I Removed Old Wallpaper using Vinegar and Water. I put 2 coats of Flat paint and was going to Rehang New Wallpaper. The Paste made Bubbles under the New Paper. What do I have to do to Prevent this from happening? I tore down the New Bubbled Paper.

Should have used primer and did you leave enough days for the wall board to dry out before tackling this job. Then did you let the wall dry for a couple days after painting to dry before hanging the paper? Did you pre-paste the paper and book it and let sit before hanging? When you hung the wallpaper, did you use a squeegee/wallpaper brush to work the whole surface to remove any bubbles out to the edges before hanging the next run? These are things that would affect the outcome. Personally, even though I've done wallpaper for 55 years, I would just go with the newer pre-pasted removable/stripable ones unless I was using high-end silk or flocked papers.
Did you use a squegge? Did you overly wet the walls?
Sounds like you needed to let it dry for a few days.
Did you use a flat edge tool, to flat edge tool, as you put this up, this takes away the bubbles, as you do this. You may have to use a pin, to pop this area, and see what happens. Best wishes, J.
