I'm redecorating a room but I've had a bit of a management disaster and hung wallpaper before deciding to get the ceiling skimmed.

I whanged up some wallboard onto the ceiling, and the plasterer is going to skim & make good. However, one of the edges of the ceiling is a lie-in (it's an attic room), and he's going to feather in the ceiling to the slope with a fillet. For this he advised me to remove the freshly hung blown vinyl from the top of the lie-in so that he wouldn't be plastering onto wallpaper.

The wallpaper adhesive had clearly not cured fully because I was able to peel the paper off easily enough. Will I be able to bodge the wallpaper back onto the wall after he's finished the ceiling in a few days? I thought I might mix up a bit of tough paste with a splosh of PVA to give it some extra grab. Or will I have to clean the walls again and use fresh falls of paper?
