  • Peel and stick wallpaper cannot go over texture. There’s actually a scientific reason and it’s pretty basic as to the reason why. Watch this video to find out.

    If you buy the brick or stone patterned wallpaper like I do, these texture or "bumps" through the vinyl will only add onto it and make your wallpaper look that much more awesome and realistic.
    For normal non-brick/stone wallpaper, I use Elmer's glue along the edges. No bumps and it ain't ever coming off. But should I need to peel it off, it comes off with ease and no peeled paint.

    “Let’s point out issues #1…. UGLY.” That made me giggle. Thanks for making this! I have textured walls and people keep saying I can’t do peel & stick. I didn’t understand why until this video. Thanks!

    Hey what about putting foam core boards over my very spikey textured walls?. I was thinking to mail the foam boards over the textured walls then put the peel n stick wallpaper over that smooth surface.
    Have ever done that instead of having to skim coat? Any pitfalls to watch out for? Thank you!

    I’m going thru this now. I bought joint compound and rolled it on then took a scraper and spread it out to make the walls even. I’m not using peel and stick wallpaper. I saw someone recommended putting up a water diluted wallpaper paste over the walls before doing the wallpaper because when the joint compound dries it will soak up the wallpaper glue I use to hang the paper. Is that necessary in your opinion? Ready to be done with this job 🤪🤪

      You need to size the wall after skim coat: roman rx 35. Or Shieldz wallpaper prep

    • @spencercolgan
      @spencercolgan  Před 6 měsíci

      Hello Noreen…..
      You have not indicated if you removed the linoleum; it’s a little hard to believe that you have linoleum on your walls, however… If, in fact, you do, rip it off, and then no matter what your wall looks like, Apply GARDZ from Zinzer
      Then you are going to have to make the walls flat by applying joint compound in a process called Skimcoat… Apply as many layers as necessary to make it flat then reapply GARDZ and then you will be good

    What if you use a heat gun and a sponge? I’m thinking that you could make the wallpaper more malleable much like vinyl wrapping your car.

    I have a light orange peel texture on my wall....not the really bumpy texture as shown in your video. There is really nothing to "knock off" the wall. How about prepping? is there something to clean the walls with before hanging the peel and stick wallpaper? My wall is freshly painted.

      @spencercolgan  Před 2 lety

      It’s a great question but it’s also evidence that in your kind heart, you have never done that before.
      You cannot stand down something like that; theoretically of course you could but you would make a mess; what you doing this cases you fill in that surface by applying a coat of plaster once, let it dry and then do it again then let that dry and lightly sand it until it is smooth

      Heat gun may help sticking the wall paper but it won’t give a good flat look on those walls.
