If this is going to be in a bathroom with a shower, I would recommend putting paste on the wallpaper. It will help it to hold better in a high-humidity area. I also recommend using a vinyl wallpaper for a bathroom. One suggestion would be to use something call wall sizing. It is a 'primer' that you put on the walls before putting up wallpaper. It help the paper adhere better to the walls and also makes it easier to take down when and if you need to.

Prepasted Wallpaper

entirely up to you, but what was the point of buying ready pasted and then wanting to paste it.
paste the wall with a weak paste mix, yes, this is called sizing, it helps to stop the wall from soaking up the paste on the paper to quick, giving you more time to hang the length of paper,
hanging wallpaper in a bathroom is never a very good idea.
to remove wall paper you use a steamer. a bathroom is full of steam when taking a shower. what ever you do it will peel off eventually...

No, its simply not necessary.
Always paper walls that have been cleaned (and dried) and use wallpaper sizing before you paper. You apply the sizing with a paint roller (it will give the surface a tacky feeling so the paper will stick and stay longer.) You can buy the sizing in the same area you bought the wallpaper.

I hang a lot of paper and do this a lot especially in bathrooms .......
What I do and recommend you do is to buy a quart size bucket of wallpaper paste and when you start hanging,before you put the individual sheet up put a little water in the paste bucket then take a paint brush and apply the paste where the seam is and at the top of the wall............
I do that every time I hang in bathrooms...................

I pasted a pre pasted wallpaper and it never peeled or loosened. When I wanted to remove it, what a problem! Will never do that again.

There is no point to it. and you could wind up with too much paste making the wallpaper so slipperty it won*t hold on the wall.

In my experience it's really hard to add paste to that paper, but your thinking along the right lines you'll have to thin out the paste enough with water to reactivate the paste applied to the paper. I would just soak the prepasted myself and do a careful job.

How do you add paste to the pre pasted paper? I'm putting it up in the bathroom. Do you wet the paper then add paste?
