Hello all
Wonder if anybody could help me out - I'm wallpapering a bedroom with some Colefax and Fowler paper and as soon as the paste reaches the edges they start to curl towards the surface. As it's soaking I've tried leaving them, repasting them and pushing them together but nothing seems to want to make them relax. This is making butting the seams on the walls almost impossible as even when pushed down with the brush they don't flatten down. It's only when wiping the sheet down with a sponge they start to sit, but not fully until dry. I've tried Solvite paste and the ICI stuff from the dulux trade centre mixed at both recommended amounts and a bit thicker with no joy.
I've never had this problem before, is there something I'm missing?
Oh and the walls are lined and sized.
Thanks for any advice.
