I tested the product 2 years ago after PJ was getting reports that the material bubbled up after being pasted and the bubbles never dried out after the material dried on the wall. I thought I had come up with a workable solution at that time until I heard from installers in the field who said they still got bubbles using my "fix." So I went back to the testing board and came up with something much better. I'm hoping this is fool proof and I will never get another phone call about the stuff. Truth be known, I am not even crazy about the way it looks. Phillip Jeffries has some really beautiful and unusual offerings http://www.phillipjeffries.com/ and IMO this isn't one of them.
Before you watch these videos I also want to say that I made a big mistake right off the bat. I thought that those random strands of stuff all over the surface of Jackson Square were strands of sea grass. But when I went to PJ's web site to find out what the current hanging instructions are... I found this:
Made from Paulownia wood known in Japan as the “good luck”
princess tree, the wood is first hand cut into thin veneer sheets. It's Paulownia wood strands not grass. How could I be so obtuse? Maybe all our luck will change to "good luck" now that we know what to call it.
(I suggest you right click on embedded videos and choose "Watch on youtube", then choose the full screen option because there are some close-ups you will want to see in HD.)
