Yes, once... I tried the first drop by pasting the wall as instructed and ended up with paste all over the paper, me, the hanging brush and just about everywhere else then gave up and pasted the paper. The main problem I had was that as you brush out each piece the brush cannot help but pick up paste off the wall beyond the edge of the paper and then transfer it to the face of the paper from where it gets onto your hands and so on. Now I only ever use ready-mixed paste and always paste the back of the paper. Ready pasted paper is rubbish too.
