Eight panel murals

[tomcat]

I haven't put up one of these eight panel murals in about three years, and now I've got three to do in the next two weeks. They are not hard to put up, but what adhesive do you guys like to use with these. I hate using those little plastic bags of adhesive that come with them. Any tips?

BTW - the instructions say do not prime the walls first, so I don't. Has anyone ever tried to remove one of these? Just curious.

This must be an extremely difficult question, so I'll tell you what I did with the first one. After mixing up the little bag of adhesive provided and laying out the panel location, I rolled the entire wall with Romans heavy-duty clear. I then applied the provided adhesive onto a panel and installed it. Right, wrong, I don't know, but it came out great!

Paste the wall, mist the back to relax and hang away - that way you dont run any risk of oversoaking and the inevitable tearing and marking.
Here's a link to a blow-by-blow description c/w with photos of the South Jersey Chapter's mural test hang on Cliff Haye's site.

Yeah, not a difficult question, just one that slipped by me somehow.
Yes, I always prime the wall. I use an average acrylic prep, not Gardz or Drawtite. I think the last one I hung was over GH Bite primer.
I also hang them like Cliff's link, works great.
