NDBirdman Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Just noticed that the (6 inch) wallpaper border is starting to pull away at the top. When it is the best way to re-attach it to the wall without tape or something that will make a mess of it? 2002 Fifth Avenue RV (RIP) 2015 Ram 3500 Mega-cab DRW(38k miles), 6.7L Cummins Diesel, A668RFE, 3.73, 14,000 GVWR, 5,630 Payload, 27,300 GCWR, 18,460 Max Trailer Weight Rating(For Sale) , living in the frigid north, ND.

sandsys Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I would look at both poster tape and at rubber cement. Both of those are removable if you don't like the finished look.

Kirk W Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Is this a border that came with the RV or one that you applied later? If like what Pam used in our kitchen you just dampen it and put it into places as it has glue on it. If that is what yours is I would try dampening it first. If not then I would try to find some glue of similar type as it will need to be compatible with the existing adhesive. While you might get rubber cement to hold it, if you ever remove the border it will be difficult to remove all of your old glue. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

My experience with rubber cement is once you get a bit of an edge lifted the rest just rolls right up. For years my mom and I used rubber cement to hold the exterior and interior of leather wallets in place while we laced the edges. If we didn't get the two pieces lined up just right we could peel them apart and try again. Plus, you know how your credit cards come lightly attached to a piece of thick paper? That's rubber cement. It just rolls right off if you decide to remove it before recycling the paper.

This is factory border, it runs all through the camper. I will try to re-wet it and see if it sticks. If not, I will try the glue-stick.

sandsys Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I hope the wet system works for you. If not, be careful with the glue stick. It is easy to get bumps so be sure you smooth them all out before you put the paper back up.

Randyretired Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 When a little of the border came loose in our RV we used wall paper glue. Dabbed a little on a paint brush and used a damp rag to wipe off the excess. Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryneal Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thin layer of Elmer's Glue. Work out air bubbles and place a small piece of blue painters tape to hold till dry. It won't come back down. Jerry and Joan 2014 Ford F350 with 6.7 turbo, TrailerSaver 2014 40' Heartland Gateway Fifth wheel iLoveRVlife.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
