Mending bubbles in wallpaper

When wallpapering sometimes has the problem that form bubbles that have not disappeared even after drying. Especially as a beginner, you often have the problem. So I had to come up with something. It came to me the idea to inject a syringe with glue in the bladder.

Take a "peripheral venous catheter". Best size 14. (2.2 mm outside diameter, 1.7 mm inside diameter). That's in the pharmacy.

For this you take a big syringe. I took a 100 ml syringe.


Now moisten the area with the bubble well, so that the wallpaper is a little softer.

The syringe is raised with glue. Carefully pierce the wallpaper and sharpen the glue in the bladder. Carefully distribute the glue by pressing it with your finger on the outside. Then take a small paint roller and roll the bubble nice and smooth.

Some glue spills out of the hole, this is removed with a damp cloth.

With woodchip you can see nothing after the painting of this repair. But even with wallpapers that are not stitched, you can achieve good results, if you proceed with care.
