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?

Brendan.

It needs a coat of size.
Or PVA to seal the surface.
Keep applying coats until it has a shiny finish.
