Position the second panel on the wall so that the image lines up the correct way from top to bottom. Repeat the process in 12″ increments until the first panel is installed.Īfter the first panel is applied, you’re ready for the second. It’s much easier to get them out now than it will be once the entire mural is installed. Check your work to make sure there are no bubbles. Use the squeegee with horizontal strokes and continue to apply it to the wall. Once the top of the panel is successfully applied in a straight and level manner, reach behind the panel and pull down 12″ or so of the backing paper to expose the adhesive layer. Use the squeegee to re-adhere it, moving from the center of the panel, in each direction side to side, to the edges of the panel. If you do end up with a wrinkle or air bubble, gently lift the mural off of the surface just past the bubble and re-apply. Slow and steady and with just enough pressure to remove wrinkles and air bubbles is the way to get this job done. Use the felt squeegee (included) and starting from the center position, use outward horizontal strokes in each direction to apply the top portion of the mural panel. This will expose the self-adhesive layer. You’ll then create a “tape hinge” that will keep the panel in place while allowing you to peel off the first several inches of the backing paper from the top. You’ll want to make sure this panel is straight and level… it it isn’t, the rest of the panels won’t be either. This is the most critical step in the process. Take a moment to match up the panels while on the floor to prepare you better for the overlap when installing the mural.Īs the video shows, the first step is to line up the first panel of the mural and affix it to the wall using 2″ wide masking tape at the top. Note: there is a 3/4″ overlap on the seams where each panel of your mural meets. While the mural is resting, you should measure it and the wall to ensure you’ve ordered the correct size.

We recommend taking your mural out of the shipping tube and allowing it to lay flat for several hours prior to installation. It’s one extra step in the process, but well worth it to ensure you’re 100% satisfied with the end result. If it was painted with a low-VOC/stain resistant paint, we recommend wiping it down with a solution of isopropyl alcohol & water per the instructions that come with your mural.

If the wall has been recently painted, make sure it has had at least 14 days to completely cure and gas out. Wipe it down with a damp cloth and let it fully dry. Prior to hanging your mural on the wall, make sure the wall is clean and dry. While this mural installation video will help with our self-adhesive materials, all of our murals ship with complete and easy-to-follow written instructions.
