Hi We have a few wallpaper seams (vinyl paper) that are lifting slightly -it's nothing major like paper peeling but what is the best way to stick these down invisibly - any thoughts or recommended products please

Shure stick, I think it's called. From hardware or decorating shop.
Or just use no more gaps. That's what painters would use.

thanks do you think the no more gaps will show on the surface if some oozes out?

No More Gaps is not an adhesive,it is a flexible filler,as stated above use P.V.A. glue,wipe off any excess with a damp cloth.

Selleys market a version of their PVA glue called STIK-BACK, specifically for sticking wall paper back on after it has lifted.

A tip that a paperhanger gave me was to dampen the paper, first either with a sponge or spray bottle. Then use pva glue and wipe off excess that oozes. That way the paper will not spring back from the gib. Hope this helps.

It works fine as an adhesive. Because it is thicker than PVA, it will hold down curled edges better. Painters use it all the time when painting over tired wallpaper. Can be wiped off with a damp cloth if it oozes out.
PVA is fine as well. Similar to Shur Stik. Wipe off excess with a damp cloth.
