Hello, group,

We are buying a house that has wallpaper everywhere imaginable. In one
room however, only one wall had wallpaper, and the other three had some
kind of cheesecloth layer. This is a 1960's house. I've heard that
before they'd put canvas/cheesecloth on walls to make them smoother for
wallpaper. Do you think this is it? If it is, would I remove it like
regular wallpaper or are there special techniques? Should I expect
this cheesecloth layer behind the wallpaper everywhere else? I'd like
to tear down the wallpaper and paint the walls. In the room that has
this cheesecloth stuff, should I remove it, or would the primer/paint
cover the cheesecloth texture?

Thank you,
Elana
