Troubleshooting
Panel not adhering properly
Ensure the wall surface is completely clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Reapply a fresh layer of appropriate PVC adhesive, ensuring even coverage and adequate pressure during application. Check the adhesive's drying time and application temperature recommendations.
Cutting the panels results in a rough edge
Use a fine-toothed saw blade specifically designed for plastic or a very sharp utility knife. Make multiple shallow passes rather than one deep cut for a cleaner edge. Ensure the panel is securely supported during cutting.
Panel surface appears dull after cleaning
You may have used too much soap or an inappropriate cleaning agent. Rinse the panel thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Use only mild, soapy water for future cleaning.
