Peeling wallpaper
Discussion
Got some bits of wallpaper curling up at the edges and round an archway where it keeps getting caught pulled away from the wall. I've got some wallpaper repair stuff, but it doesn't hold. I've tried masking tape to hold the paper flat but again it just curls up 
I'm reluctant to use an impack adhesive so I thought I'd ask here first 
Any ideas?

A bit drastic I know, but have you considered taking all of the wallpaper off and painting the wall instead? I say this because that is what I do now, used to have wallpaper, and it cost a fortune, but even if done professionally, some areas (especially by heat/cold) seem to have a shelf life of no more than two years!
Could you not 'tack' the offending curled edges down, for the intrim?

Can't tack the edges - if you think of an arch way, where the inner bit is painted, the two outside edges (two roooms) have wallpaper and all round the edge its coming away. Can't find edging material either

wet it with wall paper paste first son it plyable
then stick down with that thick boarder paste or the thick white wallpaer edge glue
Actually thats a good point ! Think that will work on the big bits, I'm not so sure on the little edge bits though - evostick may be the answer still...
