Hi
Can any one help, I purchased online some 'self adhesive' wallpaper border. We put it up on the Monday night and at the time we didnt think it was very sticky, but we gave it a could press on and it seemed ok. Until the next morning when half of it was hanging off the wall !!
I keep pressing it back but it just keeps coming away, walls are clean dry and sound, so it must be the border.
Does anyone know what are my rights are ? as surely this is not 'fit for purpose'
any help ? thanks

Did you follow the instructions? Most self adhesive borders advise to go over the border with a warm hairdryer to activate the adhesive.0 -
hi yes followed instructions it didnt say anything about a hairdryer though.0

Your best bet is to take it back to the store where it was purchased, along with proof of purchase, and ask for a refund as the product is faulty.0

What sort of surface is it being stuck to? We had difficulty sticking Disney images to a wall as the paint was vinyl.0

It might be old stock. Just like self adhesive envelopes lose their stickiness after a while0
