I have been researching removable wallpapers for months now. They are usually removable but not REUSABLE. I want to use grasscloth on a wall in my pad but want to be able to take it with me. That's not an option. I also don't want it to sag over time or look loose. Humidity is high in summer where I live. Also, the rolls are usually 36" wide so heavier than normal strips of wallpaper.

I would appreciate anyone's experiences or suggestions. I have thought of:
--that waterproof, glues any material interior or exterior glue tabs that is advertised on TV. It is supposed to release when you pull it. Has anyone tried or seen it?
--staples...since grasscloth is forgiving but I'm worried that it may sag in places
--would starch work, as it does for fabric?? or is this wallpaper too heavy?
--moveable spray glue that's used for stencils?? then how do you get IT off the wall later?! paper is probably also too heavy for it.
--ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS??

Also, could someone who's tried the fabric and starch application tell me how you deal with the selvage edge of fabric and the joints? Do you cut it off before you install it? Hard to get it straight enough to join relatively seamlessly, no? Any problems with fraying on cut edges?

Thank you everyone!!
