How to fix it?

To fix the area damaged by the paper that has peeled off, you will need to remove the unsightly material and, after that, follow a simple step by step. See more.

1. Unpeel only the first half of the panel that way you do not lose all the work with the alignment you have already done.

But before unpeeling downwards the panel you will need to unpeel the vertical part of the panel that is overlapping the first panel (the one you are trying to fix the bubbling issue). See photo 1 for your reference.  Please note you will peel only the overlap part of it just enough so you can peel down the panel you are trying to fix it.  

2. Start sticking back to the wall from the center to the top using your wallpaper squeegee to press the wallpaper center outwards. 

3. Repeat the process until you get all the way to the top of the wall making sure you are formally pressing the wallpaper but not stretching to make it match. If you stretch the material you may cause bubbles to occur.  

4.  Repeat this same process to do the other half of the panel therefore this time from the center downwards to the bottom of the wall.

5. Now you can stick back on the overlapping part of panel two that you had originally removed to unpeel. You can repeat the same process with any other panels that have bubbles issues.

Please note if only a certain stop has the bubble you can just unpeel half of the wallpaper to release that bubble and do not need to worry about doing the other half if there are no bubbles.
