Hume Adhesives Question & Answers

  • October 16, 2020

So your customers have finally found the wallpaper that will change their lives. The next question is how to stick it down and what pastes/ adhesives will complete their Hume experience. We answered most of the killer questions here! If you have any more feel free to call, or email us at anytime.

What type of adhesive are available through Hume?

A. We offer two broad types of wallpaper adhesives:

  • Wallpaper paste: which is a supplied as a powder and mixed with water to create the paste.
  • Ready Mix adhesives: the adhesive is supplied pre-mixed with water ready to hang out of the container.

How many wallpaper pastes are available through Hume?

A: We offer two different Rasch wallpaper pastes:

  • Universal. A standard wallpaper paste designed for vinyl, paper, embossed and expanded vinyl wallpapers.
  • Non-Woven. A stronger wallpaper paste designed for non-woven wallpapers.
  • The main difference between the two pastes is the Non-woven – Paste the Wall adhesive is stronger. Wallpapers with a non-woven, non-paper backing require a stronger adhesive to hang them.

How much wall area can you hang with the wallpaper paste?

  • Universal: 250-gram packet – 30-35sqm of wall area [most rolls will hang approx. 5 sqm = 6-7 rolls]
  • Non-woven: 250-gram packet – 25-35sqm of wall area [=5-7 rolls]

Do you have any ready-mix adhesives?

A: Yes! We are the exclusive distributor for the Gardiner Gibson Dynamite adhesive range.

What is a “ready mix” range?

Hume Internationale: we cover walls, windows, furniture and floors

Hume Internationale is an importing company. The company was formed in 1973 as a wall covering importer and wholesaler offshoot company of S.E.Hobson P/L, the largest Australian distributor of Berger Paints at that time. S.E.Hobson P/L, painting & decorating contractors date back to the latter part of the 19th Century. Their business was based in Ballarat, but Hume Internationale was located in Melbourne. The present owners who acquired the company in 1986 are part of the wider Hobson family and continue the formidable history in this industry. No one knows or understands the Australian interior design industry better.
