I bought this as an alternative to bead board paneling to put over some sheet rock that I installed in my bathroom. I didnt do a good job mudding the seems so I had to do something to cover it. This wall paper is super nice. I did find that it gets fragile if you dunk the entire peice. I found if you lay out the piece and spray it with a water bottle, let the glue activate and then hang it with a partner it goes up pretty easily. I was surprised how nice it looked. To seal it I will be painting it, just haven't got to that part yet.
