Apply your wallpaper border to your wall and smooth flat with a wallpaper hanging brush, remove any excess adhesive immediately with a clean damp cloth.

Check the position is level before moving on to the next wall or length.

No, wallpaper paste will not adhere a border to any vinyl surface (this includes vinyl wallpaper or painted surfaces such as vinyl matt, soft sheen or silk).

Wallpaper paste requires the surface to be porous and absorbent which aids a slow drying process maintaining tension as wallpaper dries out from the joint to the centre of each length.

If you choose to try wallpaper paste in these circumstances it will simply curl at the edges as the adhesive dries and possibly fall down.

A vinyl-to-vinyl border and overlap adhesive is required to permanently adhere a wallpaper border to a (non-porous) wallpapered or painted surface. View all of our adhesives, including border adhesive here.

It is highly recommended that you use vinyl-to-vinyl border and overlap adhesive to stick wallpaper borders to walls, wallpaper or painted surfaces.
