Preparation of Goods:
Examine goods to assure that pattern, color, quantity, and quality is as
ordered.
Preparation of Chalkboard: MarkaWall
can be installed over any properly prepared chalkboard surface. Surfaces
to be covered must be clean, smooth, dry, uniform in color, and
structurally sound.
If possible, remove the frame from the mounting clips. Removing the
frame will allow for rough trimming of the wall covering material under
the frame area, thus eliminating any possible trimming flaws. Be careful
when removing the frame, as the board might be loose. Wall covering
trimming techniques may be used if the frame cannot be removed.
You must use an adhesion promoting acrylic primer. Any wallpaper
store can supply this material. Below is a recommended primer and
adhesive info:

SECOND STEP:
You must apply a vinyl over vinyl adhesive. I this is not done
there will be moisture that will be trapped under the material.

see trapped air bubbles after about 24 hours. Recommended
adhesive:
