tips on getting orca on the ceiling

[Devoted1]

hey guys, i am just looking for a better way to put up orca along the walls and ceilings. i've seen some of you guys do it and make the seems line up really even over lapping each other. this is for a sealed room. i've tried to put it up before but it was really hard to start in a corner and work my way to the other side of the room. what tips do you guys have for cutting/measuring it out so well?

its really like a bazzilion times easier with a second person,aside from that,dont bother with the ceiling unless you are doing a sealed room.i almost never have a second person so i just start from a corner and staple along the top first and follow the ceiling line,once the top is in place you can smooth it down and staple it in place.....i really hate wrestling with that stuff,try reflectix,its tons easier to put up by yourself,it cost a bunch,but its good stuff

Smaller pieces are much easier than larger. I did my ceiling with a 12x14 piece and wished I had just cut it in half and taped the seem.

When all else fails tape up your mistakes. Orca tape sticks well to Orca film but not much else. Get lots of high temp foil tape.

Good luck.
