Why Do Wallpaper Seams Separate or Shrink? - Spencer Colgan 

What a compliment from a veteran like yourself! Thank you so much

Thanks Michael. Always a pleasure! Tell me...what’s an undulating wall?

So sorry. Never worked with it. Thank you for watching.

Yes sir! Luis, my YT friend....I still agree. Because it’s still the case. I’m told, although I have yet to see this to be true for myself, that 880 and 838 have one difference and that is that 838 produces less bubbles. Sometimes the store does not have 880 and so I get the 838 but both work the same for me

Great! Thanks Spencer for sharing your experience again. I'm sorry for my late response, some how I missed your answer. Now, according to the specs, 880 is strippable and 838 doesn't. However I have removed wallpaper installed with 838 and it shows strippable characteristics. Would 880 be stripped even easier? Have you removed 880? Thanks.

I would mist the material with water. Just a mist! Apply the adhesive to wall obviously and the 2 should bond well. Let adhesive set till just tacky.

1. Although there is no need to keep paste off of all wallcovering, you would: A. Avoid pushing it out from under the paper. B. Roll on the paste without rolling over the back onto the pattern side.

@@spencercolgan Thank you Spencer What I really wanted to know was, on commercial wall covering how do you keep the clay base off the front of the paper when you're pasting it. Because once you get the clay base on there it stains the paper.

Roseann Anderson, you roll it on the backing or put it on a pasting machine and be very diligent Roseann to keep that glue away from the front. I know. Not a breakthrough! But. That’s what I do.

Roseann, if you stain your vinyl, rake Can of coke a cola, mix a can of water with a an of coke and this removes most marks!!!

It doesn’t happen months later. It happens within the first few hours after hanging each sheet. You have to nurse the seams, meaning, go back and check as you continue to install it. This is what I said to do at the end of this installation. Please review the video.

@@spencercolgan In my country we don't have that type of glue... And I had an experience, after installation of wallpaper to my client he came and opened windows, because there were quite hot in the room and high humidity... next day when I came wallpaper did shrink.. I had to rip it, and do it again.... Another time I came to another of my clients, he did wallpaper on not even color wall and after that you could see the difference in parts of wall that the color under is not even... After these experience we always paint the wall. The wall like yours it would take me 30 min to paint. After that its only fast work with wallpaper and I'm done... And you know what else we do: we make cut in inside corners. Because most likely in some years wallpaper will be loose in inside corner if it wont be cuted. That is our experience and how we do it to get perfect results, guaranteed results in fast time - because time=money. And this method isn't mine... many contractors do like this and I have learned from my experience that it works better for me. Cheers :)

waller does slip and slide if it is primed with clear strippable glue

William, that’s what happens when you’re a hustler and you’re working hard alone, and you want to teach people your craft, and you’re the only guy there doing the job in holding the camera at the same time. People like you are so negative that your comments are better off kept in your mind rather than come from your hand or your mouth. That is why they make water and sponges by the way
