  • There is nothing I hate more than seeing air bubbles in wallpaper. It ruins the look of the entire wall. This restaurant called me out to fix air bubbles in a wall in which a previous installer used too much glue.

    4 years later and here I am in the place right now in which I did this repair back in 2017: Terragaucha Restaurant, Tampa, Florida. Never did I realize the video would have 55,000 views one day. Thanks for the memories.

    Spencer, I’ve watched all of your videos. I’m trying to figure out how to prepare my RV walls that have bubbled up and delaminated from the particle board substrate. I’m wondering if I should remove the paper and put on a skim coat or if I should just try to re-adhere the wallpaper to the wallboard. What is the best way to handle this situation. How do you think I should handle this problem? Thank you, I truly appreciate all of the information you’ve given.

      This is a construction-grade heat gun. I purchased it at harbour freight. I would employ this technique in the middle of a wall as well. If that did not work, I might simply penetrated with an inch-long cut with a sharp razor.

    Hey Spencer, I know this video is a few years old, but hopefully you see this :)
    So I'm decorating (first time ever) with that being said I'm quite a clutsy type, rather than pasting the wallpaper I decided to paste the wall, simply because I didn't own a pasting table or a surface long enough and knowing my luck I'd ruin the paper 🙃😂
    Annnndd my wallpaper unfortunately has a lot of bubbles at a hefy size, can I fix this without having to redo everythaanngg

    • @spencercolgan

      It happened because you didn’t let the paper expand by pasting the paper. It’s probably ruined. I’m sorry.

      No. Get a single edge, slice open wallpaper at EDGE OF bubble, insert paste with thin brush. Palm of your hand….push into it, wipe clean with sponge. Repaint 24 later. If visible! You’re done.

    HI Spencer, great work!!! I lined a few walls, and after applying the first few sheets of expensive textured paper large bubbles formed in the lining paper and still there today. I'm wondering whether to just remove the existing lining paper before applying the next lot of paper? Or is there a way I can ensure it doesn't happen? Would really appreciate your expert opinion.

      Excellent question - I did not wallpaper this - please don’t be so critical without knowing the facts - I did not wallpaper this but I was asked to fix the bubble after the Wallpaper Hanger left the bubble in the wall the previous day - I was wallpapering a special wolf Gordon Wallpaper across the other side of the restaurant where this mistake took place.
