JUJU PAPERS HANGING GUIDE
The following information regarding specifications and/or hanging advice (either verbal or written) is supplied in good faith, for
your assistance, but without guarantee, since site conditions are beyond our control. We can accept no liability for the performance of the products arising out of such use.
A professional paper hanger is recommended to best assess the ideal installation specifications based on your unique
environment. For a professional paper hanger in your area please consult the Wallcovering Installers Association (formerly
the National Guild of Professional Paper Hangers): https://www.wallcoveringinstallers.org/. We also strongly suggest that
you hire an installer who is familiar with hanging untrimmed wallpapers. Be sure to ask! Our wallpapers are untrimmed.
We recommend that the paper order quantities, or "roll counts", be carefully calculated. If you are using a professional
hanger, they will provide this service. Please refer to the WIA website for further instructions on measuring for wallpaper.
https://www.wallcoveringinstallers.org/consumers/wallcovering-resources/ Please take special note that most Juju
patterns have a 36" repeat, and several have a half-drop. This should be taken into account when calculating quantity, as a
half-drop of this size typically necessitates an increase in quantity. We are happy to help you with your roll count as well.
We inspect every roll and every order of Juju Papers before shipping. However, the buyer/installer should carefully
examine this wallpaper for color, design, quantity, and imperfections before installing. Ensure that all rolls are part of the
same order, have no variation in color, and that there are enough rolls to complete the job.
Examination of the paper before hanging is the buyer's responsibility. If any errors in the aforementioned are found, we
ask that you submit the claim for review within two weeks of having received the wallpaper. Once cut, no claims for return
may be made.
Surface Preparation:
Walls should be clean, dry, and even. Remove any old wallpaper and loose paint. There should be no mold, grease, or dirt
present. Roughen painted surfaces with sandpaper. Scrape powdery, flaky surfaces. New plaster should be completely dry.
Wall surfaces should be primed and then prep-coated using a latex wallpaper prep coat and allowed to dry completely
before beginning installation.
In some cases, or for a superior installation, a liner paper may be recommended. It is at the discretion of your paper
hanger whether this step is necessary/recommended for your installation. For superior results, a liner paper is recommended.
If hanging a dark wallpaper, consider using a dark primer under seam areas. Dark wallpapers may also need to have their
white trimmed seams colored with a paint/pencil/crayon/charcoal of similar tone. We strongly recommend testing your
paint/pencil/crayon/charcoal carefully on a scrap piece before coloring the wallpaper seams, and then carefully coloring
the white trimmed seams prior to installing the wallpaper. Once the wallpaper is installed, great caution should be used to
carefully fill in any seams with color. Tests on scrap wallpaper should be carried out before attempting to color visible
seams.
Trimming:
Juju Papers are designed for a butted seam installation. All wallpapers are supplied untrimmed.
There are three basic ways to cut the wallpaper: Table trim dry, table trim wet, or double cut trim. Your paper hanger will
choose the best trimming method for your particular installation.
A "trim join" mark is printed inside the pattern on both edges. Before trimming and cutting drops, ensure that you know
the correct repeat and match. This information can also be found on www.jujupapers.com for each pattern.
Layout:
1) Mark your first vertical plumb line on the wall for your first drop seam.
2) Cut your wallpaper strip longer than the wall height you intend to cover.
Pasting:
A professional-quality, clear, pre-mixed, adhesive wallpaper paste should be used. A professional paper hanger will choose
an appropriate paste for your unique site. Please take the time to pre-test the compatibility of the adhesive you choose
with our paper, especially on patterns which contain metallic inks, and allow the paper to dry completely to ensure that
the adhesive is performing satisfactorily.
3) Apply an even film of paste to the back of the paper, moving the paste brush or applicator from the center to the edge.
4) Fold moistened strip paste-to-paste. Anticipated soaking time is 3-5 minutes, depending on conditions, but a
professional hanger should be able to gauge the appropriate soak time. It should be enough time for the paper to relax,
absorb moisture, and expand fully. Care should be taken not to excessively crease the paper when folding. Minimize
adhesive contact with the surface of the wallpaper. Gently remove any adhesive on the surface of the paper with a soft,
damp, clean, sponge.
Hanging:
5) Carry the wallpaper to the wall. Slide the drop into position along the vertical plumb line on the wall.
6) Smooth out bubbles using a paper hangers' smoother, from center to the edges, expelling all air bubbles. Avoid
squeezing paste out of joints. Take extra care with metallic inks, since excessive rubbing and wear can cause the inks to
loosen. Hanging does not require excessive pressure.
7) Take care to ensure that all adhesive residue is completely wiped from the surface, as leftover paste may stain the
wallpaper. Gently use a damp sponge and clean water. Excessive brushing can cause burnishing.
8)Trim top and bottom with a professional-grade straight edge and a professional-grade, new, sharp, razor knife. Always
re-check for adhesive on surface.
9) Using pattern match at baseboard and ceiling as reference, determine the length of your next strip, allowing for extra
trimming for pattern match. Take extra care when using a wallpaper with a half-drop repeating pattern to match the
pattern correctly.Then follow the Steps 3-8.
10) Gently roll butted seams with a seam roller.
11) Repeat Steps 3-10 for all remaining strips of wallpaper.
12) Allow adequate ventilation and time to dry naturally.
Cleaning:
In general, clean surface using a soft duster. Juju Papers are spot washable by gently using a solution of mild dish soap and
water on a soft towel or sponge. After cleaning, rinse with water. Do not rub excessively or scrub, as this can cause
burnishing. If you encounter a tough stain, you can test a non-bleach kitchen cleanser in an inconspicuous area and assess
the results. If it does not remove the varnish from the paper or otherwise change the appearance, then gently apply the
cleanser to the stained area following the instructions above.
