It’s a tough job but somebody needs to do it!
Q.
My husband and I live in a 100-year old Victorian. About five years
ago, we had someone hang wallpaper in the large foyer, along the hall
and in the second-floor hallway. About one year later (perhaps a bit
longer), the wallpaper started coming apart at the seams.
A.
Too bad, but fixable. The hanger forgot to put glue sizing on the
walls before pasting the paper. It’s always needed, even with so-called
self-sizing paste. The paper is probably strippable, so pull it off
the wall carefully for re-use. Wash all the paste off the walls, then
apply glue sizing on them before putting up the old (or new) paper with
vinyl paste.
