Installing Long strips of vinyl

[fine point]

Hi all. I need some tips on installation.

We have to install long strips of vinyl, 3" wide x 10' to 20' long, on painted drywall. They have to be straight and some overlap and cross with each other.

I didn't think much about it when I got the job. but more I think about it, it started to sound like a headache...

Hope you guys have a good tip or two!

Thanks!

You can either measure everywhere and make lines to follow. What I use is a laser level on a tripod. Works very well.

I always measure off and then tape it off with 1/4" green auto masking tape. Lay the first bit down and lay it down by site while keeping it rolled up. No transfer tape and do not stretch it. You can always come back and squeegee it down after you lay it.
