Adhesive Vinyl Installation

Method: Peel and Stick

Before you start:

The texture of the starting surface will determine the texture of your finished Scene. For best results either sand the wall smooth or use drywall compound to bring the surface up to a smooth, consistent finish.

What you need:

• A Ladder or two
• Squeegee or two
• A friend to help out
• Soft Rags
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Utility Knife or Straight Edge Razor Blade

Optional Items you may need:

• Wall/Crown molding
• Finishing nails

Instructions:

1. Dampen a soft cloth with rubbing alcohol and liberally apply to the entire surface. Be sure to remove all dust and imperfections before moving forward.
2. Remove all light switches, electrical outlets and any other plates from the wall.
3. Separate the Scene into sections, beginning from left to right. **The Scene is specifically designed to be hung from LEFT to RIGHT.
4. Using your friends help, outstretch the first section of the Scene across the area where you plan to install your Wall-scene. Make sure that your scene is aligned exactly to your preference.
5. Using a pencil, make marks at the edges of the Scene. These marks will serve as your points of reference when tacking the Scene up.
6. Peel the backing 2 to 4 inches down from the top edge of your first section. This will leave the entire top section of your Scene exposed and ready for application.
7. Carefully align and apply the top edge flush with your markings or the wall’s edge, whichever you’re working with. It is important to align this edge so that the rest of the Scene will match your markings.
8. Let the Scene drape to the bottom. If you are satisfied with the alignment, you may proceed to step 9. If not, peel back the vinyl and realign the Scene to match your marks.
9. For best results, it is important to peel back between 2 and 4 inches of the backing at a time. Trying to apply large sections at a time will usually result in wrinkles and large air bubbles.
10. As you cover the holes for your outlets and switches, cut a small slit with your blade that will allow you to later locate the areas where outlet covers belong.
11. As you peel away the adhesive backing, use your squeegee to work the air bubbles towards the edges of the vinyl. Use this technique to work your way to the bottom of your Scene.
12. Start from the center of your Scene and use your squeegee to move air bubbles and the soap and water to the left and right edges. You may lift any edge of the Window-scene and smooth back down if you are having difficulty removing air bubbles. Don’t be afraid to spray more soap and water if you need to
13. If you are having trouble with some air bubbles or wrinkles, use a small pin and a hairdryer to work out the bubbles.**
14. Locate and prepare the next section of your Wall-scene. Remember, you are working from LEFT to RIGHT.
15. Important: All sections other than section 1 of your Scene have a 1 ½” overlap that you must account for. (i.e. the right edge of section 1 and the left edge of section 2 do not line up). The left edge of section 2 lines up with section one about 1 ½” in from section one’s right edge.
16. An easy way to ensure correct alignment is to unroll the entire section of the Scene and visually align before adhering to the surface.
17. Repeat steps 3-11. This time your marks will be on top of the previous applied section of the Scene.
18. After installing your final section, use your utility knife of razor to trim any excess material.
19. Be sure to locate the slits you cut for your outlet covers and carefully trim the material to fit this size. Reinstall your outlet coverts in their designated holes.
20. ENJOY YOUR NEW VIEW!
