This stuff continues to solve the problems we have when renovating our newly bought 1930's home that doesn't have a single see through (plaster) wall! It's worth its weight in gold! Have already used it in several applications and can foresee more in the near future. I'm glad I bought a few rolls! do yourself a favor Make life easier for yourself. Photo: *Finishing the wallpaper on a plaster wall. The edge is uneven and being plaster it is wider/thicker than a normal hard plastic backing will fit therefore no sealing is required. Also, this is a wet bathroom so the wallpaper would certainly have come off if we hadn't trimmed it. The wallpaper and surfaces have withstood the moisture/steam from the shower perfectly so far! *Before and after photos of the cabinets cracking trying to remove the ugly 70's "wood" paneling left on the wall by the previous owner. when they installed "new" cabinets on it sometime in 1980 (our best guess). Our new old home has many built-in elements and rounded cuts (curved doorways, rounded windows on built-in sideboards, an octagonal portico window overlooking the front porch, arched bay windows, etc.) and this material is just a godsend for it. kind of thing! I'm so glad I found it as everything looks tidier and "done" with trim and the normal stuff just didn't work! We broke enough to buy 10 more rolls of this stuff! So save yourself the headache and do it first! PRO TIPS: If you can't get it right/straight/flat (it shrinks and dents when cold), heat it with a hair dryer, then shape it with your fingers until it's flat and straight, heat again , shape etc. Heat makes it a lot more flexible so you can bend it back into a corner or around and around an edge and it softens the glue so it sticks better. Take your time with this as it won't stick as well if you have to pull it out to straighten it. We tore off the paper, stepping back at the top, sticking it where it needed to be, then peeling it back a few inches at a time while the other stood with their back to "eye" it to straighten it move. Heat it up and make it straight and flat. Also, heat will cause it to stretch a bit if you're cut a little short or run out of material (I ended up 3 inches over a piece). Just heat and gently flatten/press down/up with your fingers and it will stretch. (Otherwise, heat it up and press it straight against the wall if you don't want to stretch. It's easy to cut with scissors or a utility knife). If you need to peel an area to smooth it out or whatever and it's not sticking well (we had to peel a section about 6 inches to put glue on the corner of the wallpaper which bubbled and stuck well but slowly peeled off every few days) we used E3000 glue and now it holds perfectly even in a wet bath. It has a rubbery but rough sandpaper texture that picks up dirt and oil stains and keeps them off your hands. So I painted it with a combination of white semi-gloss latex primer and paint and now it's holding up great even after rubbing it a few times (it's right in the corner where dirty hands just grab it).
