Q. In a past column, you've mentioned a wallpaper seam adhesive that was readily available. I misplaced the column. Can you help?

A. Several brands are available at paint supply stores, hardware stores or home centers, and they usually come in 3- to 4-ounce tubes or quart tubs. Figure on a couple of bucks for the tubs and about $5 for the quart. ShurStik and Golden Harvest are two that come to mind. In addition to repairing those curling seams, the adhesives are quite good when it comes to applying wallpaper borders.
