INSTRUCTIONS:
First, purchase:
- 5x1 sealant at Comex (or make your own paste)
- a wide brush
- gloves
Then…
-
Dilute the sealant with water - 5 parts water to 1 part sealant (hence the name 5x1). Cut the tapestry along the cutting line, and apply the sealant on the back of the tapestry (the side without print) with a brush.
-
Apply the prepared sealant to the wall where you are going to place the tapestry using a brush.
-
Place the tapestry. If you already have a piece above or next to it, slightly overlap the piece you are applying at the white edges.
-
Apply the sealant on top of the applied tapestry.
AND REPEAT!
