Default Putting up lining paper on newly plasterd walls??

In the week I built a new stud wall - using 9mm plasterboard,

it fully tomorrow.


Sand it??? You should not need to do that! It's *very* messy,
could you consider filler as a final skim?


I am then planning on hanging 1300 grade lining paper on the
walls next weekend, so that they will cover any blemished etc
as my plastering is not prefect. Anyway - do I need to coat
the walls in anything prior to hanging the wall paper?


Yes, you will certainly need to "size" it, maybe twice, and let
the size dry properly before proceeding.
