Product Information
Full details
The Mako Flexible Wallpaper Smoother is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators who want a seamless, professional-grade finish on their wall coverings. Its primary benefit is the ability to easily eliminate air bubbles and wrinkles while ensuring a consistent bond across surfaces, though users should be mindful that it requires consistent light pressure to avoid stretching or tearing delicate paper types.

FAQs
Can I use this on ceilings?
Yes, the flexible design is ideal for ceiling applications where maintaining consistent pressure is vital.
Is this tool safe for expensive wallpaper?
It is generally safe, but always test the tool on a small, inconspicuous area or a scrap piece before starting on your main wall.
How do I prevent tearing the wallpaper?
Use steady, sweeping motions and avoid applying excessive pressure on corners or edges where the paper is vulnerable.
Is this tool suitable for beginners?
Absolutely; its ergonomic design makes it intuitive and much easier to use than standard brushes or cloths.
How should I store the tool?
Store in a cool, dry place and ensure it is not bent or pressed under heavy objects, as this may warp the flexible edge over time.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles persist after smoothing
Apply slightly more pressure during the initial smoothing pass and ensure you are working from the center outward.
Tool leaves marks on delicate paper
Ensure the edge of the smoother is clean of debris or adhesive, and use a lighter touch or wrap the edge in a thin, soft cloth.
Adhesive build-up on the tool
Gently clean the surface of the tool with a damp sponge immediately after finishing the job to prevent hardened residue buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply ensure your hands are clean before use to avoid transferring dirt to the wallpaper. This tool is compatible with most standard residential wallpaper types, including non-woven and vinyl, but you should test it on a scrap piece when working with extremely delicate or foil-based materials. After each use, wipe the tool down with a damp cloth to remove any excess adhesive residue. Store it in a dry place away from direct heat to maintain the flexibility of the material.
