In this video, I demonstrate The very delicate process of installing peel and stick wallpaper.
Peel and stick and stick wallpaper was originally never made to be a wallpaper. It was made for stickers and decals. Over time it became popular for people living in apartments, condos or temporary living situations because they could easily install and remove it. Unfortunately, speaking as an installer, peel and stick wallpaper (aka selfstick, temporary or self-adhesive wallpaper) is not as easy to install as advertised. In fact, because it's sticky on the back it presents its own sets of challenges that regular wallpaper doesn't have (mainly that you can slide the wallpaper into position).
Tips
1. Prepare walls. They must be smooth.
2. Do not put it on textured walls, especially ones with orange peel.
3. Do not take entire back plastic wrapping off (do it in stages)
4. Get help and do not try to hang it alone. You need 2 people ideally.
5. Use dry eraser instead of a typical smoother for MOST of the smoothing process so you don't damage wallpaper. This is very thin material.
5. Have residential home hair blower (not a heat gun) for air bubbles at the end should they happen.

Evening! What the kind of primer should be use on a cocrete wall? And what is the difference between vinyl and that wall paper??
Alejandro Magma no difference! This is super thin vinyl. Also , use roman pro 999.

Is it just me or is this guy doing the greatest Christopher Walken impression ever?
You are probably the 35th person who has told me that… I really wish somebody with a lot of money hires me to imitate him because I would love to hit it big
I knew he was reminding me of someone, but I could not figure it out. Nice job!
I was just going to make that comment. Great 'impression'!
Spencer Colgan Wallpaper & Painting : do you live in Florida? maybe if I know somebody that lives in Florida and needs to hire somebody I’ll recommend your RUclips
😆
Thank you for explaining to your helper what to do and where to place his hands and not yelling!!!!! I think many of us are scarred from getting yelled at by our dads and not understanding what to do lol
Love your comment. This video was a completely impromptu video. The young helper was the son of one of the sweetest people I have ever worked for… The wife of a gentleman who owns a big painting company. Two of the best people I have ever worked for and so I just meant that young boy and he was helping me and my helper was actually using the camera
@@spencercolgan 😂😂😂😂
Thanks to you, my walls will be primed and smooth, my installation will involve an assistant, my squeegee will be a chalkboard eraser, my pressing motions will be HORIZONTAL ONLY, my plastic will be NOT TAKEN OFF UNTIL THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT, and my corners will be tightly pressed. AWESOME TUTORIAL!!!!!!
Thank you Jess in Ireland. My roots are from County Mayo I believe.
He was going up and down the whole way until he started talking about going horizonal strokes 😆
Thank you. Now I don’t have to watch this man blather on.
A long circular dowling, wider than the paper, would enable you to slide the backing off bit by bit, every couple of inches 😀
@@philipmorris57a little painters tape goes a long way. Chamois cloth over the papering brush should do.
I wish every profesor I had were as supportive and team player as this man.
You can use a 'chip clip' as a weight to hold the backing down as you peel it. The clip is heavy enough to fight static but won't let it spring back up and get in the way.
Same thought
This is the best low key impression of Christopher Walkin I have ever seen.
Thank you so much Spencer - first of all and all, for your careful, honest and objective observation and comments on self-adhesive wall papers, not for the manufacturers, resellers, or acting as a professional installer showing a DIY job is so easy!
And your instruction speed and details both are good, tone is clear. Thanks again!
If you know other DIY work, please do more video.
I just used 3 clothespins on the back to hold the plastic down smooth and pull down. The pins kept the plastic film out of the way and nobody to work around
This is the best tutorial on peel and stick that I have seen. Thank you! Will help prevent problems as the peel and stick is not cheap.
Nicest compliment I’ve heard all day. Please subscribe to my channel ruby.
I appreciate how he explains the reason why it doesn't stick properly and etc. So you get a better understanding how to use it and what to use it on, thanks for this!
Wow man, thank you so much, you are a business saver. I am a professional installer for about 20 years. And I’ve worked in hundreds of jobs and one thing I’m sure after this video. I learned couple of new things for sure. Keep up the good work Spencer. 🤗
Great installation tutorial! We all need Cal to assist. He did a fantastic job! Kudos to Cal!
Thank you Lisa; that young man was the son of the woman for whom I was hanging this peel and stick and she let me use his help. That’s why I didn’t know his name because he was actually the customer son LOL LOL LOL
@@spencercolgan LOL ... I did catch that in your video. You and Cal are a good team!!
Yeah nice one Cal
Sooooo informative! I am planning to use peel and stick for an update in the closet, and this is one if the best instructional videos I have seen.
You are an awesome teacher. Thanks again!
Kylana Garrison And you are an awesome viewer
Thank you for the video. Not only did I get a good footing on how to install this type of paper, I now understand the limitations and not to expect too much from Peel and Stick. It will work well for out temporary needs, but know that it will not be permanent.
Thx for the great help. I spent a lot of time getting wall flat and the bin primer is the ticket for great adhesion. I used to install window film on cars and homes . Was very similar and used my tinting tools
This was possibly the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. Thanks for all the great tips!
Good thing I watched this before I bought removable wallpaper for my textured wall!!
He seems very slow to anger,, which is always a good trait...
Good tips Spencer. Getting ready to hang a self-stick mural in my grand daughter's bedroom wall 84'x144". Like the eraser idea and will try it. Was thinking a piece of 1 1/2"x1/4" wood slat cut a little longer than the sheet width might help in keeping the unstuck sections of paper off the wall and help in securing it evenly using the eraser.
This video serendipitously appeared in my recommended section today. I’m hanging peel and stick wallpaper this weekend and your advice will be invaluable. I’ve also watched several other of your videos today (ok, three+ hours’ worth) and looking forward to more. I really appreciate your method of instruction and am a new subscriber. Thank you so much for your time and dedication to sharing your experience! Cheers from sunny Florida! 🌞
Please watch all of my p and s. This video does t show some other facets which are essential:

Hi Spencer, another great video on wallpaper installation. Lots of professional steps to learn from you. Keep doing a great job.
Thank you
You are quite welcome
You done a wonderful job articulating the install. Very meticulous and descriptive, great job, wish me luck!
i really appreciate the thoroughness, very helpful
Your tip on the eraser worked great! I used a high grade peel and stick with a thicker backing that did not have the same static issues that you had with the thin backing, so I was able to install it myself. Thanks for the video, B.
I have to do peel and stick.And would of done something like this.but now I have seen it done! makes me feel that I can succeed in doing it.thanks spencer!!
Great video very informative just saved me from making several mistakes . Thank you
Spencer you are an amazing teacher. I would definitely send your video to some of these product manufacturers they would definitely hirer you as an ambassador to their products. You keep to the important stuff and you definitely explain it with perfection
Dear Elizabeth, what can I say to such kind words as this? Thank you so much for taking the time to write them and I am so glad if this video was of any help to you.
Great demonstration and explanation sir. Well done
We succeeded thanks to you. The best peel and stick installation video that I was able to find. Thanks a lot!
I usually never make comments. But you deserved one, you are amazing! Thanks
Maren,
That comment was so nice and I greatly appreciate all the feedback good people like you leave me. It makes my labors worth it.
Great information and tips for installing peel and stick wallpaper! Thank you. Cal with his Christopher Walken sound demands that you pay attention! LOL
J. D. I know ! Sounds just like him .
I think you saved me a big headache lol I'm going to install some myself for an office space and I needed some solid tips. Thank you!
Very nice!!! Love it!!! Keep them coming.
Thanks for the tutorial. Instead of running to get a eraser I used both a roll of T.P and a paint roller. Worked great
Excellent idea!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip on using a paint roller instead of an eraser! I'm about to embark on my peel&stick installation and I have lots of unused paint rollers but no eraser. You just saved me a trip to the store!
Excellent tips! Thank you for sharing. Wish I found you before I my attempt to apply peel and stick wallpaper.
I don't think I've ever been so equally inspired and intimidated by a person on RUclips
LOL...Please tell me why some people are getting that impression from me? I don’t understand; please explain if you don’t mind
@@spencercolganI think it’s just because of your attentiveness to detail and focus on doing quality work (both great qualities) reads as intensity. No one would want to disappoint you with their substandard performance. 😂
Eraser nice tip thanks, lovely job
Seriously, best stick and peel wallpaper video, ever. Got my kitchen done in no time after watching this. THANK YOU!!
You’re welcome Jen.
Very thorough!! Best video about this and realistic about how to install . Thank you!!
Hello Spencer, these videos are so helpful I have a wall that needed to be primed. I painted it with killz primer and it has properly sealed. However now the paint has given it a slight texture. I know you have repeated to instal on a smooth surface. I was wonering if it is possible to simply sand it. Like others also love the “christopher walken” quality to your voice
Please make it smooth with a thin skim coat. Then prime again. Using a Purdy 3/8 nap roller.
Professor Spencer Colgan, you are a wonderful teacher!!!
Lol. Thank you for the hysterical laughter that you gave me this afternoon. I appreciate it vania.
Great tips. Going to do a small area of wall. My mom and I will use your tutorial to put it up. I found a faux rustic wood panel one I like at Home Depot.
Please RUclips my name and peel and stick. I did many peel n stick vids. Please watch a few more.
@@spencercolgan will do. I sent my mom the link to your video since like she’ll be the applier and I’ll be the one pulling back the backing. Most likely
Very good information shared. I ESPECIALLY liked the info shared on using an Eraser. I've installed peel and stick wallpaper A LOT and used credit card which I found would remove some of the color off of the wallpaper and I really don't care much for the white plastic tool you shared. I like the use of using it for the very reason you used it. New subbie here, TFS
Chalkboard eraser. Brilliant!
Jennifer, I wish I could tell you that it was my own idea; but somebody else told me that. I’m glad I was able to help
Beautiful paper, great video and awesome teaching of how to
Great video, Spencer. At the end, I was like, no!, show us that last step of cutting those edges straight without marking the wall with a blade, etc.
Him: do NOT peel this off. Do NOT
Me: yes dad
I am glad i watched this before installing the wallpaper on my own
Remember do not do this alone, like most videos I’ve seen today. Informative video Sir.
Hey Spencer I just watched your tutorial on self adhesive wallpaper last night because believe it or not I had to apply this horrendous material to a chimney breast today! You were lucky dude just putting it on a flat wall,I had to turn 2 external corners with the damn stuff. Mine was a normal wallpaper width but yours looked somewhat wider?. Great advice about the backing removal technique it worked a treat. Also I used a soft rubber spatula to apply it and think I got away with it. I had to wrap around the corners only slightly because the angles were miles off plumb,then had to slightly overlap the next piece but the end result wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. All I can say is “never again” Take care dude.
Here you go:
ruclips.net/video/1yMlZWj9zS8/видео.html
Spencer wow! Wish I’d known about this method yesterday. It seems so obvious now to use my ready mixed adhesive with this type of paper. The brand I used actually said on the instructions that you must overlap each piece by 0.5mm because over time it s possible that the self adhesive could be compromised and would shrink,therefore creating a gap in the joints. So I did this but must say wasn’t happy because it had a matching pattern! The customer thought it looked great but I came away disappointed and felt guilty taking my fee. If I came across this again I probably would give your method a go and let you know how it went but won’t lose any sleep if I don’t haha. Cheers dude take care out there.
Looking to skim coat my wall. What primer is best for adhesion?
Thanks for making these videos! I was just going to try to put my peel/stick on a textured wall until I came across this.
I’m so glad you saw this video’. Please use Guards or Bins. Both are from Zinsser.
Thank you for the tips. I recently put some paper on my counter and have quite a few air bubbles and on another project have a wrinkle. I am going to try what you say, wish me luck!
Omg every tip you mentioned is true.
I found out the hard way.
Wish I had seen your video before installing the wallpapers 😭😂
I used a chunk of the backing paper and a putty knife. Went over the entire mural with a 12 inch square of backing burnushing the entire strip specially around the edges. No marks, backing protects completely. I had a few timy tony bubbles. Poke with a pin and burnish. Bubbles gone. Looks great.
So happy to hear that!!!
Good tips. Good job! TY
Great instruction, thanks! Regarding the air bubbles: say the installation is done, and you notice a bubble, could you not take a needle and make a tiny hole in the bubble to allow air to escape as you re-flatten? The hole would be almost invisible I would think.
Wait 48 hours then do that.
So informative, I’m so glad I clicked on this one! Thanks!!
You’re so welcome!
Spencer. Great video. Thank you so much for posting this. One question. When. you say prime the walls you refer to getting rid of the texture? You mentioned something about a primer also. Which one?
Thank you!
This newest video explains all of it!
ruclips.net/video/Ggk_1vbkKq4/видео.html
Hi Spencer, your explanation is very detailed and precise. Greatly appreciated. I am about to do a project for my mom's house, except that it is tiled. How would you propose that work with to ensure that the grouting lines between every tile does not have that line of air bubble gap?
You cannot proceed without making that surface flat. You can apply an even smooth layer of compound in a Skimcoat fashion then hang peel and stick after primer
@@spencercolgan thanks Spencer.
THANK YOU FOR THE RIGHT TOOL ADVICE. LIFE SAVER
Question Spencer, I’ve hung buzzie felt sound proofing that had a sticky back and what we did to help us adjust each piece was paste the wall prior to hanging which helped us slide the piece on the wall and adjust it to where we needed it. Can you do that will peel and stick?
Anthony Rocha ! Amazing question. So much so that I answer your question in a subsequent video! Here it is brother:
ruclips.net/video/1yMlZWj9zS8/видео.html
Great one shot presentation 🙌🏼
Fantastic!! I am thinking of purchasing peel & stick wallpaper but to have a professional install it. However, my walls are standard wallboard that has matte finish paint that was applied with a roller 25 years ago. Does this mean that I cannot use peel & stick without refinishing my walls first? If so, the gorgeous wallpaper I wanted from Germany may be too much trouble.
It's very similar to working with vinyl and transfer paper. I'm not sure if this technique will help with this but it's helpful to tape the top with painter's tape and creating a hinge to peel the plastic out from behind.
This video encouraged me to buy normal wallpaper and forget about using peel and stick wallpaper ever 😂
I have wallpapered probably 60 rooms. Tried this peel and stick grasscloth on the back of bookcase shelves--I absolutely hate installing it !!!!!. Regular paper is SO MUCH easier!!
Awesome illustration gentleman.
Geekwraps tools has plastic felt edge squeegees that can be used with this material also when squeegeeing I always angle my strokes so that to push the air down or up depending on where I started.
Hi, thanks for your video. I’m trying to re purpose a shelving system to use out doors in my backyard. Besides paint, I’m using vinyl wallpaper, peel and stick, for the sides and back of the shelving system. The wood is some sort particle board. What should I use to seal it, and protect it from the Florida sun and rain? Will sealers adhere to the vinyl? Should I use a water based polyurethane first over the paint to seal the wood, and then apply the vinyl wallpaper? Will the wallpaper stick to the sealer? I also would rather have a matte finish, but don’t even know if any of this is possible. This is my first project.....so I am a bit lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Seal the wood with BIN feom zinsser. The vinyl won’t stand up to the expansion and contraction of outdoor use.
I have been applying wall covering for quite a few years, still not a fan of this peel-n-stick stuff. Did a small above the chair rail mural a few weeks ago, came out pretty good. I have a small kids bathroom to do next week with peel-n-stick, not looking forward to it. I think my OCD for perfection is going to be out of control. Thank you for the great tip with the dry erase applicator,,,,never thought of that.
Hey man so did you end up skimming the wall ?
I had a 130 year old Victorian and hung a lot of wallpaper over the 40 years I owned it. Boy is peel and stick different! Thanks for giving me sound instructions I would have done it wrong.
Do me a favor call Lynn go and take a look at my other peel and stick videos because this does not cover everything. Put my name and peel and stick in my search on my channel
you said it be done in a minute and it took more then a minute. Good job on explaining how stick and peel works and also how to apply the wallpaper
Hi there Spencer! I'm hooked on your videos. Thank you for them. I've purchased peel-n-stick, simply because I love the design, but it's not available any other way. It will be installed on a wall very much like on this video. My question... I'd like it to be more permanent. I've sanded and primed the wall. Should I pretreat the wall with Gardz, or maybe even should I use a weldbond/water mixture? Any suggestions? Thank you so much. Debra
Mam. Thank you for watching.
Smooth your walls. Then use gardz after smoothing. Let dry overnight. Then guess what. Using clamps on a table, pull wax backing off of your peel n stick and using a roller, apply clear heavy duty paste. Yes. Paste! A thin layer making sure you cover every square inch.
Thanks for watching!

Hey Spencer. Great tutorial as usual. Have you ever removed one and if so what did the walls look like afterwards?
Never removed sir
Great video! But what about the trimming of the excess? Do you use an exact knife or a box cutter? Any trips or tricks to getting the right?
Please check out any one of my other videos on Wallpaper and you will see how to trim this because it’s the same exact way in every other video
Looks great! Can you use this removal wall paper over top of existing wall paper? Would you consider this 'cost effective? How hard is it to remove and is there any residual 'adhesive or anything left on the wall when removed?
1. You cannot use this paper over existing wallpaper.
2. It is not cost-effective.
3. It is not hard to remove since there is no glue being used in this video for this material.
4. There is no residual anything left on the wall when you remove it.
Dad is giving me control freak vibes. And i am here for it ☺️
Thank you very much Spencer.
Thank you
You mentioned using a blow dryer to help the adhesive stick better. Do you blow dry it after it's been applied to the wall?
Heather. This is all inclusice:

I hope you're still replying to comments! 1. This was perfect, thank you. 2. Should I be buying vinyl or non woven wallpaper?
Paper! If you can help it. Or conventional vinyl with a pastable backing! Thanks feom the USA.
What is a good primer to use prior to hanging the peel n stick? I'm in CA so we have Home Depot / Lowes.
Roman 999. Or zinsser guards sir!
Hello. Great video. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have a bathroom that currently is wallpapered. Can I apply the peel and stick over it ( the wallpaper is smooth not textured)?
Great question; the answer is: no way
@@spencercolgan Thank you for the answer. Very disappointing to hear I can’t put it on top of an outdated ugly wallpaper. I am unable unfortunately to strip the existing paper. Thank you again.
Spencer could you please tell me more about wall prep. Is it better to use satin or semi gloss behind peel and stick Mural? Can I use a special product, wall paste on the wall instead of repainting the wall that will help the Mural stick better? I am installing a Mural on a wall in our church that is @ 8 ' x 12'. Areas of the wall will be repaired and plastered first. If we can put a wall preparation product over the repaired wall instead of paint that would save time and money. If you have a product to recommend please let me know what it is.
Please RUclips Spencer Colgan peel and stick and see my other videos on the subject.
Thank you, sir, for this great instructional video. I feel confident about the shown process, but I must admit I'm anxious about trimming the excess with a scalpel. I'm afraid there's no way to avoid any contact with the underlying surface, and I wouldn't want to leave marks.
Please. Have confidence
@@spencercolgan best reply in the history of youtube 🤣💙
Love this method
Thanks Spencer for the tutorial. My wall is painted with a roller and the paint became like orange peel. So it came like a texture wall. Can I use additional glue? Where do I put the glue, on the wallpaper or on the wall? And lastly, what kind of glue do I buy. Thank you very much.
OK, my friend! Now you are in advanced Peel and stick wallpaper procedures… Go to your local store and get a clear, strippable, heavy duty, Wallpaper paste. And then, with the help of another person, using a table, clamping down the peel and stick product - after you get the backing off of the top part, clamp down the peel and stick, and then with a paint roller, with a small amount of paste on the roller, Begin rolling your paste pulling it in one direction on the peel and stick… It is essential that you do not use lots of glue… A thin layer will suffice… Then get yourself a transparent plastic paint edger Harbor Freight, make sure it has no scratches on it that will scratch your peel and stick, And, going in one direction, starting at least 15 inches from the top, with two hands, putting gentle pressure on the peel and stick product, push against the wall and pull straight down, feathering out the paste underneath, but, only after you have sprayed a layer of water on the product before you pull the paint edger against the peel and stick… This will avoid scratch the product
You will then learn your success and failure as you pull your… You will learn if you used too much paste because it will be oozing out of the bottom and the edge of your peeling stick, you will know if you have scratches on your paint edger because it will scratch your peel and stick if you were not careful; but you will have great success if you do it well another thing, straight down and do this the left side of the peel and stick, the middle, and the right making sure that you begin this process in the middle column and then on either side, and you will have a perfectly installed product
Very helpful - thank you 😊
Great job, thanks!
Spencer, do you have any experience with this product being used in extreme heat? Thinking about our RV but also thinking the heat in the RV while stored may effect the adhesive? Thanks
I would not be concerned with extreme heat. But what I would do in that situation anyway yes to go to the paint store and get a mold inhibitor that is used for pain, then I would get 1 gallon of Roman 880 paste, and paste the wall in your RV with the mold inhibitor mixed into the paste and then I would hang my peel and stick over the wet Paste after removing the backing from the Peel and stick 875 stop and then I would enjoy my Peel and stick Product.
I just partially finished wallpapering a small foyer wall with this stuff. My walls are plaster and not until I opened the instructions did I see that it's not for plaster walls. sigh. It's small enough so I can 'fix' it without too much headache, but I am definitely going back to wallpaper and paste! Old school is best.
Nothing against Spencer, but this video was made five years ago and I do believe that in my extensive research for wall murals both peel and stick and must use wallpaper paste types of murals that things have come a long way. Like anything really you get what you pay for, so going on Amazon and finding the least expensive scene, or mural that you think you could live with is NOT the way to go unless you want to be disappointed or worse are not able to get it on the wall and have it look good and more importantly STAY on the wall! I used to do wallpapering years ago, with the traditional rolls that had to be pasted and also the walls had to be prepared well to get a good result. I always had a plumb ball with me as there is not such thing as perfectly plumb walls or perfect corners. Nowadays people use the laser tools to establish level and plumb so you know where to hang the first piece. I have looked at a large number of places online that sell wall murals and wallpaper, some are peel and stick or you have the option to choose to get the type that you use paste with. The backing that is on peel and stick that is the easiest to deal with is not this celephane type stuff he is using that gets all full of static. Good sellers have much better backing that is not a problem to work with and it is in the instructions to pull the backing down about 12" and then fold and score it out of the way. then once you have the top of the panel or roll in the right spot and have smoothed it down being sure to get all the air bubbles out, you can just reach around both sides at once (without a helper) or each of you pull the back down in approximately 12" at a time repeating the smoothing and so on. I was getting a rash watching how painfully and tedious this was!!! I would NOT by a product like he is using and I am assuming because of the age of this post that stuff like this is not made anymore for obvious reasons. One company that has a good reputation with a lot of DIY people on U tube and even designers is Wallism. they have a great selection of murals in all kinds of sizes and I think they will also custom size if that is what you want and need. They seem to back their product and offer lots of information about installation from preparing the surfaces to be covered, to keeping your delivery of product in the home or room for several days before installing similar to what you do with laminate flooring. Also, if you live in a home that is older or doesn't have the best craftsmenship you might as well plan on "framing" your mural because where your walls meet the ceiling or the corners are not going to be perfect. If you use a square you can find out if your corners are ok, you can use a level along the top where the wall meets the ceiling to see if the joinery is level, you can use an old fashioned plum line or go out and get a laser tool. You should watch as many tutorials as possible and get all the instructions you can from the business you bought from and do the prep work as boring as that may be, or else you will be at wits end and maybe even very disappointed, and worse maybe tear it all down your so upset! DIY is good but one MUST do the research and I say start off with something small before you go for a big job. I am 71 , I bought a lovely mural from Wallism and it is big, 15,5 feet wide and 9 ft in length. The back was great, the material of the mural itself was strong and because I did all the work first to determine plumb, level and surface quality, I hung it all by myself no helper and I did half one day, and the other half the next day and lived to tell about it and it is simply gorgeous and worth the $500.00 plus I paid for it on sale and the tools etc needed to do the work right and safely, safely I am referring to a new and very robust step ladder. Good luck , just remember that you get what you pay for and to DIY you need to know what your getting into.
Metodo de aplicacion perfecto! Una excelente explicación !
Me gusta mucho senor. Dios le bendiga. Hablo espanol tambien!

The eraser is genius! Thanks.
Great video! Thank you! I'm so glad I watched it before my peel & stick application on Thursday. I'm planning on using it on wood paneling that is painted. Do you think it will stay in place or fall off the wall? I guess I could fill all of the wood gaps, but I'd rather not destroy the integrity of our mid-century modern home.

you need to prepare that would be for you put this type of wallpaper on it, unfortunately.
Here’s want to do; prime your panelling first with BIN. Unfortunately, it get more involved; skim coat into those grooves to fill them in. Then use wallpaper paste, Roman 880 and apply it to your wall covering yes, use paste.
Thanks miss Zara.
great video, thanks!
What about bathrooms or room with higher humidity? Recommend or not?
I highly recommend 2 people for installation, also. I had a heII of a time just installing contact paper in my kitchen cupboards by myself! By the end I was so frustrated that I didn't care if my shelving paper had creases.
Love the eraser tip!
Will it lose its stickiness or create bubbles overtime on high temperature (eg. tropical country)?
