The key to easy wallpapering is to PVA seal the wall so that the paper
glides around easily and you get lots of time to re-position it. Cutting wet
paper accurately is a matter of experience and patience. For me it remains a
frustrating business.

Forgot about that. PVA wil do but paste is acceptable. Sand the wall
first too to remove snots that will really upset you afterwards if you
ignore the little so and sos. A cheap little sander will do it in
moments.

Damn! I just found out you can lose a lot of your post checking the
spelling of scissors in the brand new imported to toolbar set of
dictionaries and encyclopoedias on Firefox. (Beautiful browser though.
AOL learnt a lot in their recent sojourn with them.)

Scissors are the best bet for cutting wet paper and get a nice big
comfortable set (of the right hand for you) from a pucka supplier.

If you are going to push the boat out, get a long wide smoothing over
brush (??) and one of those plastic thingummies they use on dry lining
tape.

If you push the wet wallpaper into a recess with it, you can use a very
sharp knife to cut the excess off without snagging it too badly. After
you have finished it all: remember to do all the painting first.

Especially that bloody awful ceiling.
