Getting a bubble out of wallpaper

Bubbles normally occur because of poor initial application. Where there are lots of bubbles, replace the paper. Where there are only a few bubbles, repair as shown.

Tools and materials
Craft knife, PVA adhesive, fitch, sponge

Using a craft knife, cut open the bubble with a cross cut
Open out the four leaves of the cut and apply a small amount of PVA adhesive with a fitch
Use a sponge to smooth the leaves back into place, and allow to dry thoroughly
