Barkskin® Ceiling Project

Materials 
Tape measure
Barkskin®
Roman’s R-35 wallpaper prep
Pre-mixed wallpaper glue
Paint-roller and tray
Paintbrush
Damp sponge
Plastic smoother
Utility knife
Straight-edge
Chalk line

Prep Work Required

Step 1: Paint ceiling a base-coat color similar in color to the Barkskin® you will be using.

Step 2: Measure the ceiling’s square footage to determine the amount of Barkskin® required to cover entire surface.

Step 3: Use the measuring tape, straight-edge and utility knife to cut the Barkskin® into squares of equal size.

Step 4: Apply wallpaper — measure beforehand to fit wall or ceiling surface — and let dry.

Process

Step 1:  Find center point of ceiling by creating diagonal lines that form an X in the center of the ceiling.  This can be done easily by extending the chalk line from corner to corner and snapping the chalk onto the ceiling.
