What is the best way to hang prepasted vinyl border? I am hanging it in the bathroom. Someone told me vinyl would be better in a bathroom.

this is what I do when hanging border...
first find somewhere you can roll the whole roll of border out or a least half of it{a kitchen counter is good because you can wipe it down easily and since the roll has only 15 feet in it you do not need a lot of area]
2nd most directions say just run it threw water but if you want it to stay up,try this...get a paint brush and buy a small can of wallpaper paste,then saturate the brush in water then dip it in the paste then apply it to the border being your you liberally get it everywhere,especially the edges....
3rd you book or fold it into 2 halves where they meet in the middle,then fold and fold again until you have the border about the size and look of a book
4th start in the least noticeable corner and start hanging it...it is much easier if you have someone holding the rest of your border while you hang...
all in all its not hard just takes a little patience...........

ONE: buy some wallpaper primer to put on the wall FIRST or you will have to live with that border for ages or spend days removing it. THis will also make it easier to make any adjustments you need to get it straight.
There are instructions with it.)wet times vary by paper type and brand) Be sure to measure as regular intervals, from the floor to the bottom of where you want the border to go, so you can keep it level.

Vinyl.
You can follow the ceiling. Hope it is straight.
You can check it by striking a chalk line
