Do I need to acclimate Stikwood?

Do you have issues with the adhesive not sticking?
If Stikwood is applied according to the recommended directions for application, then you shouldn't experience any issues with it not sticking to your surface. However, if you are having issues, then it is likely one of a few things that could be causing it:
- The area was still damp before Stikwood was applied

27
What can I Stikwood?
Stikwood will stick to any interior surface. The surface needs to be clean and smooth. If you'resticking Stikwoodto a wall that is not painted, you'll need to apply a coat of primer and let it dry completely.
28
Do I need to seal it if I use it as a backsplash? And what kind of sealant can I use?
It's not absolutely necessary to seal Stikwood when it's used as a backsplash. If you are concerned about water exposure, we can offer an add-on product called Splash Safe for $2.00 extra per square foot. This features commercial grade sealant applied to the front side of the planks for added durability.
29
Will it work in my bathroom or near moisture?
It can work in a bathroom setting as long as you take the proper preparation steps before installing it. First, it's important to be sure that your wall doesn't exceed 9% moisture content before installing. If possible, let your walls dry out for a couple days before installing and again after installing. It's important that you allow the material to acclimate unwrapped and outside of the box for 48 hours in whatever environment you are installing it in. Be sure to also use a J-Roller during installation to ensure proper adhesion for each plank.
30
Can I apply it to a fire place or near heat?
In most cases, Stikwood can safely be used around a code-approved fireplace as long as the surface you're applying the Stikwood to is not exposed to combustible materials. Each situation is unique, so it is important that you consult your fireplace's installation and safety manual before applying, to assure the area you are using Stikwood is considered a safe surface. We have had many customers use Stikwood to transform their fireplace with great success!
31
Are there options for temporary uses?
We are currently testing a new adhesive that is designed for temporary uses. In the meantime, we recommend nailing/screwing a thin piece of primed and/or painted plywood to the desired surface, and applying Stikwood directly to the plywood.
32
Can it be applied to a textured surface?
Some textured surfaces will adhere to the Stikwood products with ease, while others (that are less smooth) may have issues achieving maximum bonding. We recommend sanding the texture down if it is too textured. Once it is sanded, clean the area of dust/debris, then apply the Stikwood to the smooth surface.
33
Can I put it outside? What if I do not use the adhesive?
Stikwood is not designed for outdoor use. Without the adhesive, professionals (who are knowledgeable regarding the properties of real wood products) have used Stikwood in some outdoor applications. Stikwood is recommended as a semi-permanent interior wall-decor.
34
Can you put this product on a door?
Yes, Stikwood can go on a door or cabinet with ease. Make sure to use a J-Roller to ensure maximum bonding between the surface and the adhesive.
35
Can I apply this to a ceiling?
Yes, Stikwood can be used on ceilings, and it often is! If your ceiling is smooth, you can apply it normally. With that said, if you have a ceiling that's too rough, such as a popcorn textured ceiling, then the ceiling should be sanded first. If you're not sure whether or not your ceiling needs to be sanded, try a sample piece as a test and/or send our support team a photo.
36
Commercial/Retail space, will it work?
Absolutely! In fact, Stikwood is ideal for commercial and retail spaces, because the work can be done within a matter of hours with minimal hardware. Plus, there are no VOCs, so you can transform a space without interfering with your customer's experience.
