Wall decal - inside corners

[Cal 393]

Been watching You Tube and searching all evening, without much success.

I want to apply a large tree graphic to the wall in our just completed master bath (walls were painted in early Dec.).  It will go in a small area and be applied to three walls and two inside corners.

 

So, I am looking for any tips you can share for applying through these inside corners.  Also, would you recommend on a large graphic in this situation to apply it in horizontal tiles or vertical?

Thanks,

Cal

My preference is hang them vertically. And with the side corner I suggest a specialty knife that runs about 20 bucks typically called a back cutter knife. It has a Teflon guard on in. It essentially let's you cut the backing paper without cutting the vinyl layer. I swear by them. Cut the backing along the line where the crease would be if you folded into the corner. Assuming if you are going left to right then apply the left side normally then remove the backing on the right side. Depending on the overall height I suggest getting a buddy to help hold out the material so it doesn't stick to itself while you apply.

Thanks for your input JP.  I do not think the knife is going to happen, this is the only decal I have to do...

That knife is handy for many different jobs. I bought one and now use it all the time, Major life savor in many ways ...search ebay also..

It all depends on how much the graphic costs. That $20 knife may save a $500 graphic install. It's pricey up front, sure, but the peace of mind it can give you once you know how good of a tool it is will justify the cost.

Ok, I will have to look into it.  Up to this point 99% of my business is smaller stencils that I use for sandblasting glassware, bakeware and mirrors.

In the event this goes well, though, I may have to do a few more.
