Quick question: I have just finished scraping wallpaper off a wall that the previous bozos ... I mean, homeowners ... hadn't bothered to prime, paint or size. The other walls had been painted, luckily. I scraped off a gouge before I realized this wall was different, also I used a paper tiger and was a little zealous in a few spots and left dings in the drywall paper.
Can I just use drywall patch over those small areas, then paint? Googling, I saw that someone had a problem doing that, that they should have shellac-ed over the damaged areas first.
After all this work, I don't want to make more work for myself by skipping a step. Thanks for any help you can give me.
