Removing wallpaper paste / preparing old bare walls
I've removed all the paper from my walls but am left will quite a bit of
paste residue which I need to remove before priming/painting the plaster walls. -what's the best method of getting the old paste off ? I tried sugar soap solution - but it just seemed to move the paste around the wall, didn;t actually disolve it. - any good quality primier recomendations ? (wall is fairly sound, some hairline cracks which I can fill - was thinking of using Polycell BaseCoat which has a thick texture for allegedly covering poor quality walls) |
