Troubleshooting
Wallpaper bubbles or wrinkles after application
Ensure the adhesive was applied evenly and sufficiently. Gently lift the affected area and re-smooth it with a wallpaper brush, working from the center outwards.
Difficulty in peeling wallpaper during removal
Ensure the wallpaper has been soaked for the recommended 3-5 minutes. Re-soak if necessary, ensuring the water penetrates the material. Use a wallpaper scraper carefully if resistance remains.
Adhesive shows through the texture
Ensure you are using the correct amount of adhesive. Too much can ooze through seams or textured areas. Wipe away excess immediately with a damp sponge.
Color applied unevenly
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before application. Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a roller designed for textured surfaces for best results.
