decorators caulk edging wallpaper General decorating topics, questions and answers. find help, tips and advice on completing your decorating projects

hi, we had someone in to wallpaper a wall and he used decorators caulk (looks like sealant) to neaten the edges. (doesn't look v. professional but it's done now!)

I have to remove and refit the mantelpiece which has been outlined with the decorators caulk. How do I remove the caulk without damaging the paper because I am not ready to re-paper the wall!

Thanks for reading!
