Any advice? Has anyone else done anything similar? Liek I said, I
can't plaster and so skimming isnt an option but I think possibly the
compound could be, but I'm not sure how well I could smooth it?

Thanks


One of the pitfalls of painting new plaster then wanting to wallpaper it at
a later date and wanting to paint it again after stripping the paper of.

Will people listen...no!

Lining paper.



or polyskim.

Its a LOT easier than plastering,,and any rough bits get the emery paper
treatment.
