Good video. Had this problem with a mural.....did what you did and then I used painter's tape to hold down seam and
left it for 1 week. Peeled off the paint and seam is perfect.
Ooh that’s a great tip about the tape…thanks for sharing Pat!
Exactly what I needed. Short and thorough. Thanks
It’s my pleasure! Let me know if it works!
First, i would use a high quality 3M sponge to wipe off the excess adhesive that squeezes out. Not soaking wet but more than completely squeezed out, and repeat a few of times.
Everything the creator said is true but there many many types of wallcovering and specialty wallcovering can be very difficult to work with and any moisture on the wallpaper surface can stain those materials, especially the adhesive.
I would also mention the seam roller can be very helpful too.
Oh, I use a large gauge medical syringe to insert glue under delicate wallpapers.
Awesome…thanks for sharing those tips! Definitely testing on a scrap if you have any is a good idea.
Simply explained, not too much information and short video. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much! Hope it helps!
Just to let everyone know I did this today and it worked so well!
@@AmazingYou_ yay! Glad you got your seams fixed!
Great video! Thanks for the demo 👍
Hope it helped!
Good morning, Adrienne, Yes it helped very much I did it this morning thank you again have a great day@@aboutmurals
@@ALPHAJACK78 yay! Great work!
I used commercial wall paper and after it died some of the edges curled. As you know the paper is vinyl how can I get it to lay down? Thank you for sharing this video! 😊
@@auntieb1082 you might need to try the heat gun I mentioned in the video.
Thank you- going to give it a try.
Let me know how it goes!
Nice! You're a gem!
Awww thanks Dylan!
Thanks I was needing something like this to fix my peeling wallpapers !!
Glad it helped, Batman! 🦇
Excellent advice.
Thanks Triple J! 🤗
Thank you. Helpful 👍🏻
Glad you found it helpful! 🙏🏻
Thank you!
Hope it helped!
Thank you. I think i wasnt making the wallpaper wet which is why it wasnt sticking
Glad that little tip helped!
v nice technique, love it
Hope it helped!
Elmers glue works too
Ooh I’ve never tried that! Thanks for the tip!
I have some large straps peeling which I want to repaste. Any ideas on what to use to clean the wall 1st to get off the dry glue?
Hey Elizabeth! I usually just use warm water with a bit of vinegar and a sponge (with some elbow grease). Remember to let the walls dry a little before you re-paste the wallpaper - if it's vinyl wallpaper, you don't want to trap moisture between the wall and the paper. It could cause mold. Let me know how it goes!
Great video!
Awww thanks!
Thanks very helpful , will try it dear
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!! I have had some tough seams to reattach and used adhesive caulk applied with a brush the same wY
Oh cool…I’ve never used that on seams before. Did it wipe off easily from the face of the wallpaper (assuming a little seeped out)? Thanks for the tip!
@@aboutmurals it did on vinyl paper with a little mineral spirits on a lint free rag
@@vickigonya9432 thanks for the tip Vicki! For any DIYer trying this, do a test on an inconspicuous area or a scrap piece to make sure it works on your type of wallpaper.
Please don’t do this! As a wallpaper installer who has removed lots of wallpaper, you will appreciate this advice when you have to strip the paper. If you use adhesive caulk or we call it liquid nails, you will need to replace the entire wall before you will get it off
I tried this but it didnt works, the seems wont paste.
@@deeesmeralda8577 you might need the heat gun. Did you try that?
I’m having a nightmare this is happening to me but even worse is that the sides have shrunk so I’ve got a tiny gap in between 😢 I was wondering about putting a layer of watered down pva over it ? 🤷♀️ it’s peel and stick
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear this is happening! I’m wondering if the peel and stick stretched during installation, and is now shrinking back down exposing a gap where you can see the wall.
If you can get the wallpaper to at least stick to the wall, you can paint the gap in a matching colour to the wallpaper so the wall blends in with the wallpaper.
Here’s a video I made a looooong time ago. It talks about hiding the white edge of the wallpaper seam, but it’s the same procedure to also hide the wall. ua-cam.com/video/zI2qBooTlbI/v-deo.htmlsi=ozpoXJ9cH-KrfCFb
Let me know if that helps!
Hello, Adrienne. I have a question: I have old wall paper I want to get rid of. So is it better to repair the old wall paper seams like you showed, and then put the new wall paper on top, or to just rip off all old paper and put the new ones on the uncovered wall? thanks.
Hey! Anytime it’s possible, I always recommend removing old wallpaper first (make sure to wash off old paste and re-paint if required,too). Wallpapering over existing wallpaper can create nightmares down the line.
Yes excellent advice!
Very straightforward, and a very beautiful woman❤
Thanks Adrian…nice name BTW! 😁
Hi with all due respects such problems shouldn't exist i can appreciate its a DIY installation, ive also noticed the use on a regularly basis pre-pasted wallpapers, in my eyes such wallpapers are 20 years out of date,
What nonsense! What if your building has damp issues for example?
@tomwigglesworth6943 Re your reply, if dampness was evident at the time of installation, the wallpaper should never be hung, common sense.
Hey Roger! I’m really not sure who installed it, but I was super happy to help my bestie fix it. It’s always nice when you can help a friend! 🤗
@@aboutmuralsI for one am so impressed by this level of friendship. ❤️
@@Lkhrobertson awww thanks! Yes, over 20 years of friendship. I'm blessed!
Excellent video thank you
It's my pleasure! Hope it helps!
@@aboutmurals it certainly did
