Use a putty knife to gently lift up the seam to expose a section of wallpaper.
Step 3: Apply the adhesive
Apply a small amount of adhesive along the exposed loose seam. Allow the adhesive to dry according to package instructions.
Use a small paintbrush to evenly apply the adhesive along the entire seam.
