I have been watching a ton of "How To Wallpaper" videos. Yours was *by far* the most helpful. Here's why: - I could hear you clearly, because you took the extra time to do a voiceover - Probably because you chose a voiceover, viewers got concise information rather than a real time / stream of consciousness type of instruction. - You used simple tools I own or could purchase inexpensively. For some reason a laser level seems a bit intimidating when I'm already trying to master a new skill. - You rolled/brushed the paste on the wall. I've seen this approach demonstrated by a British wallpaper manufacturer, but it give me confidence that this will work when I see a pro working in the field do this. Many of the pros making videos are pasting the paper and booking...again, I'm looking for the most simple way to install my first wallpaper project. - Not sure why this did not occur to me, but when I saw you move around the room holding up the roll of wallpaper, that was super helpful! It's an incredibly easy way to see where the seams will be. - Your corner explanation was easy to understand. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP 🙂

It’s my pleasure…glad to help!

[@morganbristle6334]

I have an external corner in my bathroom. Would you recommend starting near the external corner or above the door like in this video?

[@aboutmurals]

@@morganbristle6334 start in the least conspicuous spot, which is usually next to a door. When you come around the entire room, the pattern never matches where the last panel meets the first panel. The space above the door is the smallest vertical meeting point, so you’re less likely to see the inconsistency in the pattern.

[@lindawatts5260]

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

[@aboutmurals]

You can definitely do this! Here’s a video on measuring for wallpaper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHybdqeGm8d1ldEsi=K3tYkTDg54LbscdY Let me know how it goes!

[@arinpounov369]

This was very informative thank you very much. Is there glue that does better for moisture such as bathrooms with shower in it?

[@aboutmurals]

It really depends on what the manufacturer suggests is a compatible paste. You definitely want a wallpaper paste that has mould and mildew inhibitor in it because of the moisture in a bathroom.

[@arinpounov369]

Makes sense, thanks for your reply! @@aboutmurals

[@ItzShannyBayB06]

Hi. Do I need to Prime my wall first? It’s painted in an eggshell finish but I took the builder grade closet racks out and had to patch and sand quite a few holes. Not sure if I can apply right over that.

[@aboutmurals]

@@ItzShannyBayB06 hi! Regular latex paint is fine to wallpaper over as long as it’s been dried for at least 21 days. I don’t recommend hanging over latex primer though. Wallpaper won’t stick to fresh compound so you need to paint over those little patched holes. Check the Wallpaper manufacturers instructions as well, because they may recommend a certain kind of primer.

[@Sheatelford]

Would you put wallpaper on a light Santa Fe wall texture? Or would you skim coat the walls to be smooth first?

[@aboutmurals]

Most wallpaper will have trouble adhering to texture…although there is some commercial wallpaper that might work. I recommend skim coating, sanding and using an appropriate primer or paint that dries/cures for at least 21 days.

[@Mobile-pd1uc]

Impressive, great skill.

[@aboutmurals]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@ItzShannyBayB06]

Hi, is the leveler strictly for getting a straight line? Can I use a yard stick to draw a straight line?

[@aboutmurals]

@@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.

[@InfinityHealthPilates]

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.

[@aboutmurals]

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

[@AChickandaDuck]

Totally agree about peel-and-stick! It’s ironic that it’s marketed as a DIY-friendly option because in my experience it’s so much harder to install

[@aboutmurals]

SO much harder! It’s my mission in life to exile it. 😂

[@snow4days]

Agree. I’m half way through installing it in my bathroom and has been a nightmare. Wife doesn’t understand why it’s taking me so long. I’ve never had it be so hard to install wallpaper. Never again.

[@diegodto]

@@aboutmurals I just put a thin layer of paste...it's working so far

Has anyone tried Roman E-Z wallpaper helper for peel and stick? It is a spray that allows you to re-position peel and stick wallpaper

[@loadedfun4764]

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.

What's a fair price to pay for someone to hang wallpaper on a wall that is roughly 150 square feet

[@aboutmurals]

That’s a tough one! It depends on experience, overhead (insurances, vehicle, marketing, etc) and the city you live in.

[@rogerbeilby1795]

Keep well away from peel ans stick wallpaper, you have no slip, slide, no time to manoeuvre as this crap product just GRABS, As regards applying any form of Wallpapers in bathrooms the wallpaper has a limited life, all due to the steam - take this advice from a wallpaper hanger.

[@aboutmurals]

Thanks for the tip, Roger! I saw a product online a couple days ago that sprays onto the wall before you hang peel and stick to give it slip. Have you heard of it or tried it? I’m curious. Probably too good to be true. 😂

[@rogerbeilby1795]

Just for my curiosity, I undertook a little detective work on the adhesive on a Peel an stick product -- once the backing was removed I sprayed on water, yes water with my fingers rubbed the adhesive, I found that the water neutralised the adhesive - you mention about a product that can be sprayed onto the substrate to assist with the slip, slide etc the product which is sprayed is called water, as I've mentioned above water neutralises the adhesive, peel and stick products are a DIY product as an alternative to using a conventional wallpaper, if your still wanting to use a Peel and Stick product after reading my post --- go ahead all the best .

[@aboutmurals]

@@rogerbeilby1795 I just looked it up again. It’s Roman E-Z Hang spray. Apparently you spray it on the wall and then peel and stick slides around during install. I was curious if any other installers have used it before. Maybe I’ll do a community post and get some feedback. Thanks for the feedback about the water. You’re awesome!

[@rogerbeilby1795]

@aboutmurals I have only seen the use of water spray I haven't heard of this Roman E-Z spray I'll do my detective work on this product, while I'm on this topic from my perspective as a wallpaper installer ( hanger) if I'm hanging a wallpaper, my preparation --- over a water based paint --- a light sand down to create a KEY, the applying of a wallpaper size ( a thin layer of wallpaper adhesive) finally the applying of a wallpaper adhesive to the wallpaper, I can appreciate the DIY fibs it to much hassle as to my procedure let's remember I'm a professional person I cannot take the risk of cutting corners when it comes to surface presentations and installation wallpaper -- as mentioned the Peel and stick products are a classed / promoted as a DIY product I'm not DIY, hope all this makes sense.

[@aboutmurals]

@@rogerbeilby1795 that totally makes sense! I mostly hang pasted wallpaper and try my best to avoid the peel and stick (I HATE it), but I get a lot of DIYers asking me about peel and stick. If this spray product works, I'd love to be able to tell them about it to help out. Would love to hear your findings after your detective work. :)
