I had the privilege of seeing a master (ProWallGuy) at work hanging a huge Digital Mural in a Casino a while back. SEE IMAGE HERE :eek:

I was wondering how many other people here are involved in this type of work. The complexity of hanging the sheets and getting them printed off in the first place is an amazing task.

I have never done it. Have seen it done, looks like something that you would want lots of practice before going it alone.

But lets not forget the el-cheapo $69 internet bought mural. Probably harder to hang than any other mural. They truly suck.

we've done one of the cheapo murals. We didn't have any problems, thanks to some advice from the folks at the NGPP.

I've done a lot of murals including digital, painted canvas, $69 internet specials and even mall-walls( the printed vinyl graffics used in the malls). But have gotten away from this kind of work in the last couple of years.

I think that was the one, If i remember correctly we pasted the wall, misted the back of the mural on a table, then applyed it to the wall. Does that sound right? (it been a few years now)

My choice of adhesive depends on the wallcovering.

Is the paper you have a grasscloth? Or is it thicker/heavier than that? Do you know the manufacturer or name of product?

We got it from a designer. the company went out of business no info on adhesives. It really looks and feels like a carpet just not so heavy. It is not a crasscloth it is like woven fibers. I think Roman Heavy Duty Clear will do. But do you now any tricks on cutting????
