This is very very true! I’ve been a hanger for nine years and the reason you don’t cut into plasterboard (what we call the wall substrate over here in Australia) is because as the glue behind the wallpaper dries, the wallpaper shrinks and creates a lot of surface tension. This is why you usually see seams lifting. Not because of lack of glue which is what most people think and then they stupidly apply pva or gorilla glue to all their seams. Don’t do it! It is a total nightmare when you want to remove the wallpaper. As in, don’t even bother and just replace the walls altogether!
Epic oops..... Dude, you have to cut with a angle not exceeding 28 degrees with 75percent pressure. This is so you go all the way through and use as much of the cutting blade edge as possible . I am a specialist paper hanger from London apprentice trained from 17 years old, I am now 60
Definitely do not do this people. Do not double cut. The most important thing when wallpapering is to prepare your walls properly. Make sure you use the appropriate primer. This will stop your wall paper from shrinking and those gaps from appearing.
I appreciate how much effort you put into these videos.
Great mural and video clip, hats off to you for showing your mistake and also showing how you corrected it , respect 😉😊
Great video. Try using an Olfa knife and blades if you can get them in the US.
This was exactly what I was looking for.
With those colors and with the angle of the camera, it’s hard to see where you did the first cut
I’ve been waiting for this kind of content, awesome!
Going to try this out for sure.
Just saw your video, wow a real pro great job!
This vid should be labeled part two to this mural
So do you also cut into the paper that’s staying as well but just pull what’s overlapped?
Yes, cut through both layers... but do not cut into the wall as it will leave a place for air to be trapped, eventually seam fails.
Great video, what's the name of the straight edge you're using?
These are great! Very helpful. Would love to see something on Corners or weird angles... because i have those LOL
Look up spencer colgan #spencercolganiswallpaper he’s fab at teaching and really informative
May I ask where you purchased your straight edge??
Awesome. Where do I buy that straight edge? Thanks😀
The panels were not perfectly matched...is that normal?
ha ha NO !!!!!!!!!!
wow cool stuff
I would use a bigger blade and give more purchase to the double cut , great Job cutting down the line for second time 😁👍
If wallpapers & murals were made correctly there would be no need for double cutting. It’s a BIG no no to cut into the gib board

V useful video but the design doesn't line up perfectly especially at the bottom :)

What would happen if you cut the wall, and how would you fix it before it fails?
@@bregirlt2009 Do you mean if you cut the paper layer in the dry wall down to the gypsum?
@@Anton-du-Fleur yes
You need to prime under the seam
You dulled your blade when you cut over the metal box.That is why you failed to cut through both layers.
FYI a single edge blade works best when double cutting. It is easy to stick into the drywall while you reposition... A LoveSupreme
He is using a single edge blade.
2:40 ~ Bigtime "F" up.
😂
Haha yeah done that before but we learn.

you say “find your edge” …which edge.

I just do not understand this at all!
Wtf is he on about? No idea what just happened
Yes now do that with a sisal grasscloth where you cannot have paste on the surface
I appreciate how much effort you put into these videos.
