The life of water-intolerant putty will be longer after painting, but latex paint is still powerless against cracks in the base layer, and there are many cracks;
Wallpaper cannot It has a protective effect on putty. If the putty is of poor quality, the wallpaper will easily peel. Therefore, a base film must be brushed before making wallpaper.

However, generally famous brand paints from major manufacturers can control harmful substances to a relatively low level, and these harmful substances will be removed after the paint dries.

The pollution of poor wallpaper may be much greater than that of regular latex paint.
