Can I use it on wallpapers to make it waterproof?

I used it on backsplash around a sink. I used it to shine and protect baseboards, both look good. I never tried wallpaper but you could try a piece and see how it dries before going all the way. Using a back and forth light touch, let that dry, than do it again. See what you think. If it doesn't bubble, sounds like a great idea.

I don't know. But I personally would not do it. This thing although clear, does have a refractive index to it so that you do notice it. It will probably change the look of your wallpaper. For better or worse, I don't know. Getting it to consistent thickness is going to be tough as well, as well as figuring out exactly where you sprayed and where you have not. And it will probably drip too. And if you have moisture on the wall facing side of the wallpaper, the clear coat will make it worse probably.

yes it should. you can always use wallpaper glue to make extra sure. Hope this helps!!

Yes it can as long as the existing wallpaper is not peeling. Existing seams would have to be pasted if they are loose. This paper will is thicker so it covers designs and small imperfections in the existing wallcovering.

Hi Stephanie. This definitely wouldn't work as wallpaper as it is very thin plastic. It was great for temporary use for my son's birthday party though.

You could... the wallpaper is thick and wouldn't tear. It comes in 8 separate pieces though, so you would see the staples. Thick, doubled-sided tape would be a better option for you.

Hi! I wouldn't try it. Application involves water and I think the adhesive would take the paint of your walls. :(

I applied it to a regular painted wall, but I believe the adhesive they have you use (mix powder with water to make the paste) is just regular wallpaper paste, so maybe you can search for that and see if it would adhere. Good luck.

It's more like wallpaper. But I suppose, if you uncurl it, block it to stay flat, and use very strong magnets it might work. But it also has weight to it.

Not by themselves, you have to use a cleaning agent. We use them to clean our boats at work with soft scrub but I would try Wiindex or something for wallpaper. They work great , not abrasive.

I would never recommend putting new wallpaper over old. I always remove the old wallpaper first. If you use a steamer, it comes off fairly easy

Yes, but it will take a few coats to completely cover. I have found that any paintable wallpaper sucks up the paint the first time it's painted. Use a good quality roller made for uneven surfaces.

Yes you must use glue, and the surface MUST be smoothed out. Get a sheet of damp paper and stick it on the wall, and whatever imperfections you see reflected in that, you'll see in the wallpaper.

I recommend priming the old wallpaper first if you can't remove it. This paper seems sheer when it's wet and while we removed the old paper first, it seems like the old paper will show through this wall paper.

I just used windex and my scraper that I use to apply wallpaper, you could also use a credit card, anything that will glide over the film without catching or tearing it. so NO you don't have to do the application solution.

It can if you do a bit of extra work. There are inks you can purchase for printers that are waterproof. To make it have a shiny/harder cover, you can purchase clear sheets of contact paper, peel their backs off, and stick them over the sheet of paper. If the printed item is small enough, you can even use clear packing tape as an alternative to the contact paper.

I would say no. The adhesive they use is great, but doesn't make it waterproof.

I think it will work for your back splash application on walls that are a little rough. I am using mine on smooth walls, but because the wallpaper is very thick with strong sticking ability, I think it might work nicely for you. Because it has a little "texture" on its front, I also think it might hold up well in high-traffic back splash areas. This paper is truly peel and stick -- no water or glue necessary!
