what prep did you use on the wall? did you rough up the wall or use something on it before you applied paper?

I hired someone, but he painted the wall with that white primer made for walls - I have horsehair walls which get really dry, so some kind of primer is necessary.

Just washed them & smooth out any rough spots. P.s. DONT soak it as long as they say. It gets very soft quickly & will tear.

I bought a wallpaper paste at Lowe's that meant for pre-pasted paper. Brushed the paste onto the wall, soaked the wallpaper briefly, though I don't believe as long as instructed, then placed on the wall. The added paste makes it easier to position the paper and slip it into position.

I use a paint that has primer in the paint so I don't have to paint the wall twice. I use Lowe's primer and paint in one and have had zero problems. No mold and no loose paper. If you think about it when you hang the wallpaper there is already water utilized, so mold would form either way primer or not.

I put mine around my island counter. I wipe it down to clean. My Granddaughter did the one side of her kitchen with the same wallpaper. Her's is where the kitchen sink is and she does not have a problem with it. we both like the texture of the paper because it looks like real brick. I know the wallpaper with the shipping is expensive but it is well worth the money. I Hope this will help you. One more comment about this----if you watch General Hospital Samantha has this same paper on her living wall where the fireplace is.

I don't know why you couldn't. It's very heavy, stiff paper. You might want to use some heavy duty wallpaper adhesive. I would definitely do a "test" area first before doing all the walls.

You probably could use spray paint. The application requires wetting the paper (self-adhesive), so if you used spray paint it would be after putting it up on the wall. That might be a daring endeavor to avoid overspray. I used an interior latex paint using a paint roller. It's a beautiful pattern and it mimics punched tin ceiling tiles. I used it to create a faux backsplash in a kitchen. I highly recommend this wallpaper; beautiful and a great buy.

You will need to seal the paper with several coats of some sort of sealant such as mod pudge first otherwise this product will soak through and ruin the paper. Hope this helps.

I just spray the paper with water as I am pulling off, what is left I soak with water and use a soft sponge to rub off. this way there are no marks left on the wall. Pretty easy! Hope this was helpful.

It is just paper, but there are several large panels that have to fit together. If you staple them, it will probably look bad and removing it will be really hard.This mural takes up the whole wall, it is HUGE, and I did not have room for several panels.Actually, if you use starch-based glue, pasting it would make more sense and removing the wallpaper would be much easier.

who much of a texture is it? only because my walls are completely smooth and it was ok to apply,I had to go back over it a few times and over the last few days I have to smooth certain spots out. I honestly would not spend the money risking it not sticking correctly.

I used what came with it. It worked great. Still up on the wall after a year!! ;)

If you cleaned the walls well before you applied it, it is on there good. If you want to remove it, I would suggest using GooGone prior to taking it off. It will tear off the paper layer from the drywall that it's applied to. Ask me how I know.

I followed the instructions and used the recommended wall covering primer on the wall, let it dry then applied the heavy duty clay adhesive to the back of each panel with a foam roller and hung it as it was applied. Then use a wall paper brush to get out all of the air bubbles. My only issue was finding the clay wall paper paste, the only way I could find it was at a Frazees paint store in a 5 gallon bucket. I ended up buying 5 gal because it cost the same as 1 gal to be shipped to me. I spent another $50 in primer and clay paste. But the map looks really amazing in our babies room.

The paper is prepasted and can be easily removed when necessary. Don't need to use any other glue. I would soak it with hot water and let it sit then peel off and wash wall down. I don't think there would be a problem.

I did use this product once to prep a wall for wallcovering. The paint was semi-gloss, so wallcovering wouldn't have adhered well otherwise. Never had a problem.

I used magic eraser.... Did a test before completely cleaning, and seems to be okay. I have some slight shadowing left over, but not nearly as bad as just water and a paper towel. Also, I used liquid chalk pens on the paper. Overall, I'm satisfied.

I used regular door molding for a frame. After putting up the mural I cut each piece figuring out where I wanted to frame to land on the mural border pattern. I then stained the wood, and finally nailed the pieces to the wall. People assume that it is a giant print, not a mural on the wall with molding around it. I have done this once before in another office and used construction adhesive as well as nails, but haven't noticed any benefit. (but then you don't have to think about hitting studs or not).

I would clean the wall with alcohol first then with a flat wood or plastic rubb it on the words as u have it on the wall.. on another piece I had to push really hard and finally it stayed.
