Reply #1 - Mar 5^th, 2009, 10:16pm I have never seen border adhesive but it sounds like it is something the likes of Homebase and B&Q have made up so they can charge more for it? Hopefully one of the decorators will come along and set the record straight...

Reply #2 - Mar 5^th, 2009, 10:22pm If it is a paper border then wallpaper paste is ok, but I always use proper border adhesive to be safe. Remember vinyl does not stick to vinyl (if you have to overlap in the corners) you have to use border adhesive or 'vinyl overlap.'

Reply #4 - Mar 6^th, 2009, 5:09pm What sort of emulsion is on the wall? Check it's washable otherwise when you wash off the excess paste that's squeezed out you might have probs. I put up borders in my childrens nursery many years ago. I made a special trip out to buy paste only to discover the border it was self adhesive and had a peel off wax paper backing. Duh.
