PJ STEPS TO SUCCESS

#### **1. Be Neat and Gentle**

Avoid rushing the process. Overworking the material can lead to visible seams and damage. Handle each strip with care, respecting the integrity of the fabric or paper.

#### **2. Skip the Squeegee**

A squeegee may seem like a quick fix, but it’s too harsh for delicate wallcoverings. Instead, use a **soft brush** and work **with the grain** of the material to smooth it out.

#### **3. Seam Roller Caution**

Seam rollers can help, but apply light pressure. Heavy rolling can distort patterns or leave marks on vibrant surfaces.

#### **4. The Colored Pencil Trick**

For seams that need a little camouflage, a colored pencil matching the wallcovering can work wonders. Lightly shade the seam for a subtle blend.

#### **5. Overworked Material? Here’s the Solution**

If you’ve gone too far and the material looks stressed, stop immediately. Sometimes less is more—don’t try to “fix” it aggressively.

#### **6. Hang Three Strips and Pause**

To maintain consistency and avoid fatigue, hang three strips at a time, then step back. This break helps you spot issues early and keep the finish flawless.
