I've just bought some posh lining paper (from decoratingdirect). I knew
about the 20m rolls, but had missed the fact that they are 75cm wide. Better
value perhaps, but too wide for my 60cm pasting table!

I am thinking of getting a sheet of say 12mm MDF cut down to perhaps 2m x
90cm, wrapping it in thin polythene, and putting it on top of my pasting
table, so I can deal with the wider rolls. Anyone got any better ideas
before I go down this route?

Thanks a lot

The 75cm stuff I got from them was paste-the-wall...

Varnish the wider piece of timber (and the original table)) So much
easier to clean

Hardboard would do just as well but I would cut it to the width of the
paper, the reason pasting tables are roll width is so that you don't get
paste on the table surface and then inadvertently transfer it to the top
of the next sheet. 7 odd cm unsupported on the hardboard will be fine.

Paste tables are 56cm, wallpaper is 52cm.

D'oh! I think you are right, I had forgotten about that (was planning to
follow the 'old skool' method instead. Thanks for that.

Good point about keeping the width at least similar fred, thanks.

So it is although all the lining I have here is 56 which is pretty much
all I use these days.
