Are you trying to track down the last remaining few so you can burn them ?

Just coat the wall with PVA and spray cornflakes over it. Then you can paper
over with a plain paper. Easy.

;-)

Cheers

You're welcome.

Wickes, ISTR - however, it's not best quality - take care
not to stretch it.

I dunno why people have a problem with woodchip. Whist I admit it's
not the most stylish wallcovering it certainly improves lumpy walls.
The same is true of artex.

I'm sure that textured walls/ceilings will come back into fashion
soon, just as carpets are starting to do.

No. A thousand times no. I'd rather have chunks of plaster falling off than
either woodchip or artex.

Then I'll emmigrate.

I have no problem with textured wallpaper - though I think the patterns
available 10-20 years ago* (Graham & Brown) were far better than the current
range. But please don't mention wood chip in the same breath!

*I know. Old age. But the present range seems to be so old-fashioned! ;-)

I am ashamed to say I want to put it on walls.

Yes, their stuff is like one chip per per square inch, but any port in
a storm )

Not sure why you want "large" (long?) rolls. "Touch" made a very good
wood chip ("ingrain") paper. It's much nicer on walls than textured
paint, for instance, or that damn stuff with sand in it....

Didn't Christie use woodchip when he was decorating? ;-)

LOL! Sorry

Woodchip though, ewe!

It does not "improve" lumpy walls. It conceals the lumps.

It does no such thing. It introduces new lumps. Thousands of the b&stards.

Yeah, but why? Is it purely a fashion thing? If so, do you wear
hoodies and drive a smart car?

See that house decorated in woodchip? That's your dream house, that
is!

No. Woodchip was invented because people couldn't afford plaster. It wasn't
a lifestyle choice.

I would no more apply woodchip paper than I would sew patches to my
trousers.

UGH! I think artex should be banned! It's a real pain to get rid of.

I'm sure that textured walls/ceilings will come back into fashion
soon, just as carpets are starting to do.

And then go out of fashion again leaving a mess to get rid of.

No, it was not. The proper name is "ingrain" paper.

Yes, it was, very much so.

LOL! I agree - woodchip is another of the "we have a by-product, what can
we do with it?" materials, like woodwool slabs, Stramit, Synthaprufe and
various gunges etc etc. Most of them end up being banned (asbestos cement
was another one). I wouldn't be surprised if someone discovers that glass
fibre quilt is hazardous a few years on. I once saw a massive attack of
true Dry Rot that was feeding off damp woodchip paper.
