Following a recent roof leak, and a damaged lath/plaster internal
wall, I've decided to have a go at plasterboard/tape/jointing
compound. It's only a 1m x 2.4m (wxh) section, and the board's up.

Could I get away with not sealing the PB? Or is there a substitute? It
only seems to come in big tubs at £20+.

If it's just for painting, you don't need any primer, just fill, sand
and paint.

Don't ever stick wallpaper over an unskimmed plasterboard unless you
intend replacing the board next time you strip the paper, the paper of
the plasterboard comes off when it's steamed / soaked

You just paper over the top of the old. Until you can no longer get in the
room.
