Just been to b&q and told them John sent me !!!!!! Was going to take all the paper off because mine was really bad and it's worked a treat can't see the joins now. 😀

I loved your video. The camera guy has a delightful humor and speaker was so matter of factly confident. I smiled the whole time!

Gentlemen, thank you very much for showing me this technique. I had a seam when I reglued wallpaper after a water leak caused it to separate from the sheetrock. I took a sample of the wallpaper to Lowes and they did a computer match which averaged the colors. As you suggested I focused the darker shades. I'm very pleased with the result. Had I not seen your video I was probably going to strip off the wallpaper and texture and paint the walls. This technique hid the seam very well so that it is not at all noticeable. You saved me a ton of work!

To put it short- apply (color scanned) paint to the problematic area, instantly brush the area off with a clean wet sponge and go over the area with a clean tissue. Definitely worth a watch for a clear understanding. That said, I will now go try to fix my gaps. Thank you!

Best tip on youtube, i could not believe how well it works, just takes the eye away from the problem

Brilliant thank you! Just wallpapered my bedroom today and didn’t do a bad job, looks very neat until this happened in two places to the paper, now I know how to fix it. Thanks again!

Wow! So glad I saw this. Was going to do this a few weeks ago as my walls show through orange on the seams a tiny bit so annoying……your video gives me the confidence to try this now! Thank you!

I knew KZfaq wouldn’t fail me. Thank you! I hope it works with lighter paper as well. 🤞🏾

Brilliant so glad I watched this, worked a treat.

I put a black wallapaper on last year, I used a black dry wipe pen to hide the edges. I wiped off any excess, worked very well

AWESOME TIP!! A common problem solved!! Thank you very much.

Magic! I have white vinyl paintable wallpaper - that the seams showed overnight. White paint it is ! Thank you so much.

You colour the edges before you roll out the paper. It's not usually the wall behind you can see, it's the white backing of the paper.

To be honest, The walls with a white background can show white lines when joining... The problem I normally have is that, lot of wall papers today never join together the way they should.. Good video & thanks for the tips.. 👍

Just tried this and it worked brilliantly for me. Many thanks

Actually works, all good, glad I saw this video

YOU LEGEND! Thankyou so much!

How amazeing thank you x

Will try teally hope it works on my wallpaper.Thanks for the tip

This is brilliant, and this man is one of the best “explainers” on KZfaq. 👍🏾

Brilliant stuff - did you dip the sponge in water first? - great job thank you -

Thank for advise, the same has happened to us, going to try this! 👍

thank you Daniel, very cool

Helps if you get the right colour!

when putting wallpaper use brush side to side instead of downwards motion . doing it down stretches wallpaper .

Can also colour the edge of the wallpaper as it's rolled up

You could colour the ends of the rolls with chalk of a similar colour before hanging the paper .Dark coloured papers on white back grounds are a pain. But your tip is good to deal with paper thats hung and dried out.

Ok good tips but I will tell you simple way and save you a lot of bother .get your sample pot as you said then take your unopened wallpaper and only open at ends then sponge the paint lightly onto both ends as it is still tightly rolled inside it won’t creep onto wallpaper then just let it dry completely and you go to wall paper your edge will all be grey in your case and seem won’t be white .ive Been a decorator 30 years and it works for me hope it helps you

Thank you. I've just wallpaper my first wall and the seams look awful was about to rip it down haha I'll give this ago first ha

Amazing! Thanks

Geniuses! This will be by weekend repair job. Hehe he stopped me from bringing out my markers

It's your soaking times always read the instructions Your supposed to use chalk its easier to wipe off

A fine line brush would be better, overspreaded with finger, also no sponge it spreads the colour too much a damp cloth and dab only

Camera guy definitely used to film late 90 Ben Dover video s

I have to say that I tried this and was not too happy with the result. Immediately after it was done it looks invisible, but when the light direction changed it was possible to see a difference in reflection where the paint had been vs the rest of the wallpaper. It's a very slight effect, but once I'd seen it my eye kept being drawn to it. This was in my living room and I just hated the thought of having to eye that defect for the next twenty years. So in the end the only permanent cure was a second layer of the same wallpaper with the seams staggered with respect to the first. Luckily I had bought too much wallpaper and the really dark stuff was only on one wall.

Good video thanks.

Thanks mate you've saved me having to redo all the wallpaper.

Have you tried just colouring the ends of the rolls before hanging .

Is this Calico texture fabric effect wallpaper in black & silver?

Just seen this and the obvious mistake is over soaking the paper. 10 mins is too long. Soaking for too long causes the paper to over expand as it absorbs the paste. You then get subsequent overshrinkage as it dries. The other issue is that oversoaked paper stretches very easily as you move it in to place which also causes gaps as it dries. I would always recommend lining paper as this helps and only let paper soak for more than a few minutes if you need the paper to be more pliable, when papering around tricky features etc. Last thing make sure heating is off in room while paper dries. Decorator 15+ years ^^This is a great tip however if you do end up with gaps

mmmmm might try it ,thanx

Tip of the day. With dark grey paper charcoal the edge on the roll before you measure and cut to size. Both ends of the roll so the edge of every length is charcoal grey. Professional way. 👍🏼

Great 🎉

Good, rec'd by youtube! as I have 'central heating' paper seam gaps quite strong! however, some say doesn't work well on white/pale colors. or use chalk, etc. in comments. good to know, Ihough u need a mike for this video as hard to hear u!

I have gaps

Is that just matt emulsion you use?

Our factory sells seamless wallpaper,a piece of cloth covered the whole wall.Don't worry about it

I’ve been let out the dog house thanks!!! 🙌🏻

Minute 3:00 for the meat of it! Thank you for sharing awesome!

As the light shines in at different times of the day at certaine angles youd still see the joines due to the gaps . It hasnt gone its coverd . Always line the wall first before papering as this would of held the paper in place during the drying stages. Also ready mix paste is probley the best to use here too . 12 pound a roll is very cheap paper imo .

Paint that colour behind each length hung , mark out where each length will Hang , strike a line paint line as a plumb line would go , don’t do it over paper with sponge, when it’s dried see all swaging marks where the paper as been filled up , and marked , 👍 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 in the end use ready mixed adhesive with seam roller don’t under soak they’ll never open up , 😜

Get a blackout curtain and cool the room down Get it right first time

Don't do this! It will show when it dries!!

Any pictures of it when it is finished and dried? Lol...

Can

Lining paper would stop shrinkage crossline then next day hang your paper no shrinkage at all. For sake of all that hassle

Try a cotton bud ! 😁✌️🇬🇧

What you are doing you will This colour of the paper you should of sized the wall first with the paste Then this would never of happened it’s got nothing to do with the heat you have probably use the wrong paste

Still stupidly expensive valspar paint

To prevent this shrinkage , use a clay based adheshive rather than starch, based, thanks to Spencer Colgan for this tip.

God sake he goes on and on just get on with it and tell us

No buddy. Stay away from wallpaper.

Oh dear those horrific stains all over the wall paper

Why would you put wallpaper on the wall in first place

I wish the Camera man would just stay quite, so irritating.

🤣🤣12 quid a roll is about as cheap as you can get water on a dry surface you should be doing all the !wall did you line the wall ???

0:40 ~ F*CK PAPER ????

glad he’s not decorating my house

Get to the point!! So much wittering on!! 😡

This bloke is mad how is that ever going to work ?

You two need to get out more 😂

Too much talk

Double commenting is so irritating to listen to

Absolutely rubbish! You should have applied 1200 grade lining paper which would eliminate the problem of shrinkage. Also soaking time was wrong and why would you want to put paint over a pre finished wallpapers?
