Default Papering a hardboard ceiling.

I didn't know that you had to prime hardboard before papering so was very disappointed to find paper hanging down from the ceiling that I had lined the previous day.
So I stripped it and washed it a painted it with acrylic primer and papered it again but the same thing has happened.
Any ideas? Can you hang paper with PVA instead of paste?

PVA would be worse, it lacks grab. I'd suspect the paste, faulty or too dilute perhaps.
