Will wall decals work on a slightly textured wall?

i have very slightly textured walls in my new house. i was wanting to put up wall decals in my babies nursery. will they stick very well?Will wall decals work on a slightly textured wall?
Probably not. Those decals really only work well on smooth surfaces.





You could opt for a few cute and colorful framed pictures and hang them at a good viewing height for the babies viewing from the crib.


Put a few pics on a couple of walls and hang them in a row, spaced evenly.Will wall decals work on a slightly textured wall?
I make the vinyl wall decals. It depends on the texture. If it is a flat stucco texture, it will work if you apply it and work it into the grooves. Or if you apply it lightly without pressing it, you can keep it a little more smooth... you just have to make sure no one presses on it at a later time.





If you have the type of texture that is bumpy, it will stick as well... but you may not be happy with the look.





I could mail you a sample of vinyl if you would like so you could test it out and see if it works for you.
It depends what you mean by slightly textured.





If you mean the texture that is a plastered brick wall covered in paint then this should be okay.





If the wall has a sand bagged finish, or suede style texture then this will probably create too much texture for the wall decal.





You can always ask a company for a small sample to try.
May not, unless you wallpaper paste them well.





How about just hiring a local artist to do a wall mural...
Probably not unless you add a supplemental adhesive.

  • FSX plane texture problem

    Whenever I download add-on planes for FSX (from simviation or avsim) occasionally the plane will seem to be missing its textures and it ends up with a white texture all over. About half the times I download, this happens. Sometimes only half the textures appear. It's very strange, especially since the authors of the planes report no problems. Am I doing something wrong? What should I do?FSX plane texture problem
    hmmm.. that's weird. that's pretty much never happened to me, either it works completely or it doesn't.





    I'm thinking it could be a framerate issue and that it's not using a lot of resources for your plane's textures to load. try setting a limit on your frames.





    that's if you downloaded the whole plane. if you have only downloaded and installed textures it could be that the textures weren't meant for the plane you installed them. a 737-800 opensky texture isn't the same as the default.





    i hope it helps.

    How do i get the grout film off of my black, ceramic, textured tile??

    I choose a dark gray, textured, ceramic tile for my kitchen and a light gray grout. After cleaning several time with water, the film will not go away. Now the texture has the color of the grout stuck in it. I don't really want to use acid if at all possible, but if it's a ';safer acid'; I would try.How do i get the grout film off of my black, ceramic, textured tile??
    White vinegar and water ...about 4 cups of vinegar to a gal of water. Use a sponge and rinse it often in another bucket of clean water. If you don't keep your sponge rinsed you will just be moving the haze around. Rub it in a circular motion then rinse your sponge in the bucket of water then dip it and wring it out in the water and vinegar solution. Set the sponge down and make a big long swipe with it. The trick is once you lift the sponge up don't put it back down until you rinse it. You can flip it over and use the other side but like I said once you lift it.... rinse it in clear water then back to the vinegar water. Do this a few times until your rinse water stays clear. Good luck hope this helps.How do i get the grout film off of my black, ceramic, textured tile??
    Just use a dry cloth and takes lots of elbow grease. The textured tiles can be a pain with grout.
    Go to a C-Cure distributor and buy C-cure crystals. It is a sulfamic acid that you can use fairly safe to get the grout film off. Next time, use a sealer on the tile prior to grouting or get a product called grout release.

    How do you keep paint from migrating past the border tape in textured interior walls?

    You need to ';feather'; the paint on under the tape... lightly load the brush, and then lightly (think of this-- youre using a feather to paint, do it gently!_ stroke the paint from MID TAPE DOWN. If you do this patiently, it will sort of seal off the bottom of the tape with a layer of paint, and then you will be able to paint the next coat normally. You will need to be really careful when you take the tape off that it doesnt peel any of the paint off, but once you take your time with that, it should all be nice looking and crisp.How do you keep paint from migrating past the border tape in textured interior walls?
    Make sure your tape is down really tight to the wall (I use blue 3M painters tape), use a brush rather than a roller to cut in along the tape, don't load a lot of paint on the brush, paint strokes away from the tape. Should help unless you have one heck of a texture.How do you keep paint from migrating past the border tape in textured interior walls?
    I painted my bedroom today and had the same problem...it's hard to press the tape deep enough into the texture in order to prevent leakage. I think I'm just going to go back over it with a small paintbrush (like one i'd use for art) and try to make thin lines to define the edges and cover up the spots that seeped under the tape. The paint was fine in most spots, but it looks pretty bad in the bumpier places. I found an old can of ceiling paint in my garage to touch up with, but I've got 3 more rooms to paint so I'm curious as to what you find out. I'll be watching this question...good luck!

    What is texture?In particular in paintings?

    texture is usually how something feels, rough or smooth, etc. in a painting, its pretty much the same thing, except you dont have to touch it to know what it feels like. some paintings look smooth, others look bumpy or rough, this is the texture. different maints and materials give different texture, but sometimes, in a painting something looks rough, when in actual fact its just 2d and flat.
