Are the reviewers applying this to smoothie walls? I have textured walls and wondering if this would be impossible

I have lightly textured walls and had no problems with the stencil. The main thing is to dry dust the wall you are going to apply the stencil to for better adhesion.

I applied mine to smooth walls, application instructions say it should be applied to a clean,smooth and dry surface. May not work well on a heavy textured wall.

It is a wallpaper. A very porous surface will not provide a good adhesion between wall and paper. Texture if concrete will be transferred to texture of mural. A sealer, a couple of coats, would allow application but the surface texture will be apparent under close inspection.

I love this thing! I have it on a smooth wall but it sticks very well. I think it would work ok on a textured wall but I'm not sure it would look as nice. It comes in 3 pieces and has to be lined up just right, texture might make the edges show. Maybe you can put it on a door if the wall doesn't work out.

Textured walls are hard (if that is what you have). Just keep trying. It took a really long time to get this one stuck to my wall.

Our wall is textured and it came out great. My husband took his time with it and went really slowly when peeling the paper off it once it was affixed to te wall. It truly looks fantastic. We are very happy and would order again.

I could not get mine to stick to a painted lightly textured wall. So I don't think it would stick to a painted block wall. It would have to be very smooth.

I work in a school and have them in my classroom, they have held up very well on a painted wall, I'm not sure about a textured wall. They stick very well.I hope that this helped you out.

Yes, the walls in my Sons room are not completely smooth, they have that bumpy texture to them and no problems sticking. They have been up for about 15 months now, no problems.

Preston, if your plaster walls are in good shape I.E.- not cracking, then skim coating is an option. The only issue I see is that you mentioned that the texturing is only 1/2 way up the wall which means the skin coating will have to cover the textured area then go well into the smooth area to give a level appearance. Use 4-5 thin coats of plaster mud to get the best results. Alternately you might consider an upgrade to drywall but that's another story and probably best left to a contractor. Best of luck!

I'm not positive but I would think it wouldn't be a problem with "slight texture". The adhesive used seems pretty powerful.

Yes. I successfully added it to a Smoothie. It was good. I didn't try it with only water. It's a quality product I like it.

Not sure as my wall was not textured. This decal will take some time to put up but the finished product is soo cool!

It's kinda like a sticker that you smooth out with a plastic piece...similar to a credit card. I would go too bumpy because smoothing it on the wall could cause the bumps to poke through but it's fairly thick. I'd say try it unless the wall is really rough.

We use them on a textured plastic water Tank for a medical device. We follow the directions except we let it cure for 24 hours before placing any weight on it. The texture is slight. I am not sure how much your wall is textured. I would the product needs to be touching 50% of the surface that you are trying to adhere it to. Good luck!

Ideally you should apply several coats to get the desired smooth wall effect. This is tool is perfect for using over any surface, though in your case I would consider sanding the peaks out of the paint. THEN after cleaning the wall and letting it day and begin applying sheet-rock compound. Good luck!

I wouldn't think it would be able to be placed on a textured wall due to the way it has to be applied. It would likely scratch the decal and won't adhere to texture. It really depends if it's light textured or deep textured. You have to decide if you want to chance it.

My walls are completely smooth. I really don't think it will work on textured walls. Go over to Hobby Lobby. They have decals on sale right now for $6. Try it and see if it works before ordering this one.
