Wallpaper Paste

emmadragon

Hi,

After hanging some wallpaper at the weekend we have a large bucket of paste left but someone forgot to read the packet to see how to dispose of it properly before it was thrown away and so now I don't know what to do with it! Can someone advise how I dispose of it?

Thanks in advance,
Emma

Probably not correct, but I've always just poured it down the sink and then ran the hot water tap for a few minutes to make sure its flushed out of the waste pipe. Alternatively just pour it into a plastic bag, tie the top and put in your dustbin.

Pour it down the grid.
It's water soluble so it's not a problem.
Place i use to work did the tarmac on roads, before they started they use to cover all the grids with wallpaper paste to stop them getting bunged up, later on it was just scraped up.and binned.

I have heard that watering down the remains and then flushing them down the lav works ok

Looks like its down the loo with it then! I was pretty sure it was bio- degradable. Thanks

I watered it down loads and put it down the drain at the side of the road, although i did wait until it was dark to make sure no-one saw me!!
