Default Preparing walls for painting

Hi,

I am trying to prepare my hallways walls for painting. After removing
the old wallpaper, I have found that
underneath the walls are a patchwork of bare plaster and a layer of
paint. There is a slight ridge where the paint and plaster meet, and I
am worried that this will show through after painting.

Two options I am considering are.. Paint the plaster patchs to bring up
the level, and then sand the areas until smooth. Or use this Polycell
"BaseCoat", Does anyone have any experience of this product, would it
suit this purpose ?

Any other ideas will be gratefully considered ;-)

Paul..
