Would I be able to place this on a cinder block wall in a school hallway? The walls are painted so semi-smooth, but not smooth like wallboard.

I'm using mine on an old bulletin board which has an uneven surface and it works well though doesn't lay smooth because of some of the chewed up part of the bulletin board. But it still works to write/erase/write.

I haven't had a problem with this sticking to anything. however, if it is a rough surface, you may not have an easy time writing on it with chalk. You'll have all kinds of bumpy lines.

Yes you could but it probably won't look as smooth as a flat, even wall. But it's doable.

The wall on which it stick is painted with eggshell finish. It stick perfectly. In fact my four year old toddler son tried to peel it off from the wall, but without luck. You may need to make sure not to leave any bubbles when you stick to the wall. It is similar to adding a screen protector for iPhone.Hope this helps!

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.

I would not count on it for cinder block. It was fine for a table/counter but I don't think it will be good for cinder block. Use chalkboard paint instead.

Ahhh, not sure. It was VERY hard to put up. you really need only the old fashioned, roll on paste, nothing fast drying. Your wall under needs to be PERFECT. I have not yet painted it but I must say, there was tons of paste overrun and messes over the "naked" paper and it washed up wonderfully with just water. It looks stained when wet, but then drys white. I imagine painted, especially with a latex of sorts or semi, normally used in bathrooms it would be just fine. Also, the repeat pattern in huge, like three or four feet so buy tons extra.

I suppose you could, but it's not a permanent sticker, so it can be re-positioned or taken down & hung up elsewhere if need be. If you're putting it up on a corkboard or something, then I could see using it with tacks instead. But if you're just putting it up on a standard wall surface, I wouldn't bother with the tacks. Hope that helps! :-)

Yes. My wall wasn't completely smooth. But if you are putting it on a popcorn wall, it will be difficult to smooth down the sticker

I think you would run into trouble. We get many compliments on our wall, so i would suggest a smooth wall

Hi Veronica, yes you can. I used the wall mural for our school play, Once Upon a Mattress and we put it on Luan which is a very thin wood paneling sheet. While we did begin using the paste mixture that came with each box. We found it did not mix very well in the water and was actually very glubby (if that's a word). We began using wall paper paste that we got at Home Depot and that worked much better. I hope this helps.

Sorry, Nancy. That's a question for a handyman. Mine is in the wall in my family room, which is not brick.

My wall is smooth. I would NOT recommend it. The orthodontist office that my daughter goes to has a similar product, on a textured wall, and they have problems with it sticking to the surface. If you use it on a textured surface, it will show all of the bumps, creases, etc. Look at it this way...this product is essentially a "sticker". So if you don't mind creases, bumps, wrinkles, etc. go for it. But if you want a smooth look, don't use it on textured walls.

I used mine in our playroom that has very flat smooth walls. I was able to put up without any issues. Sorry you're having trouble!

11 month ago, I put it on my daughter's room and her wall is not completed smooth, and still looking like new. It may work for your daughter's classroom.

I would suggest putting it to the side if you are using a granite or other stone like material. You might be able to with formica but it will be very close to the wall.

I think you could! Depending on the kind of paint, you might need to sand the exterior walls a little. I "wallpapered" the inside using scrapbook paper and Mod Podge, but those walls aren't painted.

I cut it up and made labels for glass canisters. It seamed very sticky but I was able to remove it when I messed up if I was really careful. I would say it would depend on the type of textured wall. If you are talking about smooth bumps, yes I believe it would stick but you may need to reinforce the sides.

If it will even stick it would look like garbage. It's supposed to cover rough walls well and I'm sure it covers better than normal wallpaper but only minor imperfections. I used it to cover some rough plaster. The plaster wasn't to bad and we covered up the most uneven spots with joint compound. When it was all said and done I wish I would have spent a little more time smoothing out the JC. If you look close you can see the uneven texture through the wallpaper. So over brick it will look really bad. However with all that said I love this product and am really happy we used it. We have gotten a lot of good comments on it.

It would be fine either way. You can mount it on drywall or on exposed, unfinished walls. If you don't have finished walls, you might want to consider a large pegboard instead. It would fill up some wall space and may be nicer in the long run.
