How do I cut the panels?
Use a fine-tooth saw to cut the panels. Measure carefully and mark your cuts before sawing.
What type of paint should I use?
Use a primer suitable for HDF, followed by interior paint of your choice. Acrylic or latex paints are ideal.
How long does the adhesive take to dry?
Refer to the adhesive instructions for drying times. Typically, it takes about 24-48 hours for full adhesion.
Can I remove the panels once they are installed?

Troubleshooting
Panels are not adhering properly.
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Double-check the adhesive application and consider using additional adhesive for uneven surfaces.
Gaps are visible between the panels.
Accurately measure and cut the panels. Use a small amount of caulk to fill any minor gaps and create a seamless finish.
