Blisters in newly hung wallpaper
Posted: Sun Feb 06, 2011 9:33 am
About a week ago I hung a Homebase own brand wallpaper in my living room. In the instructions that came with the wallpaper it said that blisters may appear after hanging but these would disappear as the paper dried out. They did appear and most did disappear.....but some remain. How do I get rid of them. They are mostly quite narrow 2-3" blisters in patches - some areas are completely clear.
I thought of trying a steam stripper to "re-activate" the paste and soften the paper - and then try to smooth the blisters - will this work?
