Review on 🧱 Akea Flat Faux Brick Stone Wallpaper Roll, 3D Effect Blocks, Vintage Home Decoration, Multi Countryside Rustic Red by Brad Lovro

make yourself comfortable. I want to start by saying that not only did I have no idea what I was doing, I was horrified at this job. My wife is on a business trip so I figured I had at least 48 hours to fix the mess I had caused. So I watched 2 or 3 how-to videos on YouTube in the morning and started at 1:30pm (same day). Tools I ended up using: - Roman Pro 543 glue - 2.5 rolls of wallpaper. Yes, I missed that with the 6 (yes, six) rolls I bought. Masking tape and plastic (for floor and ceiling) Finishing brush (looks like a paintbrush with long, smooth bristles) for applying paste Edge painting tool (long, flat, straight edge of metal) longer than 21 inches for cutting wallpaper - Sharp Exacto (Blade change every 3 squeegee brush combo for one time smooth wallpaper on wall (available on Amazon) - Plum Bob (hang from ceiling to mark a straight vertical line 19 inches from side wall) the piece will be a perfect Square painter's block to pour the glue into a seaming tool (looks like a plastic wheel) used to roll along the edges of the wallpaper - a bowl of water and a sponge to wipe away excess paste Working - camouflaged baseboards and floors (with tape and plastic) and ceiling (only tape).. We measured the height of the wall and laid out 4 pieces of paper on the floor according to the corresponding template. I have 2 Rows of bricks are left at the top and bottom of each piece of paper. I applied the paste to the wall and lined up the right edge with the plumb line as my wallpaper runs left to right. Once it was on my pencil line I squeezed out any air bubbles (sp?) and cut off the left side, top and bottom by running a sharp knife along the straight metal edge. This first part was the part I spent the most time on. Not that it's hard, just too many variables (how much glue?, should I wet the paper first? thinner parts dry quickly, how long does it take me to reapply the paste with a brush?). Once I was done with that and focused, everything went smoothly. Then I applied the paste to the next piece and hung the next piece by pressing it against the edge of the first piece. Using my metal ruler and a precise edge, trim off the top and bottom and move on to the next piece. When that was done, I wiped all of the paste off the previous lane with a damp sponge and dried it with a paper towel. I continued this method until I had a piece left on the bottom, then I cut 3 more, laid them out correctly and went back to gluing, hanging, cutting and rubbing. If you come across category 5 sockets and sockets, unscrew the panels and carefully cut the sockets after turning off. Metal chord +120v (and 15 amps) doesn't inspire confidence in an already daunting task, so take 4 seconds and flick the switch. When you get to the end, cut off the top, bottom and right sides just like you did with the first piece. Thinking about work now, I can say that once the work was properly organized (after the half-awful first part when my wall wasn't quite square), it was actually a lot less stressful. In addition, the key moves quickly. At first I was so worried about getting the edge perfectly glued that I moved slowly and had to reapply the glue. Then when tearing off the paper is oversaturated in some places and I have to carefully remove them with a seam tool. On my 3rd piece from the end I naturally picked up speed and they went up very smoothly and quickly. In addition, when using an edge bead, a slight overlap is still acceptable. It dries great, nothing flakes off. Having no other experience with wallpaper, I have to say that this paper is very forgiving. It's thick so it held its shape when I crammed it with noodles. Also, the creases I got from the aggressive squeegee compared to paper impregnated with super wet paste aren't even visible due to the visual texture of the bricks (no real brick texture, just a rough matte finish). Took me about 3 hours. I am delighted with this product and will order from this brand again. Wall 103 inches high x 180 inches long - I used 2.5 rolls. Count and order extra (costs $20-40 not to do the job if you didn't buy enough and now have another batch of dyes). Have fun. It's not that bad.
