"Yes it is but only if it's a little bit. If you have some air or any bubbles under wallpaper on the middle of the wall better is change the wallpaper completely or if you have some left wallpaper replace one piece 😉"

"Although its not a perfect remedy. Yes you can soak the paper ends with paste to soften the paper and then re stick your paper down."

"Try brushing some ready mixed wallpaper paste on the wall behind the paper and then using a wet sponge to flatten the wallpaper to the wall. Hope this helps"
