Wallpaper not sticking properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and dry. Apply more adhesive to the back of the wallpaper and ensure even coverage.
Adhesive drying too quickly.
Ensure the room temperature is not too high. You can add a small amount of water to the adhesive to thin it if needed, but do so sparingly.
Bubbles or air pockets under the wallpaper.
Use a smoothing brush or roller to gently work out the air bubbles from the center to the edges of the wallpaper. Ensure there is even adhesion across the surface.
Adhesive staining the wallpaper.
Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can damage the wallpaper.
