Patchy ceiling - overboard, lining paper, or ???
Just started stripping the anaglypta paper from walls and ceiling in the
first room we're tackling. The stuff on the walls is coming off reasonably OK but underneath is some painted 1930/1940s paper (very thin) that is a bit of a pain, but it's coming off slowly. The problem is (predictably) the ceiling - the plaster seems to be reasonably OK but it's been painted and some of the paint is coming off with the paper, leaving a patchy surface. I'd prefer not to have to overboard if possible, but what are the alternatives? Thick lining paper, paint stripper, sanding ... anything else? |
