How can I soften the curled-up edges of my vinyl-coated wallpaper so I can re-glue it to the wall?

I just reglued. Don't think you can soften it.

I'm not sure what is used in Lake Forest, California, but would steam
from a steam iron work?

How big are these curls?

sTEAM WOULD SOFTEN IT, BUT YOU SHOULD USE NEW GLUE.

I would first apply paste, then press with a damp cloth and low setting
on steam iron. Brief heat should soften it, then tape seam with
painters' tape until the paste dries.
