Default Smoothing an old wall

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.


I forgot to add.. I'm not a believer of lining paper.. The joins are
more often than not still visible...I don't expect I will manage to do
much better!

I guess styles change and as people live in and move in and out of
houses, they like different decoration...Can't really be helped that
someone painted the walls, then someone decided they wanted it
papered... and then i decided I didnt.. The variety of life I guess...
A pain up the *** for me to get my smooth wall though!
