trying to stick that down

Am I right in thinking this is an 'external' corner?

Am I also right in thinking you are stopping the wallpaper at this corner?

The best way would be to trim the paper 1 mm short of the corner.

I'm no expert but I would try border adhesive

sparkwright; yes it is an external' corner. i can't trim it as it would leave a fine white line. i need it to stick around the corner..

Will try border adhesive..

If your picture is anything to go by you are trying to paper all three faces of a chimney breast. That wasn't clear in your first message, and I thought you were deliberately ending the wallpaper at an external corner.

It seems poor planning has left you with a join at the external corner.

The length you are struggling with could be replaced with a narrower strip that doesn't reach the corner. Then cut another narrow length that will go from here to about an inch /inch and a half round the corner. You would struggle fitting a whole length here as the corner may not be plumb and you will have too much paper to try to work with.

If you struggle with gaps in some of the more complicated seams there is a technique of overlapping two pieces, and then trimming with a straight edge and craft knife, remove the two overlap offcuts and you should have a perfect join.

Or you could paint the wall black first where the joins will be.
