your just magic thank you so much ...its an art

Love your videos, have learnt alot about wallpapering, still struggle around windows but getting better at it

Most helpful thank you👏. I have corners just like this to do. And, first, I'll have to watch again all of your videos🤷‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Thank you. You saved my day.

Lol you had me for a minute with the como estas señores😁😁😁

Nice!

Thank you Sr

You should do a disc on which you can put on a dvd so people could buy and watch with each individual tasks like in a menu of some kind and as you would own the copyright you can sell it on Amazon or auction sites I find your videos easy to follow and many would appreciate you sharing your professionalism on a larger scale 👍

I been watching a few of your videos and have tried a few of your professional work and it's makes such a difference thanks for the excellent videos ,do you have any videos on rough skirting boards to get them looking good but without lots of labor involved thanks tom UK

Never had to use heat on any external corner even when the corner is out of plumb.your stretching the paper which isnt naturally meant to stretch.if you did this with a patterned paper you would lose your plumbed line and the pattern

@@spencercolgan hi Spencer.and good day to you.i ve been tampering with different methods over the years or should I say products and although your heat applying technique seems to do the trick for you but only really on non patterned contract vinyl it seems. I ve been using ever build contact adhesive and bostick adhesive but you have to work quite fast so just naturally stretching the paper round the corners seems to work for me.not done a great deal of wide vinyl hanging this year but I would say I'm very competent in splicing my seems so I tent to just take my paper round the corners by no more than 30 mm and tidy that corned up.i ve been using the surgical scarpul blade for thick vinyl.very very sharp and very neat and you dont need to change the blades as often as Stanley knifes.good to see you take pride in your work tho.over in England we have to focus on time aswell as quality to earn a decent living wage I'm affraid so we always have to come up with quick ways of doing things

Hello Spencer. Can you fix Buble corner with a heat gun?

Love your videos!!!! 👍 My hubby and I own our own wallpaper business in Va and you are super helpful! I've just got a question if you have the time. I've seen other videos that show using two spreaders coming down to crease the corner... Have you had experience with that and still prefer the heat gun technique? What are your thoughts, pros, cons of each technique?

@spencercolgan

Two smoothers work great but and I prefer 2 then just 1. But you need heat too Use 2 plus heat

well you've cheered my Sunday morning up in a world of uncertainty lol Would have liked to have seen. 1. it when it was finished. 2. how plumb that joint was for the next length butting up to it.. or is it contract ad a cut through paper. 3. do you do that with 'papers' and with a pattern. I'm the UK.... and having been to P&D college it's not something taught to go around in one on big returns, due to the problems you explained. It's a thing alot of DIYers do and find they get the bubble corners, like internals, where they go around in one.. and get a caravan bubble corner too. On externals that you can't rely on being true, I'd cut down a length, bring it around by about 1/4" and then with the off cut; you re hang and plumb it to the wall, overlapping onto that 1/4" corner over lap, keeping a fraction from the actual corner.... as not to give a raw edge that could get damaged by people brushing against it. If you have old houses or bad plastering you may be having to re adjust and trim off your papers accordingly.. which can lose a bit of pattern, but as long as you try and match it the best you can at eye level, you can't do anymore. Is that something you do over there?

How would you handle an outside corner with natural cork wallpaper. Be watched all your cork videos but you didn’t have any outside corners.

Do you think you could wallpaper a pair of jeans onto the wall?

How about wallpapering an outside corner with REGULAR type wallpaper and not heavy vinyl? I can get it tight but do you overlap and double cut?

Stephanie, you extend your wallpaper approximately 2 inches past the centre of the curve; then, you use a very tacky wallpaper adhesive… I recommend Roman 535 and then bend the wallpaper around the curve; let it dry in order to keep the wallpaper attached to the rounded curve, I would like you to use tape on the very edge of the wallpaper in order to keep your wallpaper against the curve; do not put the adhesive under the entire access because of a stick you just want to put the paste underneath the wallpaper where it will meet approximately half of the curve; you can also use pushpins for the wallpaper if you cannot use adhesive; then with a laser level or another levelling device, you will make a plumbline showing you what is straight and you will do that right in the centre of your curve; using a straight edge, against your laser level or your level, you now cut straight down against your straight edge that will be guided either by your laser level, or by your level.

What if you have textured wallpaper? Wouldn't the pattern stretch? Thanks.

Heating it up just makes it conform to the corner. there’s another way you can do it. you can take too smoother and make the friction by rubbing them up and down the corner over the wall; if it has texture, you may stretch it, but you would not do that if it had texture

if you dont have a match to make fit its ok but if you do use a more liquid adhesive so you can work with it before it sets ... because in construction walls are rarely 90 degrees on point you always have to cheat ...

I don’t use a heat gun. I have found that using steamer works

i dont like that technique because you might stretch the vinnyl inequally... but the heat gun is necessary with products like mylard to turn corners...

Bicycle glue is good

Try prepping the external angles before hanging,just a thought if it doesnt behave splice into the internal corner ccant be arsed with this bs😂
