<h1>Care & installation</h1>
<p>Do not approach this process with sentimentality. This is not decoration; it is imposition. The following is a factual account of how to apply and maintain these objects. No frills. No concessions. Only results.</p>
<h2>Substrate Prep</h2>
<p>Begin with a surface that is flat, dry, and free of contaminants. Remove all existing coatings, including paint, wallpaper, or residue. Use a scraper or sanding tool to ensure the surface is smooth and even. If the substrate is porous, apply a primer designed for the material type. Avoid using any product that introduces texture or flexibility. The surface must be rigid and unyielding to prevent warping or buckling under the weight of the applied material.</p>
<h2>Paste Type</h2>
<p>Select a paste that matches the manufacturer’s specifications. Water-based pastes are generally acceptable unless otherwise noted. Avoid using paste that is diluted or expired. Apply the paste evenly with a brush or roller, ensuring full coverage without pooling. Excess paste will lead to uneven adhesion and premature failure. If the material requires a specific type of paste (e.g., starch-based), follow instructions precisely. Compromise here results in compromise elsewhere.</p>
<h2>Seam Handling</h2>
<p>Align seams with precision. Use a seam guide or straightedge to ensure alignment. Press seams firmly with a seam roller to eliminate gaps or bubbles. Do not stretch the material; stretching introduces stress that will cause tearing or separation over time. For seams that require overlap, trim excess material cleanly with a utility knife. Use a seam tape or adhesive if necessary, but only if the material permits. Avoid using heat or steam to adjust seams.</p>
<h2>Cleaning</h2>
<p>Clean surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive water. Wipe in a
