Wallpaper curling up at seams

Aug 25, 2004 6 Replies

Some wallpaper I pasted on the walls around 6 months ago is lifting at the joints, whats the best stuff for sticking it back down,


Latex overlap adhesive, or Copydex. Slightly dampen the back surface of the paper before applying it, and remove any surplus with a tissue after pressing the paper down.

Yep, I'd go with the Copydex or something similar.....my decorator recently used the same trick & it worked a treat.

I once used a border adhesive - when I came to remove the paper and then to paint the walls it was a devil of a job to remove - I had to sand it off.

Round, oval, felt, masonry (they should be ok as they tend to not fall out), plasterboard etc :-)

Dave, in a playful mood. ;-)
