Problems with my wallpaper
2 Answers
I have recently hung lining paper on my bedroom walls and i can see where the paper is becoming loose in some places on the 'joins' and edges. This is probably due to me not using enough paste when i hung the paper originally but how do i fix the problem now? i am planning on painting over my lining paper so need to ge it sorted. a friend recommended using the glue that you use to fix borders to wallpaper to stick the lining paper back down but i have found that is not very sticky at all and doesnt do the job. any other suggestions?

I believe you can buy some 'peeling-edge-stick-it-down' adhesive (you can tell I'm an expert eh?) in a tube from big diy stores or you could just mix up a tiny bit of thick paste. Dampen the paper lightly where it's coming up to make it pliable & carefully lift away, paste it with a small brush & smooth back down with a dry cloth & hold it for a minute till it sticks.
hope that helps...
