Tips for Applying Rice Paper to Different Surfaces

Good preparation and careful application can help you achieve a neat finish. Clean the surface, address any imperfections, and use a suitable primer or base coat when required for the material and existing finish.

Apply the rice paper using an adhesive appropriate for your project. Work gradually and smooth the paper gently to minimize wrinkles and trapped air. Allow the adhesive to dry according to its instructions before applying a compatible protective finish.
