Preparation of Goods: Examine goods to assure that pattern,

color, quantity, and quality are as ordered. Separate goods by shade

lot number and organize in roll number sequence, starting with

the highest.

Reverse-roll the material for about an hour prior to installing.

Reverse-rolling will release curl memory in the wallcovering.

Re-roll to original form before installing.

Remove any substrate mildew with a chlorine bleach solution.

Rinse and allow to dry before installing. Wash greasy walls with

an ammonia solution. Rinse and allow to dry before installing.

New Drywall - The minimum gypsum board finish is a level 4 per

GA-214 published by the Gypsum Association and endorsed by

AWCI, PDCA, GA, and CISCA, although, a level 5 finish is preferred.

Follow with a good quality pigmented acrylic wallcovering primer for

a proper installation and product performance. Sand smooth any

stipple or brush marks left from the primers.

New Plaster - Allow wall to completely cure for 60 to 90 days. Walls

should be checked with a suitable moisture meter. Moisture content

should not exceed 4%. Follow with a good quality pigmented acrylic

wallcovering primer for a proper installation and product performance.

Sand smooth any stipple or brush marks left from the primers.

Painted Surface - The resilience of moisture must be tested. With

a wet sponge or cloth, hold directly on the painted surface for a

few seconds and then wipe vigorously with the sponge or cloth. If

no paint is removed, the paint is sound. The paint is moisture

sensitive if any amount is removed. Moisture sensitive paint should

be sanded or washed with ammonia to remove the paint. The

surface should then be primed with a good quality pigmented

acrylic wallcovering primer. Sand smooth any stipple or brush

marks left from the primers.

Walltalkers wallcovering may allow show-through due to the limited

amount of opacity. It is recommended to use a good quality white

acrylic primer.

Application of Dry Erase Wallcovering: When installing vertically,

use a plumb line. When installing horizontally, use a level line.

Horizontal installation is recommended. Although seams can be

written over, it is suggested to keep them out of the primary writing

and viewing areas.

Primary Viewing/Writing Area:

30-88" for 60" product*

32-84" for 54" product*

33-81" for 50" product*

34-80" for 48" product*

Be sure to reverse every other strip regardless of vertical or horizontal

installation method.

Cut strips a few inches longer than required to allow for trimming at

sidewalls, ceilings, and baseboards. Apply a uniform coat of heavy-duty

clay based or heavy-duty clear adhesive to the wall where each strip

will be installed, overlap the edges at least 2". Re-paste any dry areas

or if there is a delay in hanging.

to remove air and excessive paste pockets from behind the dry erase

wallcovering. Smooth material on the wall from the middle to the

outside edges. Do not press hard enough to cause indentations in the

finished product.

Trim material that the ceiling, baseboard, windows, and doors with

a single edged razor blade (change razor blade often).

Overlapping and double cutting is highly recommended to ensure

neat and tight seams. Use a seam cutting tool to prevent penetrating

the substrate.

Approximately 20 to 30 minutes after each piece is hung, using a

seam roller, lightly roll or press the seams down making sure not to

cause indentations in the finished product.
