Summary
## Key takeaways - **Smooth Wall First**: Begin by using sandpaper to smooth the wall surface, removing any excessive bumps or texture. Once done, wipe the wall clean to clear away any debris. [00:40], [00:50] - **Center-Start for Two-Corner Walls**: For a wall with two corners, start at the center and work out. Use a measuring tape, straight edge, and level to ensure accurate placement. [01:01], [01:11] - **Paint Panels Pre-Install**: Paint the panels with 100% acrylic latex paint in your desired color before installation. Clean panels first with a damp cloth, then apply even coat using brush, roller, or spray nozzle. [01:22], [01:32] - **Adhesive on Both Surfaces**: Apply adhesive to the back of the panel and the installation area, following manufacturer's instructions. Install panels side by side as they are designed to minimize seams. [01:43], [01:54] - **Acclimate Panels Before Install**: Before installing, acclimate the thermoform PVC panels in the room where you will be installing them. Thoroughly read through the install instructions to familiarize yourself. [02:29], [02:41] - **Tools: Adhesive to Scissors**: Gather construction adhesive, utility knife, circular saw or table saw, paint brush and roller, measuring tape, sandpaper. Trim panels with utility knife, power tool, or heavy-duty scissors. [00:21], [02:08]
