Tips for unpasted lining paper

[handyattimes]

Cos I'm a rubbish wallpaperer I got a more experienced person in to do my hall and landing. They're not professional and quite proud of what they've done. However, now they've finished there's a few edges that seem not to have been fully pasted down and have come away from the wall. They're very small sections but one in particular is very noticable. What's the best way to re-glue them? There's isn't any paste left, is there and easy method and application?

id start by buying some more paste.

Assuming I've got the paste how can it be applied to a 3inch by 2inch flap on the side of a piece of paper? Sorry if this sounds a bit lame but never done it before and I don't want to start slapping paste all over the place or removing a whole strip of paper.

Instead of the wet type of paste, you can get something called Border and Overlap adhesive which is more like a glue. It sticks really well. I'm a rubbish wallpaperer (so in the past I've frequently had edges that don't stick) and I've found that this works well. You can apply it with a small brush - try a child's paintbrush. I'm sure the experts will roll up their eyes at this but if you find it hard to get behind the paper, you could tear it a little while it's dry (I think tearing works better than cutting) and then glue it back into place.
