Do you recommend getting the 12 x 24 mat when doing vinyl wall quote projects? Also, what kind of vinyl do you recommend? Is transfer tape necessary?

Using the larger mat is definitely easier if your project is atleast 12 x 12. I am not familiar with the differences in quality of vinyl that I have purchased in the past. I usually purchase what seems to be the best deal. And transfer tape will make your job soooo much easier than trying to peal it off the vinyl and apply yourself. Thanks

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.

Any pre-mixed paste is fine...the mural comes as a vinal coated wallpaper. Just be sure to sponge off with warm water any residue that is squeezed out between the sheets. Good luck!

I actually took the width measurement of the wall covering and then measured the height of my wall and multiplied the width of each strip and came up with the correct amount. I have wallpapered many times. But, I also would advise watching YouTube for instructions.

I would suggest a stronger vinyl. Look at your local print shop. I use 751 c or 651 Oracle . I use my Silhouette vinyl for projects for tiles, that stay in the house. You can also order the Oracle on line.. just type in Oracle vinyl online. Good Luck!!!

Yep, the came off my painted walls just fine. I would make sure to try to do it when you have some extra sets of hands around. Just pull it off slowly and evenly though, otherwise the vinyl will stretch.

I have moved it once 4' x 8'- no problems at all but it was only up for about a month on a lightly textured, painted wall. No damage and it was still very sticky. Definitely a two or more person job.

The clear sheet is used to make sure everything's aligned...there should be directions on how to properly apply the quote to your wall. However, I do agree that you should contact the seller and let them know your product is damaged because mine also did not come like that. I don't particularly even like this product seeing as it does not work very well and was falling off my wall within 24 hours of having it. Hope this helped!

You can apply vinyl directly to the board, or you can use an insert if you want to change it around. If you want to apply directly to the sign you might want to get the Signicade, and not deluxe, we are a vinyl shop and we cut a product called coragated plastic to size and apply vinyl directly to that :) The signicade is a very sturdy product!!!

I'd recommend a very heavy paperboard as a backer/backboard. Then use this as an attachment board to tape/attach your signage on. I've also used thin corrugated plastic and make signs out of that. Measure the thickness to know how thick the media can be.

Hi James. I would stay away from this product. Reason being the smallnibs on the bottom that is supposed to keep the mat from moving doesn't work. I have carpet where my PC is and as I pull my chair in and out the vinyl moves a little with it. After a few days I have to push the mat back in place.

Buy the software called bartender, then print yourself using the fba sku. Also, I would recommend using thermal transfer, not direct if you are using a 200dpi printer. Make sure the media you use is extra sticky. That means you will usually have to buy 50 to 100 rolls at a time, if not through me. I sell special labels myself that are vinyl or metallic based; super sticky! Most of the amazon ebay labels are cheap Chinese labels and will fall off at the warehouse, making your inventory "damaged/unfulfillable"

No need if the paste is at the right tackiness from my experience with wallpaper. But we ended up back-taping the murals and wrapping them around a frame we built, and then hung that so that we can take it down easy or move it if wanted. A great effect is also to paste them on separate panels and hang them independently, like a collage, preserving your walls. Good luck.

"Can" it be? Yes I suppose so. It is regular wallpaper strips. The thing is they come rolled so I don't imagine it would look very good once you have to line them up and make sure they stay together. I would suggest trying a smaller mural that didn't take up the whole wall if you really want to go that route. Of note, you can put it up and then just peel it off when you move. It really isn't that hard to get off the wall if you are willing to just take the time to do it.

Get heavy duty wall paper adhesive...the regular stuff is too runny for this heavy paper. Buy a cheaper throw away brush to apply the paste to the paper. The only other tools were something to cut the paper, a seam roller and a smoothing brush. The pattern repeats every 12 inches. It goes up easily. Wait at least 3 days to paint. Mine looks great and I would recommend this to anyone.

The current price is double what I paid about 2 months ago. Sorry, have not used the Con-Tact brand. This vinyl is thick, went up on a textured wall without much fuss, and with daily use is holding up well. No complaints. Chalk Series arrives as a kit in a 1 1/2" x 18" square cardboard box with a starter chalk kit -- perhaps the packaging is increasing cost.
