• The roller does not need to be completely immersed in the cuvette. It is enough to lower one side by a few centimeters, then the other. The roller is evenly rolled out so that the paint is well distributed.
• Paint is best applied in several layers. First, the ceiling is painted over vertically, that is, the movements look like the letter W. When the first layer dries, then the next layer is applied horizontally. So you can get a uniform surface color.
• Since wallpaper dries too quickly during painting, it is better to increase the humidity level in the room. A simple humidifier can be used for this. A basin of hot water will also help to achieve the desired result. You can cover the radiators with wet towels
• If there is a desire to highlight the wallpaper pattern after painting, it is necessary to paint the surface a third time. Only this time the work is done with light movements. A rubber or velor roller is suitable for painting.
