Soak prepasted. Tip upside down and apply border glue (bottle with applicator top). Apply to wall and rub paper towel or dry cloth on border to make it stick while someone is handing it to you. Go along that strip again and rub/push so it sticks well without air bubbles or creases. Go to next strip, overlap at least 1/4" to 1/2" so you do not have a gap between strips after it dries.<br><b>References : </b><br> Have a 2nd person to at least hold the strips while you are applying them to wall.

I then get a paint brush dampen it with water then dip in adhesive and then liberally coat the entire surface of the border..... when you run out of room you book or fold the border (backside to backside) and continue spreading the glue until it is all glued and the border has been folded enough where it is maybe 2 feet long............. then with someones help you get a ladder and start in a corner and push the top against the ceiling or crown molding....the other person holds the excess why you put it up....be sure to have a sponge to clear the air bubbles out and clean away the glue......... you just work your way around the room.... also when starting in the corner allow some excess so when you end it in the same corner you can cut it straight and not have any gaps............ just take it slow....its not hard at all...........GL.....<br><b>References : </b><br> let me try to give you some simple tips………
it probably is prepasted so this is what I normally do when I hang…….
roll the as much of the border out on your kitchen counter or some other long surface with the back side facing upwards……
buy some border adhesive or vinyl to vinyl adhesive(which will make it hold a lot better than just running it through water)…..
I then get a paint brush dampen it with water then dip in adhesive and then liberally coat the entire surface of the border…..
when you run out of room you book or fold the border (backside to backside) and continue spreading the glue until it is all glued and the border has been folded enough where it is maybe 2 feet long………….
then with someones help you get a ladder and start in a corner and push the top against the ceiling or crown molding….the other person holds the excess why you put it up….be sure to have a sponge to clear the air bubbles out and clean away the glue………
you just work your way around the room….
also when starting in the corner allow some excess so when you end it in the same corner you can cut it straight and not have any gaps…………
just take it slow….its not hard at all………..GL…..

What I have done is paint the ceiling color onto the wall about 4" from the ceiling. Then my husband and I strike a chalk line where we want the top of the border to be. You have to make sure not to use a permanent chalk, but this has helped us have a very straight border without accenting how uneven our ceilings are.<br><b>References : </b><br> If your house is anything like mine, it is almost impossible to follow the ceiling and have a border look right.

If you have prepasted ones, they require wetting, waiting and smoothing out onto the wall. You might have a border that needs paste. Using premixed wallpaper paste would be the easiest. Brush it onto the border, wait a bit and smooth it onto the wall. Borders can be placed flush with the ceiling or down any number of inches that you desire. Especially if you have high ceilings, a lower border looks nicer. If the borders have straight edges, especially if they have straight lines along them, getting them on level is important. Use a level to accomplish this. You can draw a chalk line around the room, or use a masking tape line as your guide. Borders can also be placed at chair-rail height. This is especially nice in a child's room, because it is at their sight-line....again, getting it on level makes it look professional. Good luck....at least you can't spill it on the carpet!<br><b>References : </b><br> There are different kinds of borders.
