Step-by-Step Instructions

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.

2.  Now, place Barkskin® (pattern side down) on a clean work surface.  Pour pre-mixed glue into paint-roller tray.  Using a paint-roller or brush, apply glue to the back of the Barkskin®.  It’s best to use a thin, even coat of glue.

3.  Allow glue to set (drying time will vary according to the type of glue used), then wipe off excess glue with a dry brush or sponge.

4.  Align four corners of Barkskin® along the four diagonal lines at center of ceiling.  Apply Barkskin® to surface, and smoothly lightly with hands.  Flatten any wrinkles with the plastic smoother.

5.  Repeat steps 5-7 above, working outward from central Barkskin® piece in a clockwise direction until surface is completely covered.  Use a utility knife to cut off excess paper that goes beyond intended surface. 

6.  Don’t worry if the ceiling looks imperfect.  The slight gaps or overlaps of the Barkskin® will only complement the irregularities of the Barkskin® itself and add to the room’s rustic look overall.
