Take A Shortcut To The Border (NAPSA)—Lookingfor a quick, easy, inexpensive way to adda little pizzazz to your wall dcor? Add a wallpaper border! Borders are available in lots of different styles and colors—from whimsical borders for kids’ rooms to borders that can add style and character to any room in your home. And, thanks to new products specifically formulated for today’s prepasted borders, they’re easier to hang then ever before! Here’s how to incorporate a border into your next decorating project: Select a border that reflects your style and complements the dcor of the room. If youre hanging the border on a wall that already has been painted or wallpapered, bring a paint chip or wallpaper swatch for matching. Or, reverse the process: Select a border you really love and bring it with you when you shopfor paint. Makesure the wall surface is free of any dirt, grease, wax, old wallpaper adhesive, mold & mildew and other contaminants. If you are hanging a prepasted border on a painted or wallpapered surface, use a product like ZINSSER’s new PREPZ One Step Border Prep & Adhesive. PREPZ makes border hanging quick and easy by eliminating the need for sizing, special adhesives and messy water trays. Use the convenient applicator to apply PREPZ to the back of the border. Then fold the border backto itself (paste to paste) in 18” lengths, to create an “accordion fold”, until the entire length has been preppedfor installation. You’re ready to hang! Hold the folded border in one hand and unfold it with the other, placing it in position on the wall. Smoothit out as you go using a plastic smoothing tool, like the WalWiz 3 IN 1 Wallpaper Tool, to remove air pockets and seal down edges. Remove any excess PREPZ with a sponge or towel and clean water. It’s that simple! For more helpful hints on hanging borders and wallpaper—or removing them—visit www.zinsser.com.
