Size print wallpaper
Explanation:
According to Uncle Ernst and his WB der industriellen Technik. (Here,
"size" is a weak kind of glue, used to soften paper and fabrics, and to prepare walls for plastering and wallpapering (so it doesn't absorb too much of the adhesive and make the paper or plaster fall off again!).)
