Q. What's the best way of sticking back loose wallpaper or edges that are curling away from the wall?

A. When the adhesive behind wallpaper dries out, the wallpaper will sometimes lift and curl away from the wall. Poly Wallpaper Paste is ideal for sticking back loose edges. If the wallpaper is thick or heavily curled, wet it with a sponge as this makes it more flexible and easier to work with. Remember to wipe away any excess adhesive squeezed out when the wallpaper is pressed back into place.
