Today I received the infamous Draw Tite. Wow. Why
is this stuff not available all over the place?
Bug your local Sherwin Williams if they do not have it.
Tell them to order it.
Okay, so the mottling effect. I am here to vouch for everything
Bonnye said, it does indeed mottle on it's own, and quickly, too!
In my opinion, it is indeed a combination of the products used,
but not so much chemical reaction as chemical union. The paper
absorbs the GH-34 in patches, it would seem, and when applied to
a wall previously treated (painted with) Draw-Tite, certain sections
appear lighter, some darker.
Not one to be satisfied with what someone else said, I tested a
few things on a door I will be doing over, so it was the guinea pig
for the process.
Using standard paste, I tore the paper up, pasted the door and
stuck the paper on. It looks like I stuck the paper on. No mottling,
no effect, just walls with brown paper on it.
Then on the same door, I put a coat of Draw Tite on, then let it
dry. It did not take long, dry to the touch is fine. I then tore the paper,
spread the GH-34 on the paper, and folded them in half. I only had
about 12 pieces done for the test, but as you can see, it worked!
