Repairing torn wallpaper

No comments
 

Paper is delicate and can sometimes be torn by a sharp object. You can often repair damage by carefully repositioning the torn section

Tools and materials
PVA adhesive, fitch, sponge



Carefully pull back the torn section of paper.
Apply border or PVA adhesive to the wall with a fitch (a small brush), taking care not to get it on the front of the paper.
Smooth the paper back into place with a damp sponge, removing excess adhesive.
