Good tools:

• Knife with break-off blade. Don’t skimp on the blades, break them often so that the knife is always sharp.
• Roller or paint brush to apply paste to the wallpaper/wall
• Wallpaper brush to smooth out the wallpaper on the wall
• Use a plumb bob, to make sure the wave is hanging straight
• Steel ruler or trowel to cut cleanly.
• A sturdy ladder to work comfortably.
• Scissors for cutting cut around sockets etc.
• Wallpaper board
• Floor paper
• Screwdriver to remove wall socket and switch. Remember to cut the power!
• Good task lighting.

Workflow:

• Cut away the edge on one side of the wallpaper, to get a nice overlap.
• Apply adhesive to the back of the wad.
• Fold it up and let it swell for a few minutes before hanging it up. Be extra careful that the first wave hangs straight, there is little room for correction afterwards.
• When the wave is up, smooth out with the wallpaper brush and cut off at the lining and cornice. (Here it is important that the knife is really sharp to get nice finishes, if you have the opportunity to remove lining and moldings before, it clearly gives the finest result).
• Any blisters you can’t remove with the wallpaper brush will usually disappear on their own once the wallpaper has dried.

• Because Nästgårds is printed with water-soluble adhesive ink, be careful to avoid getting water and glue stains on the front.

Tips! Plumb often so that you can always check that the waves are hanging straight.
