Further to my recent thread about my SDS tile removal ripping off lots
of the paper on the plasterboard surface:

The paper is actually part of the structural integrity of
the board -- it will be significantly weakened if that's
damaged.

Given that lining with new paper would look bad if only done where the
tiles were, would I be any better off with a thin layer of plaster?
(Some of the area will be retiled, so it doesn't matter, but much will
be painted.)

A reskim always looks better than lining paper in my view.
