The wallpaper has been up now for about 8 weeks. It is really good quality but bubbled shortly after. Will I need to replace the piece or does anyone have any suggestions to get rid of them?

Put a little slit in the paper with a paper knife.....put a little wallpaper paste on a sponge and work it in to the slit....press down and whipe off excess paste!

My dad used to tell me that if I had any bubbles in wallpaper, prick them with a pin and force the air out, but this was for when the paper was wet, so that the adhesive would still stick. Not sure if it works when the paper's dry. Good luck.

You can cut a small slit in the bubbles with a stanley knife, then inject wallpaper paste. Smooth it down and it should go away. If not, replace the strip.

Providing you put plenty of paste on the paper - use a damp sponge to allow the moisture to soak into the paper. Use a pin and put a couple of small holes into the bubbled area, then smooth out gently to force any air out - that should do it!

Get a pin and put a small prick in the surface then wash over with a damp sponge or cloth working from the outside of the bubble. Works for me.

carefully cut a x in the paper then peal back andput wallpaper paste under it smooth down and make sure there are no bubbles just be very careful or buy a large picture to cover it

Slit it with a razor blade (careful!) and then work some paste in from each side. Altenatively, inject paste (mixed weak, so it flows better) with a hypodermic syringe - obtainable from any pharmacy. If the paper is patterned, cut (or jab) along the edge of a feature of the pattern, so the damage won't show so much.

moisten &carefully make a small cross cut with a very sharp blade (a bluntish one may pull & rip the paper). Smooth out with a sponge, allow to dry & hey presto! If it is a very small bubble you may get away with just piercing with a pin. Good luck

If you have a patterned wallpaper use a stanley knife blade and cut it as much as possible along the pattern, a wedge shape cut, this will camouflage the join when you stick it back. I generally use border adhesive for this purpose, it sticks quicker and better, Good luck.

Wipe over the top with a damp sponge. This should rectify the problem!
