Hanging Borders
DIRECTIONS
STEP 1
Start by selecting a border that reflects your style. If you are hanging the border on a wall that has already been painted or wallpapered, bring a paint chip or wallpaper swatch for matching. Likewise, if you already have a border you like, bring it with you when you shop for paint.
STEP 2
Clean the surface and make sure the wall is free of any dirt, grease, wax, old wallpaper adhesive, mold and mildew and other contaminants. The border will best hang on a clean, dry surface.
STEP 3
If you are hanging a pre-pasted border on a painted or wallpapered surface, use SureGrip® Universal Border Adhesive. Use the roller applicator to apply SureGrip® to the back of the border. Then, fold the border back to itself – paste to paste – in 18” lengths, to create an “accordion fold”, until the entire length has been prepped and folded.
STEP 4
Hold the folded border in one hand and unfold it with the other, placing it in position on the wall.
STEP 5
After hanging the border, smooth it using the WalWiz® to remove air pockets. Use a sponge or towel and clean water to remove any excess adhesive.
