Hi, I'm Tim Carter and I want to tell you about this revolutionary new wallpaper
0:18
This cool wallpaper is different because it's non-woven. What this means is that when the moist adhesive contacts the back of the paper, it doesn't expand
0:28
These new non-woven wallpapers are huge time savers. You know why? Because there's no need to prepaste a sheet of paper and book it while you work on another piece
0:39
Hey, guess what? Installing this wallpaper is really simple. Roller brush the special clear adhesive onto the wall and then place the dry paper directly
0:47
onto the pasted surface. Make sure you use regular tools to trim the paper so it's tight to the ceiling and to any woodwork
0:58
I prefer to use a traditional wallpaper brush like this so that the paper lays flat on the wall
1:03
I get the best results when I use a brush just like this with the short bristles
1:10
Okay I've got a little bit of a problem down here. This is an inside corner and so what I going to do is you want to push it in with your finger like that hold it in place and take your wide blade so that you can kind of hold that in place to find that corner And then
1:27
you can use the razor knife to go ahead and cut that corner out. Once that last piece
1:35
of paper is trimmed off, you must get all of the clear adhesive off the painted woodwork
1:40
If you don't do it, sometimes these adhesives can actually cause the paint
1:45
to bubble in a few months time. This new non-woven wallpaper is awesome
1:54
One of the things I like best about it is this. It's 100% strippable
2:00
What this means is that let's say this plumbing pipe has a leak in the future
2:04
I can actually pull the wallpaper off the wall. It will not ruin the wallpaper
2:09
The plumber can fix the pipe, repair the wall, and we can put the same exact
2:14
exact pieces of wallpaper up and they'll fit perfectly. Tell me that isn't the
2:20
wallpaper to use in your home. I'm Tim Carter for ask the builder.com
