Some backscene fixing tips from a happy customer:
Requirements:
- Ready Mixed Solvite - Super High Performance - Wallcoverings Adhesive (available from most good DIY stores)
- Wallpaper pasting brush
- Wallpaper pasting table or smooth flat surface (for pasting on.)
- Damp cloth
- Long scissors
- Spirit level
- Ruler/tape measure
- Pencil
A little preparation can avoid a lot of problems later
1. Ensure you are fully conversant with these instructions.
2. Ensure you have adequate access to the area where the back scene is to be applied.
3. Ensure you have adequate light.
4. Ensure the area where the back scene is to be applied is smooth.
5.Ensure the area for back scene to be applied to be suitably primed - wallpaper past or PVA glue.
6. Apply the primer to the area and allow drying thoroughly.
7. Layout the back scenes and ensure they are in the correct order.
8. Where required, trim the back scene to size before pasting.
9. Ensure the pasting table/area is clean before laying the back scene on it.
10. Lay the back scene picture down and apply paste.
11. Allow the paste to 'soak' into the paper for approx. 10 minutes.
12. Take care when moving the paper to the area where it is to be fixed as the paper will become pliable.
13. Line the paper to the area where the back scene is to be applied and apply to the area using a near dry cloth to remove any air pockets - do not use a very damp cloth or rub to much as this may effect the picture. (A vertical pencil line formed with a spirit level is a very useful aid to work to).
14. Continue the process of pasting and applying the scenes - the paste will allow the paper to be moved around a little to ensure you have exact alignment of the pictures.
15. You may have a few bubbles or small air pockets; these should disappear over a 24 hour period as the paste dries - this will be dependant upon the humidity of the room.
