How to Seal Wallpaper Seams

Loose wallpaper seams can lead to damaged wallpaper if left unresolved. Seams pull apart over time as the wallpaper glue ages. The seam can be repaired by the do-it-yourself homeowner using a seam sealer. The seam sealer will adhere the loosened seams to the wall like new. As soon as you notice a loosening seam, it is important to repair it to avoid tears in the wallpaper.
