Step 2Test the stickiness!!!

Test the stickiness!!!
I can not emphasize testing enough.

Take a segment of your ConTact paper, stick it firmly to a hidden wall, and peel it back up. Use a plastic card (like a library card) to press it firmly onto the surface.Also test that your tape can be removed easily.

If you want to ask about your surface ahead of time, you should contact the Kitterich Corperation, makers of ConTact Paper. They were very helpful in answering surface questions.

I tested my sticky stuff on an interior closet wall, and found that my ConTact paper was about as sticky as a Post-It note, if not slightly less. It was almost un-sticky to a fault, which is fine by me, since I don't want to pay for damages on my walls when I move out!) My tape also came up very easily, so I was good to go.

I just bought that same 75' roll to black out some windows and had most of it left. Thanks for an idea on how to use the rest.
