I am ready to replace the border trim in the bathroom, old stuff peeled off easy, now the problem is how to put the new stuff on. It is vinyl coated prepasted wallpaper. Directions say don't use prepaste on vinyl, but use vinyl glue. I don't want it to fall off, but I also don't want it on so strong that it can't be replaced when it looks shabby like the last stuff.
It will be just above sink across back almost like a backsplash.
Any solutions? Thanks
We replaced the entire section of wallpaper below the medicine cabinet with 4" aluminum wall tile--it really looks nice and no more issues with border peal etc. The tile we bought comes with adhesive on the back and it's been in place for almost three years with no issues.
I like the tile idea, but if you want to put a wallpaper border up go to your local wallpaper/paint store and get wallpaper paste for vinyl to vinyl application. It should still let you take it off at a later date.

Okay, here's the photo of our bathroom backsplash I promised you. The entire project was designed and installed by my wife in our 05 Classic. She bought the aluminum tiles from a home improvement catalog--they come in 4" squares and triangles. The first row is a combination of triangles and squares to cover the complete width of the backsplash. The second row are straight squares trimmed slightly to fill the available space. Between the two roles is 1" AS vinyl trim strip left over from a previous repair job--kind of breaks up the design a bit.
This replaced the original walpaper and border and gives more depth to the appearance. Hope you agree with me that she did a great job with this mod.

The tile does add a nice touch.
Good work,
