Good evening! I was hoping that someone could advise me how to repair some wallaper that is peeling slightly in my living room. Currently it's coming away in the top corner ever so slightly - I can't quite get my fingernail under it - so how would I repair it? Is it even worth trying as am I likely to damage the wallpaper as it's not fully away?

Thanks in advance! David

Hi , sharp stanley knife, slit the paper open to the extent of the peeling, fold it back, if the reason it's peeled is that it has pulled the skim or whatever off the wall it needs to be PVA'd and left to dry before applying paste and re - sticking.
