whirlpool, then continue stirring and slowly pour the contents of the bag over the edge of the bucket. Wait 10 minutes, then stir vigorously - the glue is ready.
APPLYING GLUE TO THE WALL
Using a plumb line, draw a vertical line on the wall at a distance of 50 cm from the window or door (with a roll width of 53 cm) or 1.03 m (with a roll width of 1.06 m). This will allow you to cut the canvas evenly and accurately at the level of the door or window frame. Apply the adhesive evenly to the wall using a medium-nap roller or wallpaper brush along the marked line, covering an area slightly larger than the width of the roll to be glued. Using a brush, coat the corners and along the baseboards well with glue.
Gluing wallpaper on a non-woven base
Stick the roll directly onto the wall, following the marked line. Do not cut the roll into sheets. Smooth with a brush from top to bottom and from the center to the edges, removing air bubbles. Mark the fold of the wallpaper along the baseboard using the back of the scissors. Cut the fabric along the ruler with a wallpaper knife. Glue the next sheet end-to-end with the previous one.

Wallpaper glue quelyd
Our whole life is not complete without repairs. What kind of renovation would it be without wallpapering? When choosing wallpaper glue, we pay attention to the manufacturer and quality.
Quelyd wallpaper glue is immediately ready for use, you just need to dilute it with water in a clean bucket, mix thoroughly and start gluing the wallpaper.
What are the advantages of quelyd glue?
•The structure of the adhesive is safe, so wallpapering can be done in the presence of other people;
•Easy to prepare;
•Excellent glide (wallpaper at the joint is easily adjusted);
•Suitable for wallpapering in the bathroom;
•Low consumption (1 bag per 5 rolls);
•Prevents the appearance of fungi.
Knowing all the advantages, you can safely trust kelid glue, but the question remains - what kind of wallpaper can be installed with this glue. There are quite a lot of these types of wallpaper, for example, it can be vinyl wallpaper, velor wallpaper, metallic wallpaper, Japanese straw, voluminous wallpaper for painting, etc.
The composition of quelyd adhesive for non-woven wallpaper includes modified starch and bactericidal additives. This is what gives the glue its translucent, oily appearance. The adhesive will take 24 to 48 hours to set after application to the wall. The setting time depends on the temperature and humidity in the room.
How to glue wallpaper with kelid glue?
The peculiarity of kelid glue is that it must be applied directly to the wall with a roller or brush.
First, we clean the wall of dust, paint and other contaminants (old whitewash); for wooden walls, you must first prime them. Next, measure the width of the wallpaper, apply Quelyd to the required amount of the wall and smooth it with a special roller (to remove air). Then we prepare the next piece of wallpaper and the wall on which we will glue the wallpaper. When the canvas is glued, you need to smooth out the joints. It should be noted that painting of wallpaper should be done only after 24 hours.
Some tips for using kelids.
Quelyd adhesive for non-woven wallpaper should be used in rooms with a closed window, because... a draft can ruin everything.
The minimum temperature for using kelid glue is +5°.
To clean the walls from dirt and get rid of grease, you need to wash them with water diluted with bleach, and then rinse with cold water.
The shelf life of the glue is unlimited if you store it in a closed bag in a dry place.
Tools can be easily washed in warm water.
Excess glue protruding along the edges of the wallpaper should be removed with a clean, damp sponge.
Quelyd is not suitable for paper-based wallpaper.
You should work with gloves.
If it gets into your eyes, you should immediately wash them with plenty of water.
The time for quelyd glue to set depends on its own temperature and the types of products being glued:
- The lower temperature slows down the hardening of the quelyd adhesive mixture and significantly increases the viscosity of the finished composition.
- If the room temperature is high, this point can shorten the life of the solution. In this case, the viscosity of the quelyd adhesive will become reduced, which will cause problems in joining the materials.
- The speed of setting directly depends on the porosity of the base: the greater the porosity of the surface, the faster the adhesive composition dries.
Varieties
For each type of wallpaper there is a mixture with a special composition. So it makes sense to look at each one individually to understand exactly which product to use in a particular situation.
Express
This type of glue is suitable for all types of paper wallpaper. One package of this glue is enough to cover a total area of 35-40 square meters, which is 8 rolls.
Among other manufacturers, paper versions are considered rare, so universal glue is often offered. However, universal adhesive does not take into account the specifics of the material of such wallpaper, and Express from Kelid was invented to fill this niche.
Super express
Unlike the usual express mixture, super-express glue is specially designed for lightweight paper wallpaper, as well as for lightweight vinyl. The specificity of the composition allows you to apply a thin layer of glue for good adhesion to the surface, which guarantees the absence of marks on the wallpaper, and also reduces the consumption of the mixture.
Glass wallpaper
Glue with a high degree of adhesiveness. Ideal for both fiberglass wallpaper and textile wallpaper.
The mixture is also suitable for further painting of the surface, because the substances in the composition do not affect the paint. Wallpaper glued with this mixture will stay on the wall firmly and for a long time.
Special interlining
Another narrowly targeted type of glue that is suitable only for non-woven wallpaper. Heavy types of vinyl, and even more so glass wallpaper, will not be able to adhere to such a composition; only paper-based options are also suitable for such a composition. However, non-woven wallpaper will stick to the wall perfectly; after all, the glue is designed specifically for them.
Special vinyl
Suitable for heavy types of vinyl-based wallpaper. It contains PVA glue, which guarantees strength after the mixture has set. It is the most expensive among all adhesives, so it is recommended to use only for vinyl wallpaper.

Composition and types of wallpaper glue brand Quelyd, instructions for use
The French company Quelyd supplies the market with wallpaper glue of the highest quality, which has long gained wide popularity and popularity in the CIS market. The company has a large assortment - in construction stores you can buy not only glue for all types of wallpaper (fiberglass, non-woven, paper) and additional accessories (border and others), but also preparatory means, such as, for example, a composition for removing old wallpaper.
Description and purpose
Products of the Kelid brand are designed not only for a professional builder, but also for an ordinary person who does home renovations himself, because the company primarily thinks about the quality and ease of use of the compositions.
Among the assortment there is wallpaper glue for all types of fabrics. Of course, other companies often offer universal compositions, but such a compromise can not only reduce the quality of repairs, but even lead to re-gluing of wallpaper. The universal composition is an average option between all types of glue, which does not guarantee the durability of adhesion of all types of wallpaper.
Therefore, Quelyd offers a highly targeted composition for all wallpaper options - vinyl, fleece, glue for paper wallpaper, for glass wallpaper, and even indicator glue. We’ll talk about the features and methods of using each of them separately.
Composition and properties
The structure of the adhesive mixture is a loose substance in the form of shavings and has a white-cream color. Thanks to its balanced composition, the prepared glue can last longer than usual if stored in airtight packaging.
Thus, the finished substance can be used for its intended purpose within a week after preparation.
The composition itself is a mixture of environmentally friendly and harmless components.
A more detailed composition includes:
- Antiseptic for wallpaper and walls - insecticides, fungicides and bactericides that protect the appearance of fungal or mold in the space between the wallpaper and the wall. Thanks to the environmental friendliness of the ingredients used, the safety of not only humans, but also pets is guaranteed, which makes the composition not only high-quality, but also safe.
- For heavy types of wallpaper, for example, vinyl, chalk or modified starch is added, which allows the composition to hold heavier canvases.
- The main ingredient is cellulose additives, which regulate the consistency of the prepared glue, which allows you to avoid making the composition too liquid and inconvenient for use. Also, thanks to cellulose, the mixture becomes sticky, which allows the canvas to be glued to the wall.
Main advantages
Quelyd does not operate on the principle of “quantity over quality”. The company demonstrates true French quality in its entire assortment, because it is not for nothing that the Kelid brand adhesive compositions are the most popular on the market.
We recommend: B7000 glue: features and applications
The products have a whole list of advantages for which the company is so loved not only by ordinary amateurs, but also by professional workers.
Excellent adhesion
Thanks to its high-quality composition, the adhesive base of the mixture guarantees strong adhesion of any wallpaper to the wall surface. The presence of cellulose additives guarantees long-lasting adhesion even in hard-to-reach places, without the need for much effort.
An important fact is that if the canvas is incorrectly attached to the wall (the pattern does not match, the corner has moved and other problems), you can move the glued material to the desired place within 20-25 minutes.
Economical
An important advantage is the availability of the mixture. With excellent quality of the product, the Kelid brand keeps the price at an average level, which allows you to paste wallpaper even with a small renovation budget. But the low price of the product is not everything, because the material itself is consumed economically, which provides a way to save on the number of packages.
The consumption of a package weighing 250 grams will be 30-35 square meters, which is equivalent to 7 rolls.
Safety
Environmentally friendly ingredients and constant product quality controls guarantee the complete safety of Quelyd products. The use of the entire range is harmless to both people and animals.

How to use it correctly
When using, you must strictly follow the instructions.
We recommend: How to use the “Kreps reinforced” adhesive solution
Surface preparation
For gluing, you should only use a prepared wall that has no problems. To do this you need:
- clean the surface from dust and grease;
- remove old canvases, glue and bad plaster;
- apply new plaster to holes and uneven areas;
- pass with sandpaper, then moisten with water;
- After drying, the wall is ready to apply glue.
How to prepare the solution
All specific numbers can be found on the back of the package; the main stages of mixing are described below:
- pour the required amount of water into the container;
- pour dry glue into the container and continuously stir the composition with a drill;
- leave the mixture for 5-7 minutes;
- mix again and can be used.
Application
Now you can spread the cut pieces of wallpaper next to the place where they will be pasted. Apply a thin layer of glue to the canvas using a roller or soft bristles. All that remains is to carefully apply the wallpaper to the wall and hold it there for a while.
Additional tips and tricks
Some tips will be useful to help beginners:
- For a stronger adhesion, you can apply glue to the wall.
- If you don’t have a special drill attachment, you can use a regular mixer.
- The glue can be stored for up to 7 days in an airtight bag, but it is best to use it immediately after mixing.
- After applying the canvas to the wall, there is a time interval when the composition has not completely set. At this time, you can adjust the fabric according to the pattern and seam.
How to choose the right type of glue
Before purchasing a product, you need to make sure that the product is of proper quality. To do this, check the integrity of the packaging; if there are any defects, it is better not to take the box, because moisture could get inside, and then the solution may lose its quality properties. You should ask the seller for official quality certificates; all Kelid products have them; you can ask about storage conditions and check the expiration date.

Depending on the type of wallpaper
Experts say it is better to give preference to specialized species. They are produced taking into account the specifics of individual types of wallpaper, so it will be easier for a beginner to glue. There will be fewer problems with fixation. Working with universal formulations is more difficult, because it requires independent determination of the dilution density.

You can also use X-Glass glue for gluing walls and ceilings. It is made from dispersed powder of synthetic and natural polymers. It can be applied to concrete, plaster, wood and even metal surfaces.
Preparing the walls and mixing the glue
Gluing non-woven wallpaper requires clean, prepared walls. They must be dry, strong, even .
If the walls were previously painted, they will need to be sanded and washed with special detergents. After this, rinse the walls with clean water and let them dry, since it will be possible to hang non-woven wallpaper efficiently only in this case.
If work is to be done on highly absorbent surfaces, for example, gypsum wood, drywall, prime them first.
Adhesive for vinyl and non-woven wallpaper KLEO
To mix, pour 5 liters of water into a bucket (for non-woven coatings) or 4.5 liters of cold water (for wallpaper intended for further painting).
While stirring the water (creating a whirlpool), slowly and carefully pour the glue flakes along the edge of the bucket. Wait 10-15 minutes, then stir the liquid vigorously.
Quelyd, composition
Quelyd wallpaper adhesive is sold in dry, powder form. Small glue granules are easily mixed with water until smooth, and storing the glue dry significantly increases its shelf life.
European design of Kelid glue for non-woven wallpaper
The basic component of any wallpaper glue is starch, and here Kvelid is no exception. However, production methods for extracting starch are kept in the strictest confidence, since the result achieved by the company’s specialists is very worthy.
The second, no less important component is cellulose, which gives the composition the necessary consistency and enhances its adhesive properties. In addition, the addition of cellulose to the composition of Quelyd wallpaper adhesive has a positive effect on its price.
The cost of the glue directly depends on its purpose; the heavier the wallpaper that needs to be glued, the stronger the composition should hold. Typically, glue for non-woven, vinyl and glass wallpapers costs a little more than for paper ones.
Non-woven adhesive "Kelid" for wet rooms
What could be so unusual about wallpaper glue? – you ask, and we note that the glue from the manufacturer Quelyd contains chemical additives that resist the appearance of mold and mildew.
The fight against mold and mildew using the bactericidal components of the glue is carried out without your participation. This is especially true for damp rooms and rooms with vinyl-based wallpaper, which practically does not allow air to pass through.
Option for European packaging of Quelyd glue
The fight against small insects is also a feature of the glue; this is facilitated by insecticidal additives in the composition. Having treated the surface when wallpapering, you can rest assured that no living creatures will live there. It is also noteworthy that these additives do not have any effect on humans; they are completely safe.
Selection of adhesive composition
You should choose the right wallpaper glue. It is selected individually for each type of coating. For example, for a paper base you can choose almost any one, but if you are gluing non-woven or vinyl wallpaper, you will need a more durable and thick adhesive composition.
If you need glue for heavy wallpaper, be sure to read the instructions that are included with the glue from the manufacturer. We offer you products tested by specialists, such as “Kelid” or “Pufas”.
“Quelyd” assortment
The company produces adhesives for:
- “quelyd express” or “super express” are suitable for paper coverings;
- based on vinyl, “quelyd special vinyl” and “special indicator” are produced;
- non-woven ones you will need “quelyd special non-woven fabric”, “non-woven fabric-akva”;
- the glass fiber mixture did not acquire its name;
- borders or joints are made “quelyd raccord”, “bordure”;
- liquid glue that can be used immediately is called “quelyd murale”.
Pufas assortment
Pufas produces various formulations:
- a composition made from starch that needs to be diluted, it is intended for light paper coatings with the addition of special impurities;
- a solution for thick coatings (vinyl or non-woven) made from methylcellulose, which accordingly simplifies the work with gluing;
- for coatings that are difficult to work with, such as fiberglass, the company produces its own special composition, which is often used on poorly plastered bases;
- liquid mixture that is ready for immediate use;
- In addition to all of the above, the company produces special primers, liquids for removing wallpaper from the surface of walls and ceilings, as well as compounds for joints.
What does it contain?
Quelyd glue is environmentally friendly, safe to use, it can even be used in children's rooms for gluing wallpaper and decorative elements.
Product composition includes:
- Modified starch. Allows you to easily glue paper, vinyl, non-woven wallpaper of various formats and sizes.
- Cellulose components. They provide Kelid glue with high adhesive characteristics.
- Antiseptics of various types. They are added to products to protect materials and walls from mold and fungal infections, which often form in the area between the wallpaper and the wall surface.
The presence of antiseptics is extremely important if non-woven or vinyl wallpaper is used for pasting, which are not capable of allowing sufficient air to pass through for normal ventilation.
How to calculate wallpaper glue?
Calculating how much wallpaper is needed for a room is not difficult, but how much glue is needed for a room of a certain area is usually difficult to calculate, so it is purchased, as they say, “by eye.” For an accurate calculation, you should take into account what type of wallpaper is chosen for gluing, what condition the base of the walls is in and what kind of glue is purchased.
REMEMBER! The highest consumption is used for wallpaper with a denser texture.
Manufacturers always indicate on the packaging approximate figures for the consumption of the adhesive solution for a specific type of coating. But you should not trust the information presented one hundred percent, since in practice this is not at all the case; usually a little more glue is used.
It is recommended to calculate the mixture with a small margin, because when gluing, partial loss of the solution is inevitable due to various factors.
The consumption is approximately as follows:
- For thin paper-based coatings, this is approximately 20 grams per 1 m2.
- For heavy and thick non-woven or vinyl, which are difficult to paste, you will need 50 grams per 1 m2 of coating.
If you intend to initially prime the base of the wall with an adhesive solution, then the consumption increases. Approximately 10 grams per 1m2. The figures given are calculated from the information written directly on the packages. But it is worth remembering that for any mixture they may vary; each case must be calculated separately.

How to use it correctly
When using, you must strictly follow the instructions.
Surface preparation
For gluing, you should only use a prepared wall that has no problems. To do this you need:
- clean the surface from dust and grease;
- remove old canvases, glue and bad plaster;
- apply new plaster to holes and uneven areas;
- pass with sandpaper, then moisten with water;
- After drying, the wall is ready to apply glue.
How to prepare the solution
All specific numbers can be found on the back of the package; the main stages of mixing are described below:
- pour the required amount of water into the container;
- pour dry glue into the container and continuously stir the composition with a drill;
- leave the mixture for 5-7 minutes;
- mix again and can be used.
Application
Now you can spread the cut pieces of wallpaper next to the place where they will be pasted. Apply a thin layer of glue to the canvas using a roller or soft bristles. All that remains is to carefully apply the wallpaper to the wall and hold it there for a while.
Applying glue and wallpapering
When the mixture is ready, cover the floors with clean paper and begin cutting out the wallpaper. If they have a geometric pattern, it needs to be joined on different canvases. In this case, cutting of the material is inevitable. If the wallpaper is smooth or has a small, dim pattern, you don’t have to bother with precise cutting.
The cut canvases are stacked on top of each other with the finishing side down, pushing each subsequent one slightly to the side. Let them sit for a while to straighten out.
The glue is applied with a roller or brush in a thick layer directly onto dry, cleaned wallpaper. The width of the adhesive strip should be greater than the wallpaper. As a rule, enough glue is applied to the wall to glue several canvases at once.
Convenience, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, a wide range of products on the building materials market are qualities for which the French brand Quelyd is preferred not only by specialists, but also by people who require high-quality glue for independent work.
Application methods
As a rule, two methods of applying glue are used.
Using a roller or brush
You need to use a roller that has medium-sized pile. A wallpaper brush is also suitable for this purpose. Dip the tool into the adhesive and apply it to an area slightly larger in width than the size of a roll of wallpaper.
It is important that the layer of Quelyd glue is uniform over the entire surface
Paste the first piece of wallpaper onto the wall, after which you need to check the accuracy of application using a plumb line or level. Smooth the surface of the strip using a special soft plastic spatula, as shown in the photo. Paste the next sections of wallpaper into the joint.
After complete drying, you can paint the wallpaper. The finishing is done in two layers using acrylic paint.
Machine method
Thanks to the machine method, the entire work process occurs with higher quality and in a shorter time. This method is quite popular among professionals who leave extremely positive reviews about it, as it allows you to complete large amounts of work very quickly.
Usually 11 kilograms of Quelyd mixture are diluted at once. Two 0.5 kg bags are simultaneously poured into the water, while trying to create an active whirlpool.
The prepared mixture is poured into a special container of the machine. Then you need to roll the roller so that it is completely wetted with glue.
The prepared canvas is placed in a special device. Quelyd glue must be applied evenly to the wallpaper from the reverse side.
Cut to the desired height (with a margin of at least 5 cm). After gluing the piece to the wall, smooth it out.
Adviсe
To avoid any difficulties during the pasting process, it is worth learning in advance about some of the features of the work:
- The presented Quelyd special non-woven adhesive is not suitable for paper wallpaper. The described application method is also not applicable when using this type of finishing material.
- To clean the walls more effectively, just wet them with chlorine and then rinse it off with warm water. You only need to do everything with a clean sponge so that streaks do not appear on the wall.
- All excess adhesive should be removed only with a damp sponge.
- Tools need to be washed with warm water from time to time; if this is not done, the glue may harden quickly and will be more difficult to remove. The same rule applies to removing excess composition at the joints of finishing material. If you leave even a small amount of glue, it will be very difficult to remove.
- You should only work with glue while wearing gloves. If adhesive gets into your eyes, you should immediately rinse them with running water.
It is also worth remembering that while gluing the walls you cannot keep windows and doors open, as this will contribute to the appearance of a draft. It is important to maintain the recommended temperature in the room, since lowering it causes the mixture to harden. If the temperature is increased, the composition becomes less viscous, so the material may not adhere securely.
Reviews of the described composition indicate that it sets quickly and does not appear in any way on thin wallpaper.
Mixture preparation process
The adhesive composition is mixed immediately before use, after the surface has been prepared and thoroughly cleaned. A person who does not have experience in preparing a liquid composition will be helped out by the detailed instructions printed on the product packaging.
Basic principles for preparing the adhesive mixture:
- The required amount of cold, clean water is poured into a plastic container.
- Continuously mix the liquid with a drill equipped with a special mixer attachment.
- The dry composition is poured into the resulting funnel.
- Pour out the required amount of the contents of the pack and stir until smooth, scraping the mass from the walls of the container.
- Leave the finished mixture to stand for 5-10 minutes.
- Stir before starting work to ensure the desired thickness and viscosity.
Advantages and disadvantages of glue
Quelyd products belong to the middle price range with decent quality and excellent technical characteristics. Why does the consumer choose this brand:
- all products are of fairly high quality and are economically consumed;
- construction mixtures and compositions are as simple and easy to use as possible;
- the product provides reliable, durable and durable results;
- All chemical compositions have been tested and are safe for health.
Quelyd's main mass-produced product is reliable wallpaper adhesive.

Main advantages
Quelyd does not operate on the principle of “quantity over quality”. The company demonstrates true French quality in its entire assortment, because it is not for nothing that the Kelid brand adhesive compositions are the most popular on the market.
The products have a whole list of advantages for which the company is so loved not only by ordinary amateurs, but also by professional workers.
Excellent adhesion
Thanks to its high-quality composition, the adhesive base of the mixture guarantees strong adhesion of any wallpaper to the wall surface. The presence of cellulose additives guarantees long-lasting adhesion even in hard-to-reach places, without the need for much effort.
An important fact is that if the canvas is incorrectly attached to the wall (the pattern does not match, the corner has moved and other problems), you can move the glued material to the desired place within 20-25 minutes.
Economical
An important advantage is the availability of the mixture. With excellent quality of the product, the Kelid brand keeps the price at an average level, which allows you to paste wallpaper even with a small renovation budget. But the low price of the product is not everything, because the material itself is consumed economically, which provides a way to save on the number of packages.
Safety
Environmentally friendly ingredients and constant product quality controls guarantee the complete safety of Quelyd products. The use of the entire range is harmless to both people and animals.

Preparing the glue correctly
You can prepare the adhesive composition yourself. This requires knowledge of technology. Strictly follow the step-by-step cooking instructions.
Starch glue
In total it will take about 40 minutes. So:
- Take an enamel or metal container.
- Water is pouring in. Bring to a boil.
- Starch is added in a thin stream.
- The mixture is constantly stirred.
- Bring to the desired consistency of “liquid dough”.
- Strain through cheesecloth.
- Cools down in about 2 hours. Can be used.
Cellulose glue
Ready-made powder-like mixtures are bought in the store and filled with water. Infuse from half an hour to 3 hours according to the instructions for use. The water should be slightly warm. Hot is not suitable. Glue won't work. A precipitate will form in the form of flocculent discharge. After gluing, bumps and swellings will appear on the wall. The room will look sloppy.
PVA glue
It is especially popular. Step-by-step cooking instructions:
- Add gelatin to a glass of cold water. It is left to swell for a day.
- A water bath is made. Gelatin and flour are added to the water. Mix thoroughly. It is important to avoid the formation of lumps.
- After a few minutes, glycerin and alcohol are poured out.
- The mass is mixed. The fire turns off. Wait until it cools down completely. Only then can it be used for wallpapering a room.
Important! All of the above options for preparing the adhesive composition yourself are used exclusively in cold form. Applying hot or warm glue to the canvas can ruin it.
The choice of glue for decorating a room should be taken responsibly. Only high-quality building materials will ensure a beautiful appearance for your home.
Glue properties and composition
The adhesive dry mixture is loose white shavings. "Kelid" consists of:
- Cellulose additives that provide excellent adhesive properties and the desired consistency of the finished composition.
- Ecologically safe insecticides for humans and pets, bactericidal components and fungicides that prevent mold and fungi from developing in the space between the wallpaper and the wall. The antiseptic properties of "Kelida" are especially important if the walls are covered with non-woven canvases or vinyl canvases, which do not allow air to pass through well.
- The main component is modified starch or chalk. Mixtures with chalk additives are intended for vinyl wallpapers because they are heavier than paper ones.
On a note! Quelyd is recommended for use at temperatures from +5 to +25 degrees. If the room is too hot, the time for using the finished mixture is reduced, and problems may arise when gluing the canvases.
Closed bags of dry glue are stored for the period indicated on the packaging, and the finished composition retains its properties for more than 7 days. The liquid substance must be stored in an airtight container.
The price of the Kelid adhesive composition depends on what kind of paintings it is intended for gluing. The heavier the roll, the more expensive the product. But even the Quelyd mixture for paper wallpaper occupies the middle price segment in the domestic building materials market.
