How can I ensure the 3D panels are properly aligned during installation?

To ensure proper alignment of 3D panels, it's essential to use a laser level or a traditional water level. Start by marking guide points on the wall before installing the panels. During installation, regularly check the alignment with the level to keep the panels straight and the joints perfectly aligned. This is especially important to maintain the continuity of the design pattern.

Can I paint 3D plaster panels after installation? If so, what type of paint should I use?

You can apply the paint with a roller, brush, or spray gun, depending on the desired level of detail and the type of finish you're aiming for.

What is the best method for hiding seams between 3D panels?

To hide the seams between 3D panels, apply a smooth, uniform grout to the joints after the panels are installed. Use a fine spatula to smooth the grout and create a seamless transition between the panels. Once the grout is dry, sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper to ensure a smooth, even surface. This process effectively eliminates visible seams, giving the wall a cohesive appearance.

How can I ensure a smooth finish on my 3D panels before painting?

To achieve a smooth finish on your 3D panels, carefully sand them after jointing. Once the joint compound is fully dry, use fine-grit sandpaper to gently sand the seams and any rough areas on the panels. This will create a smooth surface that is ready for painting. Proper sanding is key to achieving a professional and polished final look.
