General Instructions

The wallcovering should be applied in sequence from one production lot. First make a strip placement plan. Where several rolls are to be applied, start with the highest roll number. Cut the strips at wall height plus 4 cm; this is to allow for trimming at ceiling and the skirting levels. Number the strips. Only use black graphite pencil for the purpose. Follow the directional hanging instructions and other instructions supplied in the roll. Place the plumb line (black graphite pencil) in such a manner that the material comes 2 cm through the corner that you have started with. Apply adhesive to the substrate using a short-haired synthetic roller with a track breadth of ± 20 cm.

Place strip no. 1 on the wet adhesive against the plumb line so that the material overruns a few centimeters near the ceiling , skirting board and corner. To apply the wallcovering, run the spatula firmly along the wall in the longitudinal directional of the strip, this will expel trapped air from beneath the wallcovering. This method is recommended when wrapping the wallcovering round an internal angle.
For an external corner, the material should be wrapped round the angle for at least 30 cm.
Surface temperature should be in between 18°C to 23°C.

After applying adhesive to the base surface of the second strip, fold back the edge of the first strip ± 10 cm near the joint and apply an extra dilute layer of adhesive. Stick the second strip on the 1st strip with dry overlapping to the extent of ± 6 cm and smooth down using spatula. With a snap off blade knife, make a vertical incision of + 4 cm through the two overlapping strips near the ceiling. Place the base of the cutting device on the wall behind the two strips and cut through them in the vertical direction. Ensure that the overlapping strip is held taut. After cutting, remove the bottom strip. Close the joint and flatten the area created using the spatula. After placing three to four drops, cut off the excess at the ceiling and the plinth using a spatula and snap off blade knife. Immediately remove excess lime residues using clean water, and dry-off the area.
