Silk Dynasty copper wallcovering

[Joefaux]

I was awarded this job without really knowing what I was getting into on this project. I've been a paperhanger for twenty years off and on and have quite a bit of experience. I think I'm up for the challenge.
Are there any serious pitfalls I should watch out for installing this project.
The recomended method for installation is dry hang, overlay, dbl cut.
Cut and Run or Stay the Course.
Thanks,
Joefaux

Geez, sorry no one answered here. Then again, not a lot of people have installed Patina.
Double cut? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:roflmao:

These are real copper sheets, with an electrostatically-applied primer on the back. The effects on the face are acrylic- they can be rubbed, scuffed, peeled off fairly easily.

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around.

Smooth walls. Blankstock liner. Dynamite HD non-strippable clay. Paste the wall. Tajima blades. Cut edges will cut you, and very nastily.

Directions say that you can wrap corners. Bologna. Have trim installed on outside corners.

Get some colored caulk and some matching (to the material) acrylic artist colors.

One great tip, passed on to me by NGPP member John Little: when the material is bent out, say when you peel the sheet back to complete a corner cut, don't push the now-curled edge back in and try to adhere it; bend it back towards the wall and push in.

And yes, I did cover the plates.
