However, sometimes our customers encounter issues with their wallpaper not adhering properly. Don&apos;t worry, most of these problems can be easily resolved with a few simple troubleshooting steps.</p><p>Here are the main reasons your Wall Blush peel and stick wallpaper might not be sticking, and how to fix them:</p><h2 id="issue-1-improper-wall-preparation">Issue 1: Improper Wall Preparation</h2><p>The most common reason for your Wall Blush wallpaper not sticking is inadequate wall preparation. Our peel and stick wallpaper requires a clean, smooth, and properly primed surface to adhere effectively.</p><h3 id="troubleshooting-steps">Troubleshooting Steps:</h3><ul><li><strong>Clean Your Walls Thoroughly:</strong>Dust, grime, and grease can create a barrier between the adhesive and your wall.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Before application, wipe down your walls with a damp sponge or cloth using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner or just plain old water. Allow the walls to dry completely (at least 24 hours) before applying your Wall Blush wallpaper.</div></li><li><strong>A Smooth Surface Is Best:&#xA0;</strong>Bumps, textures, or imperfections on your wall can prevent your Wall Blush wallpaper from creating a strong bond.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> For textured walls (like orange peel or knockdown), a skim coat of drywall compound can be used to create a smooth surface. Sand down any raised areas, fill in holes, and repair any cracks.</div></li><li><strong>Prime Your Walls:&#xA0;</strong>Many modern paints, especially those with stain-resistant or low-VOC properties, can interfere with adhesive. Priming creates a consistent, grippy surface for your Wall Blush wallpaper.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Apply a high-quality, oil-based or acrylic-latex primer, specifically designed for wallpaper or problematic surfaces. Allow the primer to cure completely according to the manufacturer&apos;s instructions (often 24-72 hours). Even if your walls are freshly painted, a primer is often recommended as it creates an optimal surface for adhesion for your Wall Blush product.</div></li></ul><h2 id="issue-2-environmental-factors">Issue 2: Environmental Factors</h2><p>Temperature and humidity can significantly impact how well your Wall Blush wallpaper adhesive performs.</p><h3 id="troubleshooting-steps-1">Troubleshooting Steps:</h3><ul><li><strong>Maintain Optimal Room Temperature:&#xA0;</strong>Extreme temperatures can affect the adhesive&apos;s performance.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Ensure your room is between 65-80&#xB0;F (18-27&#xB0;C) during application and for at least 48 hours afterward. Avoid applying your Wall Blush wallpaper in very cold or very hot rooms.</div></li><li><strong>Control Humidity Levels:&#xA0;</strong>High humidity can prevent the adhesive from drying properly, while extremely low humidity can make your Wall Blush wallpaper less pliable.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Ideally, maintain a moderate humidity level (around 30-50%) in your room. If it&apos;s very humid, consider using a dehumidifier. If it&apos;s very dry, a humidifier might help briefly before application.</div></li></ul><h2 id="issue-3-incorrect-application-technique">Issue 3: Incorrect Application Technique</h2><p>The way you apply your Wall Blush wallpaper can also affect its long-term adhesion.</p><h3 id="troubleshooting-steps-2">Troubleshooting Steps:</h3><ul><li><strong>&quot;Peel a Little, Stick a Little&quot;:&#xA0;</strong>Peeling off too much backing at once can lead to misalignment and bubbles, which compromise adhesion.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Start by peeling back only a few inches of the backing paper. Align your Wall Blush panel at the top of your wall, lightly pressing it into place. Gradually peel off more of the backing paper, smoothing the wallpaper down with a smoothing tool (like a felt-edged squeegee) as you go.</div></li><li><strong>Smooth Out Air Bubbles:&#xA0;</strong>Trapped air bubbles reduce contact between the adhesive and the wall.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Work from the center of the panel outwards, using your smoothing tool to gently push out any air bubbles. If a bubble persists, you can carefully lift your Wall Blush wallpaper back to that point and reapply, or use a pin to poke a tiny hole and smooth the air out.</div></li><li><strong>&#xA0;Apply Firm, Even Pressure:&#xA0;</strong>Don&apos;t be afraid to press firmly when smoothing your Wall Blush wallpaper.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Use consistent, firm pressure with your smoothing tool across the entire surface of your Wall Blush wallpaper panel to ensure maximum contact.</div></li><li><strong>Overlap Properly (if applicable):&#xA0;</strong>While many Wall Blush designs are butt-joint, our Peel &amp; Stick requires a slight overlap. Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your Wall Blush product.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> If overlapping is required, ensure you&apos;re following the recommendations precisely to create a seamless and secure join.</div></li></ul><h2 id="issue-4-wall-surface-considerations">Issue 4: Wall Surface Considerations</h2><p>Certain wall surfaces can present challenges for adhesive products.</p><h3 id="troubleshooting-steps-3">Troubleshooting Steps:</h3><ul><li><strong>&quot;Problem&quot; Paint Finishes:&#xA0;</strong>Matte, flat, or highly textured paints can be challenging for adhesive products.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> Always prime over flat or matte paints. For highly textured walls, a skim coat is often necessary. Avoid applying Wall Blush wallpaper to heavily textured surfaces unless explicitly stated as suitable.</div></li><li><strong>Rough or Porous Surfaces:&#xA0;</strong>Walls like unpainted drywall, brick, or concrete are generally not suitable for direct application.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> These surfaces require extensive preparation, including a skim coat, sanding, and multiple layers of primer, to create a smooth, non-porous surface.</div></li><li><strong>Repositioning Effects:&#xA0;</strong>While Wall Blush peel and stick wallpapers are removable, frequent repositioning can reduce the effectiveness of the adhesive over time.<div class="solution"><strong>Solution:</strong> For long-term application, ensure your wall is ideal and try to minimize repositioning once your Wall Blush wallpaper is in place. If you&apos;re frequently repositioning, expect some decrease in stickiness.</div></li></ul><h2 id="what-to-do-if-you-notice-lifting">What to Do If You Notice Lifting</h2><p>If you notice edges lifting or panels detaching after application:</p><ul><li><strong>Gently Re-smooth:</strong> Try pressing the area firmly back down with your smoothing tool.</li><li><strong>Heat Activation (Use with Caution):</strong> For small lifting areas, a hairdryer on a low setting can sometimes reactivate the adhesive. Hold it a few inches away, gently heat the area for a few seconds, and then press firmly. Be careful not to overheat your Wall Blush wallpaper, as this could cause damage.</li><li><strong>Temporary Adhesive Spray (Last Resort):</strong> For persistent lifting in discreet areas, a very light application of a temporary spray adhesive (like a craft spray adhesive) can sometimes help. <strong class="caution">*Always test this in an inconspicuous area first.*</strong></li></ul><p>By following these troubleshooting tips, you can ensure your Wall Blush peel and stick wallpaper project is a success and your beautiful new walls last for years to come!</p></div>
