Customer Reviews - Wall26 - A Bed of Clouds Beneath a Crescent Moon- Wall Mural, Removable Sticker, Home Decor - 100x144 inches - (Cont'd)

The 2' wide sections are easy to manage and line up with a 1/2" overlap. The print adheres to the wall very good if enough pressure is applied when mounting. The company should supply a cheap squeegee and instructions which were not included. Experience installing window tint and sign graphics is recommended.

In the 80's I put up a wall mural (wall paper) and it was really hard and at the time I thought. Never again... This one was nothing compared to my 80s experiment. I had no problem with this mural (Moon, clouds and ocean). Once I figured out a strategy the pieces went up one after another. As another person mentioned. Match the print, not the seam. There is about an inch overlay to play with - trust me, this is by design and makes it far easier to line everything up. My last experience did not do this and it was near impossible to line up.
The second thing you need to do is understand how to apply it. While I am sure there are many techniques. My worked well if you plan to do this alone. First, determine the top of the panel. I laid my panels print down across my queen bed so the bottom and top of the panels fell to the floor. On my panels -- face or print down, the top panel was the left most panel. Identify the wall you wish to start from and flip the panels print side up if you are starting from the right wall. In my case I started from the left. Laying the panels on my bed also helped relieve the rolled tension in the panels. They sat for 20 minutes before I started. Then figure out where the top of the panel is (they should all be the same). Then peel the backing off the panel about one foot all the way across. The backing will begin to roll back up but the print will not. then lift the panel off the bed from the top, orient the panel sticky side toward the wall and use a step stool to position. If you have someone to help you with the first panel it will go smoother but the thing to remember is that most walls in your home are not perfectly square (90 degrees) with the connecting wall. If you expect the panel to fit perfectly down the corner of a wall you will be disappointed. It's not the panel, it's your wall.
So hang the panel at the top and let gravity tell you where the panel is at the bottom. You can either re position the panel for a "best fit" or you can cut it so the panel lines up to your corner (I would not recommend this as it may cause problems hanging the other panels because gravity wont be your friend). After you are satisfied with how it's hanging. Use a dry wash cloth to firmly seal the foot or so of the adhesive you peeled off before you hung it. At this point you can pull the backing paper off with ease. I usual pulled about a foot off at a time. Ensure it lined up with the adjacent print and firmly sealed it by rubbing it with a dry wash cloth. I also kept control of the backing paper by rolling it up in the natural direction it wanted to roll. Once you get the hang of it -- the rest of the panels will go up -- maybe 10 minutes a panel. Just make sure your print is lining up with the adjacent panel before sticking too much of it to the wall. Once you get to the bottom -- use a straight edge to firmly seat the adhesive to the top of the baseboard all the way across. Then use a sharp knife (exacto knife if you have one works great) and then remove the excess from the base. If you are a little off - I would caution you from pulling it off the wall and re hanging the panel. You can do this as I did on my very last panel (I got sloppy) -- but you will likely stretch the panel and when you go to re hang it - it can screw up more than it originally was and you will have a hard time avoiding bubbles. If you do get bubbles you can not get rid of -- take a needle or a sharp exactor knife, poke into the bubble and flatten the panel with your dry wash cloth. This will remove the air. It took me about 2 and a half hours to put up all the panels by myself. I had a couple mistakes but you would not notice if I did not point them out. Luckily the problem happened to be behind a flat screen TV I eventually hung on the wall.
Lastly, I was a little worried this might peel the paint off the wall before hanging it -- but after hanging it I don't think this will be an issue. Just the other day I tried to peel a corner after they have hung for a month and it released no problem and stuck back to the wall no problem. I will post some pics in a couple of days.

I was unable to get it up without wrinkles. It came in 6 pieces and was a major pain to put up. Despite that, it looks dope. Luckily the design I chose has wrinkles in the actual image so the real wrinkles aren't as visible.

Pretty disappointed. The mural is not bright as in the picture; it's very dull. I kept it up for 3 months then tore it down and and replaced it with a lovely beach scene. On the positive side, it stuck to the wall very well.

it's good, sticks to the wall, looks ok, would have been good to know that the panels are meant to overlap in order to get the full image. Would have saved a lot of time to know that.

I got this for my daughters birthday and she loved it. It was a little challenging to put up. I wish it would have come with some sort of instructions, or tips for the best way to go about it. I only had the help of my teenage son (so I was basically doing it by myself), and I was rushing to get it done before she got home. But I must say, even with all the litte mistakes I made, it still looks awesome. It probably would have been better if I had taken the time to mark out lines. Also, I will say this, if after you put a sheet down you are tempted to peel it up and redo it because it doesn't line up perfectly, it is possible to do this but I don't recommend it as you will get way more bubbles and wrinkles. But these are not too noticeable if you take the time to smooth them out as much as possible. In order to get it to take up the whole wall near my daughters bed, I had to cut out the corner for the window, which I think turned out pretty good as well. All in all I'm very happy with it. I would definitely order another one in the future.

Ordered as a gift for my son's birthday. He was very satisfied and enjoys it in his wall daily!

Absolutely love it!!! Great quality and seamless! I bought it for my daughter's room. Everyone thinks it's a painting. Exactly what i wanted to display. Beautiful mural!!

So easy to install. This mural was installed on the ceiling in my media room and it looks stunning. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Your best having two people do this. We'd peel about 6 to 10 inches at a time and it went very smooth. Then we decided to put it around corner! Difficult but I think it turned out great.
