Bubbles on wallpaper. Why do they appear after sticking? Main reasons

  1. It is possible that the glue you got is of poor quality , or it does not fit your type of wallpaper. So , for example , in its density, the glue may not match the wallpaper. It also happens that you bought the glue that you need , but prepared it incorrectly , that is, not according to the instructions. If you have bubbles on non-woven wallpaper , then it is quite possible that the gluing was done incorrectly. When sticking this type of wallpaper , you should not apply glue too intensively , both on the wallpaper itself and on the walls.
  2. Glue on any type of wallpaper , you need to apply only evenly. If you smeared the wallpaper with glue , to glue it until it dries.

But , in this case, the paper shrinks a lot , displacing the air , , we again get bubbles.
  3. Elementary drafts in the room , during the wallpapering procedure , can also “inflate” your wallpaper on the wall.
