Surface Preparation and Hanging

Prepare the surface by filling panel joints with filler and reinforcing scrim tape. Then rub down with light sandpaper until smooth.

Roll on embedding adhesive in the width of a strip using a paint roller.

Cut the fabric in lengths using a sharp knife and straight edge. Measure to the height of the wall and add 4-5 inches.

Apply the wall canvas from the top. Snug it to the ceiling and press down. You can use a plastic spatula or putty knife with rounded corners to press the lengths into the adhesive.

Use a level to ensure that the first length hangs vertically. Then carefully match edge to edge. You can smooth out folds and air bubbles without disrupting the weave.

Cut the lower edge with a cutter on the trimming trowel.
