hi-
I have some existing textured wallpaper/anaglypta covered in white gloss between skirting and dado rail and need to replace it with new textured wallpaper again to be covered in white gloss (because unfortunately I cannot get the original pattern which I need for some new areas).
I've bought a 6" wallpaper stripper tool from B&Q which I thought I could use to strip the old textured wallpaper. However, all I have managed to do is to scrape of the reliefed patterns, leaving the wall smooth, but still glossy apart from where the patterns were.
Would I be able to simply paste the new textured wallpaper on this smooth wall? I'm concerned that pasting over a predominantly glossed surface might make things not stick. However, if I could, it would make things much simpler.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
Thanks
