    I just hung a powder room with similar design and results. THANKS SO MUCH SPENCER! You've answered my questions and, as always, calmed me down a little. So many things to know. Go slow and take the time to do it as well as I can.

    I hung some midnight blue wallpaper with white oriental crane birds on it and I found a blue Bic biro pen hid my seams. I thought I was doing a bodge job so I am so pleased I did the right thing! Thanks for posting this!

    Wow, I recently hung some black wallpaper and used colored pencil to hide the seams. I thought I was just fudging it, but glad to know that the pros with years of experience do the same. One thing I ran into, however, is that the black on the paper I was working with scratched REALLY easily. I tried a wallpaper squeegee and a wallpaper brush. I found the brush was not firm enough to work out the bubbles but the squeegee scratched the surface. Bubbles were hard to avoid when laying the paper down initially due to the width of the paper being 38". I tried covering the squeegee with a microfiber cloth, and it helped some but still took color off. I fixed the scratches with a colored pencil as well, which worked out only because the pencil happened to match REALLY well and even matched the slight sheen to the paper. I feel I narrowly avoided disaster on that one. Do you have any suggestions for how I could have prevented the color from coming off in the first place? I concluded it was an issue with the quality of the paper but am wondering if there is something I am missing? Thanks for your videos, I have found them very helpful!

    I don’t get why you need to do the banding if there is a little overlap at the seam.

    Hi Mr. Spencer!
    Have you ever wallpapered an empty residence while the home owners were preparing to move in and had a call back to repair your work (or someone else’s) after they moved in? 😬😳

    nice. what I do is scrape a pencil led until i get some fine dust powder, add a drop of water then apply apply with a fine art brush. works great.

      Our you could just use the soft lead "magic" home depot pencil. We sometimes use those little acrylic paints, apply and immediately wipe vertically with damp paper towel. Of course there always explaining to client that dark background wallpapers will show seams (right Spencer?) Which of course leads to the client saying "ooh just do the best you can" 😂. Black backgrounds and grasscloth....the bane of our trade 😢 like we make the product they choose? No they hire us and our professional ability to hang what they purchase. Great video Spencer.

    Hello love you videos very informative, i do wallpaper printings have been doing just fabric peel and stick with overlaps. trying to expand to to traditional wallpapers do you recommend i print with overlaps and they do double cut? or should i print edge to edge?

    • @spencercolgan
      @spencercolgan  11 месяцев назад +1

      Edge to edge…. Best way to go!

      I would love to hear Spencer's response to this as well. But in my experience as an installer myself, and an artist and designer; It wouldn't make a difference. Because a seam is meeting there. The paper us perfectly flush. Whether cut by a machine or cut by the instsller in a double cut. It's that the edges are white either way. He speaks on this in the video. If the edges could be printed to match the surface, now that would be the tech that would solve this. And I cant imagine that being practicle. Not for contrasting colours. Precolouring the edges if all the ssme colour then yes. I see no other way to solve the problem as things are except to as Spencer says, take the time afterwords to address it by using something of the same colour. Watercolor pencils have a very nice way of sinking into the paper to 'dye' it and stay in the paper without leaving a different gloss or finish on the surface like some paints and markers can. Again matte/flat/non-gloss paper is also my preference for sure!

    What would you recommend to seal wallpaper with to prevent getting moist in bathroom?

    Mind the gap wallpaper, it is the product itself causing lots of problems . I am an installer . The wallpaper itself shrinks after dried even though there was resting time

    Some wallpaper manufacturers colour the edges at the point of manufacture, which makes butt jointing really easy, however not all manufacturers do this, which adds the question how to camaphlarge the seam, i use charcoal, rather than a pencil, I believe the problem lies in the trimming at the point of manufacture,
