Shrinking vinyl wallpaper?

it looks as though on the original install it was not done right. It may have been a prepasted paper that was underglued, or many other things. Properly hung paper would last. It looks as though it will pull off easily.

As Ransley said, it looks to be under glued. This often happens when do it yourselfer's hang paper.

These manufacture's recommend using a water tray & dip the paper through it. (assuming pre-pasted) Problem is the amount of glue on these papers vary considerably.

A better method is to lay the paper out on a table- start with water & add glue to the water until you have the proper gooeyness. Yes it's a word, I just used it.

As Ransley also said, it will be easy to remove.

Since you hate hanging it hire a pro. Or take it off, wash the old glue & paint.

It's more than that, the stuff actually shrunk. Before it started peeling, the edges began pulling away from one another. =20 This makes me wonder if all vinyl wall"paper" has the same problem over time.

Also, the paper was done by the builders. I bought the house new.
