Surfaces to be covered must be clean, smooth, dry, uniform in
color, and structurally sound. Nicks, gouges, and other surface
imperfections should be filled with polyester automotive body filler,
sanded smooth, and dust cleaned away. Clean ballpoint pen ink,
wax crayon, ink marker, oil-based stains, or any foreign matter that
may bleed through wallcovering. Wipe down all surrounding trim
and tray with a damp cloth removing all dust and debris.
Spot prime any patched or stained areas with an enamel spray
paint similar in color to existing board’s surface. Walltalkers ® ®
wallcovering may allow show-through due to the limited amount
of opacity.
Cut material a few inches longer than needed to allow for
trimming at edges.
Apply a uniform coat of an adhesive promoting acrylic
wallcovering primer to the board surface. Follow manufacturer’s
application and clean-up instructions.
Apply a uniform coat of VOV, vinyl-over-vinyl, adhesive to the
board surface.
Unroll 3' to 4' of material and align one factory edge to the topmost
frame member on the board. The frame will be used as the level
line. Allow 1" to 2" of overlap on the vertical frame member. To
properly orient the learn • rite TM , apply so the pink line is directly
below the aqua dashed line.

dry erase wallcovering. Work the smoother in downward and
outward motions. Remove dirt or debris that may come between
the board and dry erase wallcovering. Peel the material back,
remove the debris, and smooth the material back onto the board.
When the material covers the entire board, remove the cloth from
the smoother. Use the straight edge of the smoother to crease the
material at the inside edges of the frame. With a utility knife, cut
a relief at each of the frame corners to prevent stressing the dry
erase wallcovering.
