What makes this wallpaper curl and stink?

Since I can remember, this wallpaper along with some Scalamandre papers curl like crazy once pasted and are annoying to work with. (Lee Jofa Modern

They also have a harsh smell straight out of the roll.

What causes that? Is it the paper stock, coating, inks, sizing, or something else?

Is there a method that helps reduce the curling, or is that just how these papers are? Could it be related to pasting method? For reference, we usually use Roman 880 on these.

What is your favorite wide liner paper?

Looking for recommendations on wider wall liner.

We usually use Albany 1200, but we're looking to switch to something 27", 30", or wider for certain jobs to reduce seams and speed up installation.

Help identifying this car

Need help identifying this car from an old 35mm film photo I took in Mexico City.

I know the image is blurry from camera movement, but I'm hoping the front end, hood, or overall shape is enough for someone to recognize it.

What I remember

- Photo was taken in CDMX.

- It was parked on a residential street.

- It looked like an older American performance car (at least that's my impression), but I could be completely wrong.

I'm especially curious about the make, model, and approximate year if anyone can tell.

Thanks!

Would you work with your husband?

For the sisters: if your husband had a trade/home service-based business would you be open to working with him?

Not just behind-the-scenes stuff, but actually being involved in the work itself.

I’ve seen this dynamic work in my own family, so I’m curious how others would view it.

Would that be something you’d be open to, or would you rather keep work and marriage separate?

Would it depend on how labor intensive the work is?

Poll:

  1. Yes, I’d like that
  2. Maybe, depends on the work
  3. Only occasionally
  4. No, I’d keep it separate
  5. Just here for results
