Preparation
The Insta-DE 2 product is to be solely installed on a flat surface. The dry erase function of this product
requires a smooth writeable surface. Elite Screens is not responsible should these instructions not be
properly followed. Any surfaces that are textured (ex. orange peel, drilled holes, glue/tape residue, dents,
etc.) should be patched, sanded, and primered before applying the Insta-DE2 screen.
The warranty of this product will be voided if any bubbling occurs due to the use of an after-market
spray adhesive or if the screen was applied on to a textured wall.
Commercial use recommendation
If you would like your screen to have a professional-grade finish that is flat, durable, and free from
imperfections –Elite Screens strongly recommends hiring a professional wallpaper installer, and
using a stronger adhesive material such as Shur-Stik Heavy Duty Clay Wallcovering Adhesive. You
can purchase this product easily online, or consult with your wallpaper installer for other options.

Installation
Watch the installation video at: www.elitescreens.com/ide2install
We strongly recommend two or more people for this installation.
1. Smoothen the entire surface of the wall with sandpaper.
2. Clean the entire surface with a wet sponge or lint-free towel to remove any dust left from sanding the
wall.
3. Measure and draw line around the screen installation area.
4. Apply the included double-sided tap over the line. Do not remote the top film of the tape
5. Pour an entire powder bag into a paint bucket filled with 27 oz. of room temperature water and stir until
all lumps are gone and the compound has a syrup texture. This will make the mixture into an adhesive
compound for sticking the film to the wall.
Note: Once the compound has been mixed, it must be applied within 4 hours to ensure a sealed
installation of the Insta-DE2 to the wall. Use one bag for every 27 oz. of water.
6. Pour the mixture into a paint tray and dip the roller.
7. Apply a thin coat of adhesive to the surface evenly with a paint roller.
8. Once the adhesive has dried, sand the surface to ensure no adhesive residue is left on the wall.
9. Then, apply/spray water on the surface to regain the stickiness from the compound glue.
10. Unroll the Insta-DE2 on to the wall lining it up with the drawn line from Step 3.
Note 1: Each side of the material is labeled FRONT/BACK
Note 2: Do not allow the material to wrinkle or crease to avoid permanent damage.

9. Flatten the surface with a flexible wall smoothing tool in a 45 degree angle to avoid scratching the surface.
10. Lift edges and smoothen out any remaining air bubbles.
Caution
The smoothing tool’s edge is sharp. Carefully scrape the screen when removing air bubbles to avoid scratching
the surface.
11. Peel off the top layer of the double-sided tape and flatten the screen’s edges with the smoothing tool.
12. Use a soft damp towel or sponge to clean entire surface.
Adhesive black velvet border installation
1. Measure the top/bottom and left/right sides of the Insta-DE2 screen to obtain the required length of the velvet
border you will need to use for bordering your screen.
2. Peel a small portion off of the velvet border and place it about half an inch over the white area of the screen.
Continue to peel off and roll out the remainder of the velvet border until you have reached the end and cut the
edge.
Note: For best results we recommend cutting the edge in a 45° angle.
3. Repeat the process for the remainder of the sides until all sides are bordered as shown below.

4. Allow the compound to dry for approximately 3-4 hours before using the dry-erase feature of the Insta-DE2.
Use only the included erasers to remove and erase dry-erase markings. For a deep clean, we recommend using
a non-alcohol based dry-erase board cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth.
Elite offers a replacement kit (part number ZER3) which includes:
1 x bottle of 8.45 oz cleaning solution
1 x microfiber cloth
2 x high density foam erasers
2 x sets of dry-erase markers (4 total)

Safety Precautions:
A. Avoid using sharp objects directly on the screen which can result in permanently damaging the product and
voiding your warranty.
B. Creases or wrinkles caused by improper installation are not removable.
Attention: Prior to installation, please view the following on-line video

The above pictures are the result of improper installations. There are two main factors that should be considered
in order to avoid this from occurring to your installation:
1. The surface to which you are installing this material to should be perfectly smooth. If in case the surface is
uneven, it is recommended to place a smooth board over the desired space of the install first. This will
eliminate any bubbling of the material over time.
2. Make sure the water and surfactant (soap) are properly mixed. You can dilute the mixture by adding warm
water.
