Step-by-step instruction
Pasting stereoscopically wallpaper does not require any special skills, but it will not be easy to "cope" with it alone. To obtain an ideal result, the canvases must be glued with special accuracy, the slightest deviation will spoil the whole picture.
- Before gluing stereoscopic wallpaper, you should prepare a flat surface of the walls or ceiling. For this, a standard plaster and primer procedure is carried out.
- Prepare canvases in the order of gluing. If a quick-drying adhesive is used, this will greatly simplify the work.
- Before you start gluing, you need to make a markup, namely, draw a vertical line on the wall. This will prevent the canvas from "overwhelming".
- The glue is applied only to the wall. Then the canvas is applied and smoothed from top to bottom.
It is worth not forgetting the importance of isolating the room from drafts.
