## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this product mold proof?**
A: PRO-838 Heavy Duty Clear contains biocides for in-pail preservation and to resist the growth of mold and mildew on the adhesive film. PRO-838 will not kill any existing mold and mildew that may be present on the wall prior to installation.

**Q: The paper I have advises using a 'heavy duty pre-mixed clay vinyl adhesive'. Is this that? Thank you!**
A: No

**Q: how long to wait after applying the paste and hanging the paper?**
A: I applied paste to wall. Let dry while cutting wallpaper.  Used precasted paper and followed directions. Paper really stuck well to wall

**Q: Can this be used for peel & stick wallpaper touch-ups? Is the wallpaper removeable over time or does this act as a permanent application?**
A: PRO-838 is considered a heavy-duty adhesive. Repairs made with PRO-838 may be more difficult to remove in the future. A better option might be the PRO-880 Ultra Clear Strippable:
