Hi John.

Got a couple of questions for you if that's ok. First I am hanging commercial fabric wallcovering, do you paste the paper first or paste the wall and what's the best paste to use and should I prime the new sheetrock first? Second when going around corners or especially under the top of a window the fabric doesn't stick right and lifts off on the edge I am going under. Got any tricks for this or should I use seam glue?

Any help would be great.
Thanks Andy

Hey Andy,

To answer your questions. On commercial wallcovering
you will paste the paper not the wall. I like to use a good
heavy vinyl paste. Professional 880 heavy duty clear.
Always prime first. I use sheildz made by Zinser. It is for
under wallcovering. Tough to stick areas,especially corners
I use professional vinyl over vinyl adhesive. It is thicker than
seam glue. Most of these products I purchase at M.A.B

Hope all this helps,
Good luck
