In these places, the canvas will be pasted with an overlap so that they can be processed correctly. If you plan to paste a material 1.06 m wide, then 1 m will need to be set aside in all directions from the corner. Using a plumb line or a building level and a simple pencil, you will need to mark a vertical line at the height of the builder. With a tape measure, you will need to mark 1.06 m from the drawn line. In this way, you will need to draw all the walls. Next, the floor is covered with polyethylene film. You will need to roll out the roll of wallpaper on it with the front side down.

You will need to run your hand along the fold, and then cut it with a construction knife. In this case, you can also use a new stationery knife. In this way, wallpaper is prepared for the entire room. The sheets will need to be rolled into loose rolls so that the front side is on the inside. Thanks to the non-woven base, there should be no problems in this case. Next, you will need to dilute the adhesive mixture according to the instructions.

The roller will need to be immersed in a container with the solution, then run it along the mesh. Next, you need to spread glue on the wall to glue one sheet. The sheet should be glued starting from the top. You need to take the outer part of the sheet, then apply it to the wall.
