There are a variety of reasons why wallpaper can become curled at the seams. Often, it's due to improper installation. If the surface isn't primed correctly, or if excessive smoothing pressure during installation squeezes out too much glue, then the wallpaper will not adhere correctly. High humidity in the room during installation will interfere with adhesion as well.
In other cases, bubbles become trapped under the wallpaper, gradually leading it to pull away from the wall. Damaged walls that form an uneven surface for adhesion are another cause of this all-too-common issue.
These are only a few of the possible causes behind curling wallpaper. However it happens, it’s certainly an unsightly problem. And what makes matters worse is wallpaper “memory.” If the wallpaper has been curled for a while, it naturally resists returning to a flat state.
The good news is that there is a solution to lifting wallpaper. Loose wallpaper repair is a useful skill to learn, and with ROMAN’s high-quality products, you can carry out this task quite effectively.
First, you’ll want to gather the tools needed to fix peeling wallpaper properly, all of which are fairly inexpensive. You should have the following items on hand before you begin:
- Wallcovering adhesive, like ROMAN's PRO-880 Ultra Clear: [ Ссылка ]
- A wallpaper smoothing tool, like ROMAN's: [ Ссылка ]
- A heat gun
- A paint brush
- Paper towels
The video above will show you how to fix peeling wallpaper. The process can be
summarized as follows:
1. Apply an even coat of your wallcovering adhesive onto the wall.
2. Use the smoothing tool to flatten the wallpaper while you simultaneously employ the heat gun on the material.
3. Wipe away any excess adhesive before it dries.
The purpose of the heat gun is to erase the curling memory of the wallpaper. This should enable the wallpaper to lie flat from now on. Be sure to keep the heat gun moving continuously across the wallpaper during the smoothing process to prevent burning or scarring of the material.
That's basically how to reattach wallpaper that has become curled. Remember that you can always trust ROMAN to provide the best wallpaper products on the market today.
