10-Minute Home Repairs

Fix a wallpaper seam


Fix peeling wallpaper seams
Hold a rag soaked in warm water over the peeling seam
 for a minute or two,
and then carefully open the gap a little larger so you'll have more room for the sealer

By Bob Rowland, a Field Editor from Minneapolis, has been a professional paper hanger for 45 years.

"If you have a wallpaper seam that's coming apart, reactivate the paste around the gap with a rag soaked in warm water. Hold the rag over the area for a minute or two, and then carefully open the gap a little larger so you'll have more room for the sealer. Squeeze seam sealer (Elmer's Glue works in a pinch) into the gap, and press the paper to the wall with a roller. Clean off the excess sealer with a sponge"
