Hi All
Just hung some 1200 grade lining paper as a base for emulsion.
How long does the paper take to dry before painting?
Ta.


It depends on how wet the paper is, how warm and well ventilated the room
is. But a rule of thumb is 24 hours in a warm well ventilated room, before
painting. Wet paint has a tendency to peel the paper off again if started
to quickly.
