How to Hang Peel and Stick Wallpaper: Master Class - Spencer Colgan

[@janekopley3893]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am about to begin peel and stick project and you have the best info I have found. I'm so impressed with your skills. I'll report back when I'm done. The DIY hangers say nothing about wall prep. I think this info will save me a lot of beginner worries.

[@MiniMidgMom]

Perfect! Not because you said to, but because it is!

[@donnafogarty6389]

Spencer, I’ve learned so much from your videos. I have a new closet in a bathroom. 2 walls are covered with a vinyl Sheetrock (used in mobile homes) with the “strip” removed. The third wall is brand new Sheetrock. If I used Zinsser Guardz over all the walls, is that sufficient to hand peel and stick wallpaper? If not, what more needs to be done? Thank you

[@spencercolgan]

It’s not enough. Prime it 2x with zinsser BIN. the next day, prime with Gardz. Let it dry. Make sure There is no texture on these vinyl walls. If there is, SkimCoat over this after BIN. finish it off with Gardz if you have to skim coat. Then Apply paste to the back of your peel n stick. Yes. Paste. Dynamite 234. Or. Roman. 880. Hang it like regular paper. Please now take a moment to write a five star review for me telling people how much you have learned from my videos and my guidance. I would greatly appreciate that if you will do it on the following link www.google.com/search?q=tampa%20wallpaper%20installer&tbm=#lkt=LocalPoiReviews&trex=m_t:lcl_akp,rc_f:nav,rc_ludocids:18168418332679895040,rc_q:Spencer%2520Colgan%2520-%2520Wallpaper%2520Installer,ru_q:Spencer%2520Colgan%2520-%2520Wallpaper%2520Installer,trex_id:XCBBr

[@christinehendry302]

perfect... The sticker wall paper you have used I brought its brother Grey black and gold amazing ... but no one in NZ will hang it....!! SO I am so I really appreciate the lessons ... thank you.

[@spencercolgan]

You’re so welcome

[@carrdeco]

nice videos! thanks for the tip on the materials you like to use David Carr

[@erichschader1079]

Thanks Spencer. Considering how labor intensive this is, how do you justify labor to the client? Many clients choose these materials because they are less expensive than traditional wallpaper so they are already looking to pay less. But the labor cost should theoretically be more than installing traditional wallpaper.

[@spencercolgan]

Exactly correct! Do you really wanna know? Man, are you actually chose a wall covering that will cost you more in labour for me to hang. I will hang out, I am the only one who can do it in my area but if you insist… 90% of the time they say you are hired… I love this pattern and I cannot find it in a product that is not peel and stick

[@VerholtzGary]

I’m glad I watched your video, I had orange peel and just did a skim coat and was going to paint the wall but from your video I don’t need to paint, just use Roman pro 977 and wait for it to dry. How long should that take?

[@spencercolgan]

1 day. Let it harden.

[@roxannebrooksadamson3208]

Extreme bond by Sherman Williams is what I used 2weeks ago to prep freshly smoothed walls with mud. Are you saying this product does not work.

[@sandramoe6888]

Spencer also is it also recommending when priming bin I would also use a sizing after wards love your videos. Thank You.

[@spencercolgan]

No way. Nothing after BIN.

[@spencercolgan]

Thanks for watching

[@sandramoe6888]

ok I have not done this YET! I've been watching many videos I skim coated the wall than I primed Bin or Zinsser shellac I thought you recommanded than to paint with Satin /or Eggshell paint. well now I see that you now are using a glue. before you hang and you said to let it dry. But than when you are applying wallpaper the glue is seeps out from under the peal and stick . I have smoothed prime and painted. do I now still have to size the wall over the painted wall now. the wall has now dried 3 weeks . but you are saying to let the sizing to be dry but your PN has glue seeping out I say that again . PLEASE help Sandy PS Thank You for your Great videos and very patient Explanations..

[@spencercolgan]

@@sandramoe6888 Please don’t confuse of water that I put under the peel and stick Product with Paste. You did great Sandra! If you feel confident that you can hang your peel and stick, you are ready to go with what you just explain, you don’t have to wait that long. Unless of course the canna paint tells you that it takes 25 days to fully cure. Then of course, you would have to wait; I will tell you that peel and stick and graphics are very sensitive to oxygen release from the paint underneath it. But it sounds like you are ready to hang your peel and stick. If you have any trouble with, I advise you to to Use a clear paste underneath it with a very thin layer. Please tell me if you understand so that I know you will be OK. Thank you so much for watching.

[@jennifernewton3402]

Hello Mr. Spencer, first off Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge on wallpaper. My question is I have removed vinyl wallpaper from a powder room and apparently it was hung correctly as it came off easily. Other than wiping the walls so I need to prep the walls again. They were prepped under the original wallpaper? I’m using P&S but the original paper was vinyl. Thank you in advance.

[@spencercolgan]

Great question! You will need to make your walls flat from the rough texture that dry paste creates. Put gardz over it. Let dry a day. Then patch where rough with j. Compound. Let it dry. Apply Gardz over your joint compound. Let dry 1/2 a day. Hang your paper!!

[@rooirand100]

Thanks for the great videos Spencer! I just found you a few days ago and although i looked at KZbin before beginning my project a few months ago, i didn’t find your channel. So i used peel & stick on a wall in my horse trailer which is 21 years old. I prepared the paneled walls and someone mentioned that i use a floor primer (think he thought i had peel & stick tiles not the contact paper type). The peel & Stick went on great, no air pockets or anything. I was so impressed and it looked amazing, about 3 weeks later, i opened the trailer and the whole peel and stick was bubbled everywhere - totally ruined. It’s not a big area so I’d love to do it again. Can you give me any pointers on how to redo this again only right this time? Is there a specific sealer that will seal the wood? Then use the BIN primer? I also live in a climate (Wisconsin) that gets cold in winter, hot and humid in the summer and how will this effect the product? The trailer is not heated or air conditioned so the temperature is whatever it is outside. I’m also looking at doing a wall paper mural on the ceiling but, you can be sure, I’m watching more of your channel first! Thanks for everything you do to help us! I’m definitely subscribed!

Hi Spencer I’m in the process of hanging 54” wide peel and stick, my question is is there tips and tricks to hang this? My project is in a bathroom. Thanks

[@spencercolgan]

Max. 54” in a bathroom is not easy to do. Bathrooms are tight. I’d be inclined to cut that in half and make it into 27” wide pieces. Please watch several of my peel n stick videos including but especially “The Secret to Hanging Peel and Stick Wallpaper.”

[@maxheltzel7036]

@@spencercolgan thank you for taking time out to help me with this not so typical issue, so will I have to double cut the center of the 27” or butt it each section?

[@spencercolgan]

@@maxheltzel7036 I would think of doing that. P. And S is difficult to manage at that width in small areas.

[@calvinmcnorton7466]

An effective way to start peeling away from the corner of the peel and stick is to use a small piece of gorilla tape that runs across the corner of the backing on the back and it easily peels away by starting to peel away the product from the backing by the tip. It is very easy!

[@maritzacaro8775]

Excellent work!!!

[@johnattend6915]

Hi Spencer which glue did you used for this job ? All regular wallpaper paste ? Another question about the titebond wood glue 1 cup of glue mixed with 2 cups of water can I use this one like primer R35 for all of my project ? Thanks a lot

[@spencercolgan]

You certainly can John. Sorry I never saw this question. Also, yes one cup of tight bond wood glue, two parts water; I would prefer that you use weld bond.

[@PMSAvenger1]

I recently bought some peel and stick wall paper because I heard it would be easy. I can see from your video that this really isn't an easy task. The wall I intended to put it on seems to be textured which I didn't realize until you mentioned it. It is textured like an orange peel. Should I still proceed? You mentioned a product called BIN. I found some online and it seems there are many BIN products that vary widely in price. Can you tell me specifically which one I should buy? I see the wallpaper you did in this video turned out perfect.

[@spencercolgan]

Do not hang that over texture. Make your wall smooth. Then prime with Roman 999 wait 24 hours and then hang your peel and stick

[@PMSAvenger1]

@@spencercolgan Thank you. I will do this.

[@PMSAvenger1]

@@spencercolgan : Ok, I found it on Amazon. It seems it only comes in large cans (I'm in Canada and we may not have as many products). I have another question for you. Can I also use this product to fill the vertical lines on 1970s wood paneling? Can I put wall paper over it if I fill in those vertical lines? If so, which product do I fill it in with if it's different than the 999? Or did you say to never put wall paper on the paneling, only paint?

Perfect 😊 In another video from a couple years earlier you said it was not a one man job and we should smooth only with an eraser and do it horizontally only. I wonder if that was tailored for the beginners? Or did you change your mind with years of experience?

[@spencercolgan]

Yes, correct….you’re astute. Ideally, a 2-person job.

[@mariefernandeaugustin1392]

Hi! The instructions on the brand of peel/stick I purchased said it must be installed over semigloss or at least satin paint . So do I ignore the instructions?

[@spencercolgan]

Marie…. I’m baffled at those instructions. Baffled. You’re essentially hanging a decal. A decal will not stick to a shiny surface. Here’s what you do. Cut a piece of a roll off of your material. 2 feet long. Push it on your wall. Give it 2 weeks. See if it falls down. I know I’m asking you to wait so long. But I’m telling you….I have seen multiple failures with peel n stick with people sending me pics of their material falling down.

[@mariefernandeaugustin1392]

@@spencercolgan thank you for replying Spencer! The brand is Tempaper- a Genevieve Gorder design called “Feather Flock”. I intuitively thought semigloss didn’t make sense! I’ve been googling just to be sure I was reading that right. And I’ve seen other brands say walls should be flat. Lol. I’m waiting for the paint to cure right now. I will give it a test run!
