When you’re up against trim or other obstacles, you’ll need to make a relief cut before trimming the paper.

It’s a lot easier to clean up the paste before it has fully cured, so Bob sponges off every panel with warm water as he goes. Remember to wipe away any excess adhesive squeezed out when the wallpaper is pressed back into place.
