I have never had a problem with contact paper sticking. What surface are you having difficulty with?
My contact paper has always had the opposite problem of sticking to everything it touches.
Old contact paper can lose its ability to stick to stuff but you could have a problem if what you are adhering the paper to is wet or flaking.
Some lower quality papers do not have the same thickness and concentration of glue on the backing which can result in them not staying stuck on.
Is the surface that you are trying to stick the contact paper on to clean, dry, free of any dust, lint, or greasy residue?
Did you buy adhesive Contact Paper? They also make nonadhesive and easy-release adhesive Paper. Clean the surface Dry it. Place the Contact Paper precisely against a straight edge to keep the pattern straight. Don’t stretch the paper. Use a plastic card to smooth bubbles and wrinkles toward an open edge. Use no more than a pin prick if you have to smooth a trapped bubble. Follow the directions for removing the backing. Best wishes 😇
I am having the same problem, I Have Contact Brand Adhesive Covering removable. My wall is a thin board like paneling. I cleaned it and let it dry and I had a problem getting the paper to stick. Once I got the paper on it stuck but I am giving it a couple of weeks to see how it holds up before I do the whole wall Any suggestions would be appreciated.
