Preparation
Recommended Surfaces
Designed to Stick to:
• Primed and Painted Drywall
• Painted Steel
• Glass
• Finished Wood
• Existing Whiteboards or Chalkboards
Not recommended for unprimed drywall,
cinder block, brick, wallpaper, heavily
textured or delicate surfaces. Use on
horizontal surfaces, such as desks or
tables, increases the likelihood of
product damage. Extra care must be
taken to avoid scratching the film surface.

Gently remove all blue tape. Unroll on a
flat, clean work surface
1
Surfaces to be covered must be clean,
smooth, dry and structurally sound.
Thoroughly clean wall surface with a
damp cloth. Let surface dry for 10
minutes before moving onto installation.
Using clean hands, hold onto the white
film while removing 12” (30,4 cm) of
the textured liner from the top edge.
Note: DO NOT REMOVE THE ENTIRE
LINER AT THIS POINT.

Avoid Film Damage
6
Continue to install by removing 12” (30,4 cm) of liner at a
time. Push firmly against the film moving any bubbles out to
the left and right edges. Repeat peeling 12” (30,4 cm) of line
and smooth out film from middle to edge until it is
completely secured to the wall.

With the help of a friend, hold top edge
tightly and align top edge to desired spot.
Press top of film to wall with cloth
provided. If applying to an existing
whiteboard or chalkboard, use frame
to align tip (only align the top).
5
Recheck alignment and adjust if
necessary. Use the cloth to press film to
the wall. Always start by pressing from
the middle and smoothing the film out to
the edges.
Do not to fold or bend the film.
This may cause permanent
creasing or damage to the film.
Addressing Bubbles
Slowly peel film away from the side closest to the bubble,
peeling past the entire bubble. Re-apply this section by using
the cloth to rub up and down vertically while working towards
the edge of the film. While pressing down on the top edge of
the surface, continue to remove the liner 12” (30,4 cm) at a
time and repeat the smoothing motion in step 4 until the
product is completely secured to the wall without air bubbles.
If applying to an existing
whiteboard or chalkboard,
use the existing frame as a
guide to trim excess film
with a utility knife.
