REMOVAL AND REINSTALL ORIGINAL WALLPAPER

[LATE BITE]

I HAVE A '01 26' BILLFISHER. THE WALLPAPER WAS LIFTING AT THE SEAMS. I WANTED TO KEEP THE STOCK LOOK TO THE CABIN. I FOUND A VERY SIMULAR WALLPAPER FROM FRAZZEE PAINTS AND WALLPAPER IN SAN DIEGO( 858-626-3600). THE NEW WALLPAPER (#BTX-4030 A ) IS THICKER AND HAS A LITTLE MORE TEXTURE THAN THE ORIGINAL. I PAID A PROFESSIONAL WALLPAPER INSTALLER (DENNIS @ 760-745-4388) TO REMOVE THE OLD AND INSTALL THE NEW. HE CHARGED 500.00 AND DID IT IN ONE DAY. I TOOK OFF EVERYTHING THAT I COULD INCLUDING FRIDGE, CABINETS, ETC. I LEFT THE BREAKER PANELS LOOSE SO HE COULD GO BEHIND THEM. HE USED 6 ROLLS( 3 DOUBLE ROLLS) AND WAS ABLE TO RUN THE WALLPAPER IN ANY DIRECTION SO THAT THE SEAMS ARE IN THE CORNERS. IT WAS A TOTAL SUCCESS AND THE BOAT LOOKS BRAND NEW INSIDE. IT ACTULLY LOOKS BETTER THAN NEW WITH NO SEAMS SHOWING. HE THINKS THE NEW PAPER IS A BETTER AND SHOULD LAST LONGER WITH NO SEAMS TO LIFT ON THE FLAT AREAS. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU GUYS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

Thanks for the info. My wall paper is still nice but the seams are coming undoneI bought some 3M glue but it didn't work good. Any suggestions?

MY WALLPAPER ALSO LOOKED GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE SEAMS. I TRIED WALLPAPER ADHESIVE WITH NO LUCK. SO I DECIDED TO REDO IT. WHEN YOU RUN THE PAPER IN ANY DIRECTION YOU CAN PUT THE SEAMS IN THE CORNERS. WITH NO SEAMS ON THE FLAT AREAS, I THINK IT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE NEW PAPER IN MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. LOOKS AWESOME. HOPE THAT HELPS...
