Wallpaper Repair – I
Don Vandervort says:
Many wallpaper repair jobs require patching with a matching piece of wallpaper. For this reason, when installing wallpaper, it’s always a good idea to save some for repairs!
As wallpaper ages, it tears, its edges work loose, and bubbles appear beneath the paper. Although much contemporary wallpaper is washable, older papers may not be and may become dirtier than you can tolerate. Sometimes repair is possible but in other cases the only solution is to patch or replace the damaged wallpaper. Tears and loose edges are part of normal household wear and tear. Bubbles in wallpaper may be an indication that whoever applied it did not use enough glue in some places or use a roller to press it close to the wall. Bubbles may also be an indication of moisture problems in the wall beneath–take a close look before you repair bubbles in wallpaper.
