| Even though Textra wallcoverings are quite durable, a forceful or sharp impact might damage the wallcovering or the wall itself. But repair is fast and easy using standard wallcovering tools. |
|
| Cut a piece of Textra wallcovering several inches larger than the damaged area. Carefully line up the pattern or texture with the original wallcovering. Then tape it into position over the damaged area. |
|
| Double cut both the new piece of Textra and the damaged Textra to ensure a precise seam when the repair is finished. |
|
| Remove both the new piece of Textra and the damaged wallcovering. Note the orientation of the patch so it can be properly installed later. |
|
| If the wall is not badly damaged (small holes, dents, or scratches), there may be no need to repair the wall. Just apply adhesive to the area where the wallcovering was removed. If damage to drywall or plaster is extensive, you may need to repair the area with spackling or drywall compound. |
|
| Place the Textra patch onto the repair area, and carefully line up the pattern or texture.
Firmly brush Textra into the adhesive. There is no need to roll edges or seams. |
|
| Paint the patch and adjacent areas with a roller using the same paint that was originally used on the wall.
The combination of paint and Textra's pattern result in a neat professional patch. |
