As a senior, putting this ceiling up by myself was probably not the best idea, but it HAD to get done by Thanksgiving so I pulled out my stepladder and went at it. The overall geometric pattern made it easy to line up and match edges, and the pattern is busy enough to dazzle the eye away from any minor imperfections in application. The glue took hold well, and I only had to apply pressure for a minute or so...but that was not so easy. I did eventually fashion a large cloth-wad on a stick to make it somewhat easier than having my arms up over my head, even so I would recommend this product. Also recommend having two people who work well together rather than a solo flight! I will likely do another ceiling soon, as this one came out so well!
