Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the adhesive, add the flakes to clean water according to the ratio provided on the product packaging, stirring vigorously until smooth. Allow the mixture to stand for the suggested duration before application to achieve the ideal consistency.
Surface Compatibility
Ensure all walls are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint. If the wall is porous, a dilute coat of adhesive or a suitable primer should be applied first to prevent uneven absorption.
Maintenance
Store the dry flakes in a cool, dry place and ensure the packaging is resealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture contamination. Once mixed, the adhesive should be used within its shelf-life window as specified by the manufacturer.
