In many places the paper is rippleing on the edge.
My company is kinda of a handyman dealing with restaurants, Ive done some residental paper hanging, not this commercial stuff
At one location I saw the paper hangers reuse the paper (vinyl type)
My question their supplying the paper but should I try to re use?

No. Odds are when you pull it back or down, you will stretch the vinyl somewhat, and it won't go back in place very well. Plus, make sure its been at least 30 days since the first hanger did the install before you try to remove any of it. The paste needs about 30 days to cure hard, so when you pull it, it will shear and break away from the wall, as compared to ripping the drywall to shreds if it isnt cured.

No clue, could be a number of things. Most likely, not enough paste at the edges.

Yeah, it can be patched. I assume its 5" x 7", not feet. Use hot mud, and make sure to keep the patch in the middle of the panel. You don't want the seam to end up on the patch. You know you need to bust the seams, right?
