Preparing the surface

 

To successfully apply your wall adhesive, it is very important to prepare and clean the surface to be equipped. First of all, you should choose a smooth, non-porous surface to apply your adhesive vinyl. Secondly, greasy or dirty surfaces should be cleaned with soapy water. Adhesive coatings are 200 to 350 microns thick. This allows small imperfections in the substrate to be concealed. For some substrates, it is recommended to apply a primer to improve the adhesion of the decorative adhesive to curved and angular surfaces.

 

Place on a flat surface

 

First, we recommend that you cut the adhesive coating to shape, leaving an extra 5 cm border. Then position the decorative adhesive on the substrate to determine the direction of the pattern. Remove the liner from the adhesive vinyl step by step and squeegee the film. Do not hesitate to press down when you apply the adhesive so that the honeycomb structure sticks to the wall or furniture.

 

Laying on a curved or angled surface

 

Luminis Films adhesive paper has an elongation capacity of up to 220%. This makes it possible to heat up the decorative adhesive so that it can be shaped to the desired curve. To do this, you can thermoform the wallcovering using a hair dryer or heat gun. The decorative vinyl should be stretched slightly so that it stretches and conforms to the surface. Be careful not to heat too much to avoid burning the adhesive coating.
