@@ItzShannyBayB06 you want to use a level, laser level or plumb line. If your pencil line isn’t 100% straight, your first panel and all subsequent panels will go on crooked.
We papered our bathroom with a thick vinyl texture. The problem we think was the texture ran horizontally so the seams lifted.pretty much everywhere. SO WE ARE STRIPING and REDOING with a different vertical texture paper. UGH. We have a new paste the wall wallpaper. What is the best way to prepare the wall. So we don’t get this lifting again. And how long do you recommend not showering in there to let the glue dry adequately? We’ve had lots of papers before and this had never happened so we are problem solving.
Hi! It may have been the type of paste you used and/or the paint that was underneath. The instructions should say what type of paste you need (i.e. all-purpose, heavy duty, vinyl paste, etc.) and some state the appropriate paint (i.e. wallcovering primer, oil paint, regular latex paint, etc.) and their cure times before you can hang over top (i.e. 24 hours, 21 days, etc). Some paste isn't compatible with some paint, so that may have been the issue as well. Just follow the manufacturers recommendation. Call them if it doesn't say on their instructions. If that was all correct, yes...it may have been too much humidity too soon. I would say give it at least 48 hours. Make sure the room is a comfortable temperature when you're installing. If it's very hot and humid where you are, make sure there is air conditioning on. The heat can dry out the paste too quickly, which would cause the seams to curl. As for removing the old, make sure you wash all the old paste off the wall once the paper is off. Follow the new manufacturers instructions regarding the paste and paint types. Let me know how it goes! Adrienne
@@theardentarcher for paste the wall, you wouldn’t usually let the paste dry first. Use the same method, except make the double cut as soon as the second panel is on the wall.
Soapy water mix in a spray bottle will assist you in “slipping “ the decal behind the toilet and or pipes. It’s how professionals set decals. Same for paper with adhesive on it.
I used commercial wall paper and after it died some of the edges curled. As you know the paper is vinyl how can I get it to lay down? Thank you for sharing this video! 😊
Good video. Had this problem with a mural.....did what you did and then I used painter's tape to hold down seam and left it for 1 week. Peeled off the paint and seam is perfect.
You make it look easy girl. I know I can too! Getting all the info i can before I do my bedroom.. I’m a new be so it will be interesting. I’ve heard peel & stick is not very forgiving so I’m not going there for my first time. How do you measure what you will need? The wider the paper the better I’m guessing. After the bedroom I’d love to do my bathroom .. maybe ??? Enjoy your video, you explained what you were doing every step . Thanks
You can definitely do this! Here’s a video on measuring for wallpaper: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZK8EtPfbB_o.htmlsi=K3tYkTDg54LbscdY Let me know how it goes!
What if you have an odd shaped wall with a large window and door? The wall I want to cover is in a small building and has a gabled ceiling! I’m sooooo confused!
I find the really long huge metal ruler WITH CORK BACKING, to be far superb to the short tools like you are using for this kind of cut only. Because a STRAIGHT long fresh crisp line cut looks so much better than a hand drawn one. No matter how skilled I am, this tool reallllly does the job. The cork backing is essential though. Otherwise yes, any straight edge tool will slip too easily.
Hi CJ! Here’s a video I made a while ago explaining how to hang around a plug: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_giKf6e70Q.htmlsi=zGZTisqXY0N3SGuW Hope that helps!
I’m having a nightmare this is happening to me but even worse is that the sides have shrunk so I’ve got a tiny gap in between 😢 I was wondering about putting a layer of watered down pva over it ? 🤷♀️ it’s peel and stick
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear this is happening! I’m wondering if the peel and stick stretched during installation, and is now shrinking back down exposing a gap where you can see the wall. If you can get the wallpaper to at least stick to the wall, you can paint the gap in a matching colour to the wallpaper so the wall blends in with the wallpaper. Here’s a video I made a looooong time ago. It talks about hiding the white edge of the wallpaper seam, but it’s the same procedure to also hide the wall. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zI2qBooTlbI.htmlsi=ozpoXJ9cH-KrfCFb Let me know if that helps!
I've been hanging wallpaer for 50 years, and as a 4th generation paper hanger I have never found the need to color the edges and never have a white line at the seam. It would take longer to color the edges on each side of every piece than it takes to hang the mural she has shown. Although its true Paper can shrink on the wall this is not necessarily the best solution and you cant double cut the edge of a mural.
Hey Sheryl! This video is to help DIYers hanging a dark mural who are not comfortable making a double cut. The white edge will always be visible if you leave the overlap. That being said, I always colour the edges of dark wallpaper that have a butt seam. It definitely takes a long time, but it’s an extra step I take for my clients to give the best results. It sounds like you have a technique that hides the white seams without colouring them though!!! 👏🏻 I’d love to hear your tips…it could save me (and other installers) loads of time. Would you share?
You shouldnt push really hard, youre cutting into the drywall causing the paper to recess a bit, you will see the seam at angles on certain colours especially. You need adequate pressure to do your best to only cut the two paper. The cut does not need to be perfectly straight either, if youre using a straight edge I suggest using something much longer like a 6ft level for example. That's just my advice it's not written in stone or anything. I think your work looks great there. 🤘
I love this ! Not really suitable for the kitchen family room we are currently renovating. I am in NZ and have a house with more than half in paper. Thank you for your tips on this Chanel
Hey Elizabeth! I usually just use warm water with a bit of vinegar and a sponge (with some elbow grease). Remember to let the walls dry a little before you re-paste the wallpaper - if it's vinyl wallpaper, you don't want to trap moisture between the wall and the paper. It could cause mold. Let me know how it goes!
Great video! It is something very helpful to hang or install the wallpaper. 🥰🥰 Wallpapers can elevate any space beautifully and by choosing this option, this method gonna help people to apply successfully.
