"You normally paste both wall and paper. A light / thin coat/watered paste on walls and then a coating on paper. Allow the paste some time on paper to absorb. Normally gives you all the details on the packet of paste"

"Paste the wall is easier for a beginner to hang because if you don’t evenly paste the whole of the drop on paper you get lifts and more bubbles than usual.
Remember to size the wall at least twice with a cold water size before hanging your paper if it is a plastered wall.
