WALLHOGS Photo-Tex Application & Removal
Application
- Select an area large enough to display your Photo-Tex wall decal print. Your print must be at room temperature prior to installing. Remove the print from shipping container and unroll. Let stand at room temperature for 60-90 minutes. If area has recently been painted, paint must be allowed to cure 30 days prior to installing your wall graphic.
- Clean the area selected, using water only, to ensure no dirt or residue will adhere to the adhesive backing of your Photo-Tex print. DO NOT USE SOAP OR ANY HOUSEHOLD CLEANING PRODUCT. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean cloth and let stand for approximately 90 minutes to ensure the area is completely free from any moisture.
- Depending upon the size of your image, the following steps are best performed by two people.
- Once your application area is prepared simply peel the print from the white paper backing. If your image is taller than wider, begin at the top and peel toward the bottom. If wider than taller, peel from right to left.
- Once your print has been completely peeled from the backing each of the two installers should hold one of the top corners. Place the print to the area you have selected to display it and press the top corners to the wall. If the print sticks to itself, DO NOT PANIC, gently pull the two areas apart and re-apply.
- Beginning from the center of the image and using your hand, apply pressure and rub from the center to the outer edges to apply. If you encounter any air bubbles or wrinkles, simply lift the print from the closest corner and reapply. IF APPLYING THE PRINT OUTDOORS WE RECOMMEND YOU REMOVE AND REAPPLY THE PRINT EVERY 180 DAYS TO AVOID FADING OF THE SURFACE AREA TO THE IMAGE IS APPLIED TO.
- Roll and store white paper backing in the shipping tube for future use in the event you decide to remove and store your Photo-Tex print.
Removal
- Simply peel the print, SLOWLY, from the surface and reapply to another area or place it onto paper backing for storage. DO NOT remove from an application surface unless the temperature is above 60 degrees as the image may tear.
- When removing your Wallhogs always peel back the initial 4″-6″ then fold back onto itself, place your fingers gingerly on the adhesive and pull to remove. This will reduce stress or stretching of the material.
Tips & Tricks
- Air bubbles can be removed by taking a soft, dry cloth and pushing the air bubble toward the nearest edge.
- If used outside and the temperature is below 60 degrees F, do not attempt to remove your decal.
- Always store your Photo-Tex print in a temperature-controlled environment.
