Default Wallpapering onto plaster with paint patches.

Hi All
I'm doing some wallpapering at the moment - just heavy textured lining
paper onto old (sized) plaster. But there are patches of paint on some
areas of the plaster. I'd hoped that the general grip would mean that I
could ignore these, but (especially at the edges of the paper, of course)
I'm getting some lifting, grr. I assume this means that the paint is
oil-based.

What's the best approach here? I am resigned to using PVA border adhesive at
some edges, but I wonder if there's something I can to to get better
adhesion over the other patches of paint.

thanks
J^n
