We just hung some border and did exactly what the directions stated. The bottom edge of the border is now coming up in quite a few places. I've read this thread quite a bit and now realize that we should of use some paste along with the border's own paste. Oh well, it's that "hind-sight" thing again! What do we do now? I really don't want to remove the border so is there a way to just paste the edges that are coming up? Please help us as we're doing this for the first time and I really thought that this is something that didn't require me to research the "how to" on here. Thankyou and keep up the great work on this site!!!

if it's sticking pretty good except for just those edges, you can leave it up and just get some border adhesive. either squirt some under the loose edges or use a little paint brush to get some glue up under the edge. use a squeegy or smoother to get out any air bubbles, but don't press so hard as to squeegy out all the glue! then you should be fine.
