This wallpaper is made in Sweden by Lim & Handtrycks Färg & Tapetmakeri in Mölndals Kvarnby. The wallpaper ink is a distemper reinforced with linseed oil, which means it can be safely wiped with a wet cloth or sponge. The ink and its pigments are lightfast, completely non-toxic, free of synthetic additives, and contain no solvents, plastics, or plasticizers. The wallpaper is hung with a cellulose adhesive. For highly absorbent underlying surfaces, the glue should be applied to the wall in advance. The wall must be solid and well-cleaned. The wallpaper comes with non-cut edges and should be trimmed in the traditional way during hanging. An overlap of 8-10 mm (0.31-0.39 in.) is recommended. This will provide for optimal results in older buildings, which rarely have straight walls.
