Hi all,

The wallpaper in the bedroom was put on top of a painted wall. When
we removed the wallpaper it pulled off some of the paint back to the
plaster. We want to now just paint the wall.Â* What is the best way
to deal with this? Should I used a watered down paint again where
the plaster is exposed? Also how do we stop the line between the
originally painted bit and the now plaster exposed bit from being
seen when we paint the wall?

Thanks in advance

Lee.

Use a thick, good quality lining paper that'll cover the imperfections.


Agreed - I have done up over ten houses - your only solution other
than skimming the walls.

It will look terrible if you simply paint over.


PS: I stopped using lining paper a long time ago - a lot of work to get
it perfect. Now I always skim and paint over.

You'll be surprised how inexpensive skimming can be. Find a good
plasterer and buy and bring all the bags of plaster yourself - they cost
next to nothing, and then just pay him his daily rate.

is this a joke ?. Good plasterers know how much they are worth,
especially in the South, South east
