    Default Wallpaper

    In the daylight, I just noticed the wallpaper in one room is stating to delaminate. About 1/64-1/32" is lifting at the vertical seem.

    The wallpaper is ~16 years old. Is this the beginning of the end or is there another 16+ years of life left?

    High traffic areas such as foyers, hallways and staircases do better with a textured or patterned wallpaper. Plainer, smoother papers will show every little mark, and if they are damaged and need a small repair, will show the repair more than a patterned or textured paper.

    Yes right it is the beginning of the end.
    Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.

    Mix some warm water and Elmer's glue in a cup - should be thinned but not too watery.
    Get a small brush and run the mix down the seam, but have a damp sponge or rag handy to wipe the excess off the surface of the paper.
    Use a flashlight on the side to highlight the seams and gently press them to make sure they're tight and smooth.

    Other than that, I don't know of a better way.
