This paper I have is giving me more grey hair than I need. The trouble with it is no matter how I cut it the paper will still pull and rip. I am no way a pro decorator (Too slow) but for years have been able to do a damn good job making it look professional for family and friends as a side thing.
Anyhow I did the feature wall which looks perfect (was given a bit of advice on here about saving paper and it worked) I come to do the rest today looked at the manufacturer instructions and thought piece of cake I will have this done today. I was wrong!
The paper itself looks good and I know it was not cheap as I was their as the person bought it. The paper pastes good, looks fine while waiting for it to absorb, feels good when picking back up also movement on the wall is great. Everything but the god damn cutting.
A brand new Stanley blade will almost immediately start pulling at it and ripping so I drove to B and Q thinking it must be bad blades bought two different brands and both exactly the same.
What could be causing this?
Paper bad? Paste mix bad as in too much water? It does say on the label they suggest to use pre mixed paste but why would I pay over triple for less when I can mix my own?
Cheers for any advise.
