Taking fresco blown vynl off my walls it comes off dry but leaves the backing paper on is it alright to paper on top of this, will it act as a lining paper or do I need to strip it back to the plaster. thank you for any help.
It's OK as long as it's left *all* the lining paper on, and as long as it's still firmly stuck. If the backing/lining is coming away a bit at the edges, it can be stuck back down before papering over it. However, if great chunks of lining have cone off with the vinyl - as often happens - you'll have to fetch it *all* off. In that case, make sure that the plaster is sound - and repair as necessary, and remove any flaking paint. If there's a sound painted surface, *don't* remove the paint - this is much easier to paper than bare plaster.
As long as it's in good order and there are no lumps and bumps just give it a coat of size (let it dry) then paper it.
