Then, how to properly glue the wallpaper? In the corners it is necessary to make an overlap. To do this, measure the distance from the edge of the pasted strip to the corner and add one or two centimeters to the bend. We take a dry strip and cut it along so that the width of one part is equal to the value obtained. We glue this part, carefully ironing the corner with a rag. If the wallpaper is too wrinkled, use a clerical knife and cut it. Now the bent part is properly glued with glue and overlay the second part of the strip so that the edge passes strictly vertically. Remove excess glue. Now you know how to properly glue the wallpaper in the corners, do it in the rest of the room. And do not forget that when the wallpaper is pasted, a draft is unacceptable, otherwise the strips can simply fall off.
