INSTALLING BORDERS

The success of hanging your wallpaper, as well as the ease of taking it down are totally dependent on how well you prepare your walls!

SMOOTH.Make sure you fill all cracks and holes using spackle. Sand until you have a smooth surface with a medium grit sandpaper.
CLEAN.Wash and rinse walls to remove grease and dirt. The surface must be clean and free of mildew, grease and stains.
PRIME.For best results, prime all wall surfaces with a high quality primer-sealer before installing wallcovering. Priming properly is key to easy removal later.

2.Re-roll border with the pattern on the inside.

3.Follow label instructions for soaking the border.

4.Slowly remove border, ensuring that a paste surface is wet.
