How to Hang Murals

These instructions are intended for mural application in normal conditions, using the adhesive provided with your mural, and in a working temperature of 65 to 75 degrees F. The adhesive provided with your mural should be a water-based paste which is suitable for most walls and doors, but will not adhere to steel, concrete or glass.A) The wall or door must be clean, dry, primed and sealed prior to installation. DO NOT HANG ON A GLOSS FINISHED DOOR OR WALL.B) Materials- CONTAINER-to mix glue ROLLER- to spread the glue SCISSORS and KNIFE-to trim the edges, if necessary WALLPAPER BRUSH.C) Adhesive should be mixed as follows:# of Panels Size Amount of Water 8 panel 12' 8-3/4" x 9' 2.25 quarts 4 panel 6' 4" x 9' 1.25 quarts 4 panel (panoramic) 12' 8 3/4 " x 4" 6" 1.25 quarts 2 panel 33" x 86" 1 pintSlowly pour the adhesive into warm water, stirring constantly, and allow to thicken for 20 minutes before use. Then fir the design to your wall or door. The gross dimensions of the murals are listed above in the unglued state. These dimensions may increase slightly once the adhesive has been applied and will retain these dimensions once it has dried.D) To ensure the design is centered, make a guide line by drawing a horizontal line equidistant from floor and ceiling across the wall or door.E) Apply adhesive to the back of section 1 (bottom left-hand piece) of the mural. Avoid getting any paste on the face of the mural. If you get glue on the face of the mural, wipe gently with a wet sponge before the glue dries.
