Use this clear coat sealant to cover the area where the mural will be applied to the wall surface. However, we highly recommend preparing the surface in advance using a primer/sealer product like Zinsser® Gardz® by Rust-Oleum®, which can be found at most hardware stores. Proper cleaning and dry time of the wall surface with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (70%) and water (30%) MAY significantly improve the adhesion. Washable, durable, low-VOC and No-VOC paints may contain additives which can inhibit proper mural adhesion. Modern Paint Formulations: Some modern wall paints can make self-adhesive (peel and stick) murals more challenging to install. If you believe your wall surface may be a problem, please consider our pasted products, UltraStik™ (pre-pasted) and ProStik™ (requires paste), for a more universally compatible installation or take the necessary steps to properly prepare your wall surface as described in detail below. If you're unsure, we recommend ordering swatches of our materials to test adhesion prior to installation. There are endless combinations of wall paint and wall textures out there and we can’t test all of them. While we do offer materials compatible with varying wall surface types, some paints may inhibit adhesion of peel-and-stick products, and some wall textures may not provide enough surface area to stick a combination of those two make it even trickier. Our products are designed to work on ideally prepared surfaces, preferably smooth walls with a high-quality paint and primer. We strive to help you choose the right material for your wall mural project.
