Yellow spots on liquid wallpaper - simple ways to deal with this problem

Silk Plaster decorative plasters or liquid wallpaper is a popular material used for interior design and decoration.

This innovative finishing material has excellent performance and characteristics. Decorative plasters are easy to apply, but it is important to strictly follow the instructions of their application.

It is necessary to pay attention to meticulous preparation of walls and surfaces before application. Yellow spots may appear on liquid wallpaper if surfaces were not prepared well. Chemicals or metal oxide may come out of walls after reaction with water if they had metal fittings or other metal structures located close to the surface. After application, decorative plasters pull out moisture from walls when they dry and, as a result, multi-colored (most often yellow) spots may appear. When preparing walls for application, it is important to clean the surfaces from previous finishing materials, to cover surfaces twice with a primer, and to cover metal elements with acrylic paint.

If yellow spots already appeared don’t get upset. We will describe below some simple ways to deal with this problem:

1) You can use a chemical stain remover.

Solid color or multi-color wall finishing
