Cutter, scissors, bucket, wallpaper brush, scraper / metal ruler,
sponge roller, and soft brush.




- Clean your wall,
removing any rough edges, dirt, previous wallcoverings or oil based
paints. Removing skirtings will ensure a neater finish.
- Prepare the paste
as per the manufacturers instructions, (we recommend a heavy duty paste
such as Henkel's Metylan which is also suitable to use for sizing the
wall. Texture should resemble pancake mix consistency. Allow paste to
thicken for approx 30 minutes.
- Size the wall. (x2
water to paste). Sizing the wall with diluted paste will allow you to
manipulate pasted wallpaper into correct position. Allow sizing to fully
dry before commencing with wallpaper.
- Draw a diagonal
line across the middle of the wall and horizontal lines representing
each panel. You will use these lines as a guide to ensure a straight end
result.
- Lay out your mural
in panels in sequence starting with panel number 1, roughly trimming
excess if needed.
- Apply glue to back
of design, taking glue all the way to the edge of your panel.
- Apply pasted panel
number 1 to wall. Using roller or soft brush, smooth out from middle of
your panel to edges, removing any large air bubbles as you go.
- Prepare panel
number 2, as before, applying glue and pasting to wall, allowing an
overlap of approximately 1-2mm.
- Repeat process with
remaining panels, overlapping each panel and smoothing as you go.
- Any air bubbles
remaining will disappear once your mural has fully dried.
- Allow a minimum of
2 hours drying time, then using a metal ruler and sharp cutter, trim off
any excess, replace skirtings if necessary.
- Enjoy a drink, sit back and admire your new view!
