How quickly can I use the adhesive after mixing?

What do I do if I spill adhesive on the decorative side of the wallpaper?

It is essential to keep the decorative surface of wallpaper free from adhesive. If spillage occurs, wipe it off immediately using a clean, damp cloth before the adhesive sets.
