    Looks really great!!! You should add some caulking around your sink, so no water gets under there and causes any lifting of the contact paper 😉

    Suggestion: Caulk around the seams (i.e. Cuts and gaps) to avoid moisture seeping underneath the contact paper. Try getting the caulk that matches the color of the contact paper or use silicone instead.

    The look amazing! Question. Have you tried to remove a section to see how easy/hard it is? Can you do a video where you remove a small section of the paper? I’m really open to trying this, but I’m a little hesitant since I don’t know the removal process.

    • @mrsfrazier4268
      @mrsfrazier4268 Před 3 lety

      Just peel to undo folding and lift ..think of it as a big sticker. I don't suggest applying wall paper on a surface that's peeling or cracked because it might lift off when removing the wall paper. Other than that ur hood to go!

    Ok, I watched part 1 & 2. Absolute pride of your talent, patience and conviction. A 100 gold ⭐✨⭐.
    I agree on the hairdryer would have made part 1 a lot easier. 3 questions: it's been 2 months per the time stamp, and how is all your hard work and $ spent, time investment holding up to the rigorous day-to-day of life; cooking, dishes? Q2: have or are you going to do the cabinets? Q3: Wayana I believe has done several renter friendly videos, had you watched her?

      Its more likely to lift and harder to clean regularly if u overlap, you'll want it to be one layer all over for the best results
