Apply coat of wallpaper paste to wall and allow to get tacky. 2. Apply layer of cheesecloth to paste. 3. Apply another thin layer of wallpaper paste and allow to get tacky again 4. Apply mural like wallpaper. This method allows the mural to be removed with minimal damage to the wall. The cheesecloth helps with seperation and the mural can be moved. Hot water or wallpaper paste can then be used to remove the rest of the paste and cheesecloth. This method has been used for many years, they even use this method in the White House. Hope this helps.
