DIY Fix for wallpaper peeling


This long overdue wallpaper repair ,i have put off again and again. Too busy on weekends, finally last Saturday managed to stop by a curtain/wallpaper shop. Their wallpaper adhesive is the fix to peeled, bubbling and torn wallpapers priced at RM15 each pack. Maybe hardware shop will sell cheaper?

Corner peel, the tear is by curious Baby E. It's an ugly sight in our living room =__=

On small room upstairs. Shop owner says its normal to have peeling from bathroom moisture after a period of time.

Right side of the bathroom door.

Got a RM1.30 brush from MR DIY and a plastic cup cover as mixing container.

This fix is easy and simple like making starch minus the hot water.


1. Pour a little powder into container
2. Add a little water and stir
3. Keep on adding powder/water till you get glue-like texture.
4. Clean the wallpaper surface from dust
5. Apply on both wallpaper & wall.
6. Firmly press wallpaper to wall with used cloth.
7. Clean any excess & check that no bubbles remain under wallpaper.





If you google online you will find tons of complicated information such as cement-mixing like techniques to many others fixes that make your head spin..it's also one of the reasons why i put off the repair work apart from procrastination hehe.

See the result below, turns out quite all right.
