Whats the best/quickest/simplest way to apply paste to wallpaper, brush or roller?

    Just to advise I started the thread as I've never used a roller to paste before and as we have a large job coming up I was wondering what everyone else thought was best.

    I'm assuming you can use any type of roller or an I completely wrong?

    My other half is a retired decorator and has never used a roller at all, but cant see a problem with it.

    Just a tip, if you spread out the paper on the pasting table, put the paper against the furtherst edge, apply the paste to 2/3rs of the paper, horizontally, then pull the paper towards you to the nearest edge and paste the remaining 1/3rd, this stops any paste getting onto the table and therefore stops any getting onto the front of your wallpaper.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
