Abstract: An elongated, open-topped bucket has a trapezoidal cross-section, with the smaller base below. The bottom of the bucket has an elongated slit into which wallpaper may be introduced. A flexible lip inside the bucket guides the wallpaper up against the rear wall of the bucket and prevents paste in the bucket from leaking out the bottom. At the top of the bucket are a skimming blade and a corrugated raking blade that cooperate to remove all but the proper amount of paste from the wallpaper as the wallpaper is withdrawn from the top of the bucket. The blades are spring loaded against the wallpaper and are independently spring loaded.
