:confused:Need help determining what paste I need to buy to re-affix the wallpaper in the bathroom. I do not know the type of wall paper, or wall.
I am also needing to fix other rooms - seams are seperating.
After removing wallpaper from other rooms, it appears as though we have both plaster and drywall walls, and some used sizing and some did not. Some wallpaper is old and some new.
I have not yet decided whether or to remove the wallpaper in the other rooms, and have decided to leave it there until I decide. But in the meantime, I would like to leave it.
Any suggestions?

A great general wallpaper paste is Professional 880. You can buy it in small quantities at wallpaper/paint stores, otherwise you can get a 5 gal at home improvement stores. You should mix it 50/50 with water before using it. For seam repair view this page (http://www.wallpaperinstaller.com/seam_repair.html).
