Installing your Peel & Stick contact paper:

BEFORE INSTALLATION:

Allow recently painted or primed surfaces to cure for 4 weeks prior to installing your contact paper.

To prepare your surfaces for contact paper, use a damp cloth or sponge and clean the surface with water. Allow of the walls to dry thoroughly before beginning install. 

PREPARE YOUR PANELS

Unroll your contact paper and cut on the dotted lines to separate multiple panels (if using) and layout the panels in numerical order to stay organized. Once your panels are laid out on the floor, check that all panels are free of damage/misprints and the coloring is correct from edge to edge.

If your print was split into multiple rolls, it is imperative to lay out your panels to determine if you are beginning with the correct roll. If needed, please reach out to hello@samanthasantana.com for assistance with this. 

APPLYING THE FIRST PANEL

Pick up your first panel labeled panel one. Slowly peel back about 18-24 inches of the backing. 

Grab the top corners and gently smooth out the contact paper on the surface. Use the smoothing tool and your hands to remove any bubbles. Repeat to cover your entire surface, matching the pattern when necessary.

FINAL STAGE 

Once you’ve applied all panels, use a sharp utility knife to trim any excess at the edges of the surface and any excess paper on the left and right edge of your installation area. 

Now you're done! Stand back and admire your beautiful work!
