4.0 out of 5 stars Let it "relax" first..., December 12, 2010

This review is from: Cars Victory Lane Blue/Black/Grey Self-Stick Wall Border, 5-Inch x 15-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

After painting my son's room two colors (light blue/dark blue), I was looking for a border and found this! I read all of the reviews and I must admist that I had some trepidation in buying this product. I decided to go ahead and buy it anyway (there are no other Car's options in borders). I brought it home and opened the packages and noticed that the border still conformed to the rolled-up shaped that it came in. I decided to hang the border in a closet for 2 days to see if it would "relax" and straighten out. Boy am I sure glade I did! Most of the length did straighten out substantially, however the ends still held the curled state more than I would have liked. Application to the wall was fairly easy and I did have to smooth out the border a number of times as the edges did separate from the wall slightly.

I went back into the room the next morning and noticed that the ends had come off of the wall about 12 inches (where it did not relax very well), however the rest still was secured to the wall. After re-attaching the ends and smoothing out a couple of times over the next day or two, it is well secured.

This is by no means a perfect product, however, there's a little hint to help with some of the frustration in applying this border.

Good luck!

This product is horrible. I followed the instructions carefully and had freshly painted, clean, dry walls. The product didn't stick for more than 5 minutes. It's difficult to put on and it doesn't work. I am very disappointed since I picked paint colors for my son's room based on this border and now it doesn't work so I need to buy another one which will not match.

This review is from: Cars Victory Lane Blue/Black/Grey Self-Stick Wall Border, 5-Inch x 15-Foot (Tools & Home Improvement)

So, I had some trepidation after reading how absolutely AWFUL this product is, but my son's room only required 2 rolls and I decided to take the risk. First of all, like another reviewer I hung my strips 2 days before I applied them. They straightened out quite nicely and I do believe this helped. The border was very easy to put up. My husband held the slack while I secured the border to the wall. I intermittently stuck thumb tacks into the border and pressed the border to the wall firmly many times. Later that night I did notice a couple of spots that were pulling away from the wall. I just smoothed it out and pinned a couple of thumb tacks in the troublesome area. The next morning all was well and it is still holding strong. I thought I should mention that 1 package of the border created no pulling at all and adhered very well to the wall, while the other package gave me a couple of problem spots. I did think that was interesting. Also, the walls were painted 2 days earlier and the area cleaned. I believe all in all this product is just fine, in most cases you are paying less than $10 for a package and you do get what you pay for. Take a couple of precautionary steps to insure that your product works and it should be fine. We are happy with ours!
