Q I have several noticeable bubbles in my wallpaper. How can I get rid of them?

Trent Downing, Bethesda, MD

A Fix the bubbles by cutting them with a razor knife. A small slit is all that’s needed. Then insert the end of a glue applicator in the slit and squeeze in a little adhesive (see photo).

Wipe away excessive adhesive with a damp sponge and press the wallpaper against the wall to force out the air, using a plastic straightedge. The glue applicators and proper adhesive are available at paint stores and home centers for less than $10.
