Wallpaper paste marks?

Posted by Robert Byrne, on
I have wallpaper paste marks showing through from previous decorator, could it be mould or damp?

Hi Robert This is likely to be simply where the decorator has missed wiping paste from the surface after hanging. The paste dries onto the surface it sits on causing the defect. (Flaking paint along ceiling lines, or shiney areas on the face of the paper) Hope this helps Paul
