Do I need to size lining paper.

Jul 20, 2006 3 Replies

Hi All



I have a room in my house that has been lined with 1200 lining paper. I am now ready to paper over this with wallpaper.



Do I need to size the lining paper before hand.



If I do what is a good product to use i.e. watered down paste, PVA or buy a branded size.



Cheers

The message from "T G" contains these words:

I do - just runny paste. It makes it grab less when you're applying the paper.

Sorry one more question

Does the size have to be done a days or two before papering (to allow to dry) or while I am papering.

Cheers

I start one end, then by the time I've got all the way round and had a cuppa it's OK to start papering. Works for me.
