When you get to a light switch, make two
diagonal cuts across the centre of the faceplate, running from corner to
corner. Tap the paper in around the faceplate and trim off most of the waste
with scissors.
Turn off the electricity at the
consumer unit and loosen the faceplate so that you can tuck the paper behind
it. Turn the power on again when the paste is dry.
Paper around flush wall sockets
in a similar way: cut the wallpaper to butt against the mounting box of a
surface-mounted socket or switch. Cut the diagonals with scissors and use a
sharp knife to trim off the waste.
Use the pasting brush to
stipple the paper down firmly around the edge of the mounting box.
