How To Join Difficult Wallpaper Seams - Spencer Colgan

[@thegretnaexperiment2.021]

Great tip! I’ve had some difficulty with blending the seams

[@earthtrekker1]

I've used that paper, total shyte from china, best to double paste both wall and paper, or just do what I do now, turn down those jobs, not worth the hassle and high blood pressure from trying to get it right, you did well to get them seams perfect, good job

[@spencercolgan]

Yes sir! Agree completely.

[@TineLaframboise]

I always look forward to your videos.

[@SloaneWhitaker-d9t]

Thanks for the tips-super useful.

[@mattgloss8580]

Top tip Spencer, thank you for sharing.

[@daryldavis1442]

These videos are very much appreciated 🙏🏽

[@Martelless-Offical]

I had always paste the walls and the paper, but couldn't figure out why I was getting some seams seamless and others was showing tha ks again for sharing your a blessing x

[@mikcall54]

I love paste the wall style because it's alot less messy especially if you do not have the space to layout the paper to roll the glue on the paper first, but this is a good tip.

[@ambientsoda106]

How to gaps appearing...I wall papers and pressed the paper in against each other to then fund gaps appeared after the paper dried.

[@Martelless-Offical]

Brilliant, I didn't no that, no more mess ups and waste of paper for me now thank you Spencer

[@spencercolgan]

What if you wet the backing of the paper and then hang the paper? In the UK we generally use that method with wide-width vinyl

[@spencercolgan]

Thank you very much for this response; please tell me how this technique works out… Let me challenge you… If you put glue on the back of the wallpaper, isn’t that the same thing as wetting it? Doesn’t the wetness in the glue serve the same purpose? Or do you wet the back of the wall covering with water, wait a little time and then apply the glue to the back of the wallcovering?

[@jordan5869]

Spencer Colgan Wallpaper & Painting with this method when you wet the backing of the paper with water you’re allowing the paper to expand before you put it on the wall and it allows you to roll up the sheet once it’s booked, then roll it down the wall making it easier to butt up the sheets and because it’s been soaked with water it doesn’t absorb as much of the paste on the wall giving you more slip with the paper, however this only works with paper backed wall coverings but this is how I’ve hung wide width vinyl previously so it might be worth a try with standard vinyl papers

[@spencercolgan]

PIQUE you said. “ it allows you to roll up the sheet once it’s booked...” After you wet it, with your method, what do you do? Do you glue it immediately thereafter? Or, do you roll it up wet. Let it soak... and e land, then glue it. ? Please explain

[@Gomethog]

What kind of glue do you use for this application? I just hung wallpaper for the first time and had this problem but I could not get the paper to slide hardly at all. I used Roman’s paste from big box store.

[@spencercolgan]

You definitely used the wrong glue sir! The box stores only sell border adhesive. You needed heavy duty clear strippable glue! Dynamite 234.

[@schillakonsultwallpaper]

I will advise you soak the wallpaper and let it expand first. Waiting time of 10mins for the wallpaper to soak and dry before you start installing.

[@colliedogjoy]

Top tip, Spencer. I have been called back to a vinyl wall that apparently the seams have opened up.. not sure what I'm going to be able to do. Did you ever come across that? I don't want to be splicing in full drops and am hoping it can be heated and stretched maybe, or I paint the seams.. Ugh!

[@spencercolgan]

Yes. If vinyl, be very careful and heated up from the scene and 4 inches away but not to make it shiny; not too much heat and then was a very thin smoother, push towards the seam.

[@colliedogjoy]

Thanks Mr - Fingers crossed! Will let you know how it goes. Appreciate your response - and all you do.

[@rogeliovazquez8087]

@@spencercolgan whats type of smoother are you using?? I do have an exact smoother here in México. And I wasnt sure how yo use It With the TAG facing Down?? Or facing up....thanks

[@danchilds5618]

Can you wet the backing with water,book it unpasted and let it expand before you paste the wall and hang it?

[@spencercolgan]

Love that suggestion Dan. Have you ever done that?

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Ohh there’s a thought. Anyone done this?

[@Nikki_Kerr]

Can you just paste the paper as normal? Sorry if I sound naive but I'm old fashioned and wondered if you could just treat it like normal paper? If not why? Thank you.

[@emiliastefan230]

Wow great job thanks for showing us I can’t wait for my wallpaper same as yours 😍

[@NoneOfYourBusiness961]

The only advantage to paste the wall papers is that there's no soaking times. I still use a pasting table.

[@sarahjolabrecque2208]

I hope you see this message....I have a wallpaper that is so fragile if you touch the shell to much the flocked pattern comes off

[@Magelia]

welp, I won't be doing wallpaper with that texture. That sound is one that literally incapacitates me. I legitimately writhe from it. sigh.

looks like a real ball ache...

[@user-cb2dm7mr1t]

How many times do you need to say the same thing over and over and over m8 we get the point 🤔!!!!

[@spencercolgan]

I have a defect In my cerebellum. Consequently, my voice and short term memory are affected whereby I repeat myself often. Because I have a defect in the anterior part of the cerebellum, I unnecessarily repeat myself saying sometimes the same thing In perhaps different ways. I’m so sorry. My brain is slightly abnormal...the cerebelllum where short term memory is controlled, sometimes lends itself to my repeating myself over and over. But that hasn’t been happening lately. I apologize.
