How do I reattach wallpaper?

Answered

what is the best fix for reattaching wallpaper if it is coming open at the seams? I tried squirting some wallpaper type glue in between but all that did was make it squirt out and stain my paper - any suggestions besides tearing it down and re - wallpapering again?

  Thank you for this link, I will try this also for the bigger gaps I have, seems after 20+ years it has loosened up in some places

I used white elmer's glue (the one with a cow on it) and it held fine until I was ready to take it down. It dries clear.

White Elmers glue dries clear, that should work!
