Default Plasterboard paper surface peeling

Hi all,

I have some internal stud/plasterboard walls, the paper is peeling away
from the plasterboard at the joins in some areas. It's quite thick due to
the number of coats of paint, so I can't just glue it down, it will
quickly peel away again.

What to do?

Don't recognise this problem. Do you mean wallpaper or lining paper, or
the outer layer of "card" in the plasterboard sandwich?

Don't think the plasterboard is papered over, it's the layer of paper on
the plasterboard that is peeling.

The only options really are
1. glue it back, maybe while leaning something against it. Wallpaper paste softens paper well.
2. Rip it off
3. Skim plaster over it all.
4. Fit lining paper.

Sounds like you have some sort of damp problem.
Condensation maybe.
Interstitial condensation?

it should have been reinforced with glass tappe.

All you cam do is remove the skim and tape the joint and re skim it

I'd go for ripping off the loose flap, sandpaper to give a smooth
feathered hole, fill with lightweight filler, then maybe lining paper
(again ripped to feather it) prior to light sand and repaint.


If its stable underneath, yes.

I assumed it wasnt


Agreed. I'd assumed they could get back to something "solid". As I said
in my original response I found it hard to understand how this condition
had arisen (damp and movement being obvious possible causes).

Still not an answer, is it the card that is stuck to the plaster? our
plasterboard does not have paper,just the layer of card, if this is
peeling back it can not be stuck back and you must cut affected stuff
out and feather and skim with finishing compound.

Carefully peel off the paper leaving a feathered edge.
Paint the plaster with diluted PVA, several coats getting less dilute. Stick on lining paper (or even newspaper) with PVA (Several layers)
When dry sand down, adding paper layers as necessary or filler.

usually it won't

Paint the plaster with diluted PVA, several coats getting less dilute.


you only get 1 go with pva. After that the pores are clogged. Slosh loads of very dilute pva on if the plaster is crumbly, but only once. No need otherwise.
Skip the strong layer, it'll just make things not stick

Stick on lining paper (or even newspaper) with PVA (Several layers)


wallpaper paste is much better

When dry sand down, adding paper layers as necessary or filler.


you can't sand paper, use filler.

Default Lonely Psychopathic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert!

On Mon, 17 Jun 2019 06:32:38 +1000, cantankerous trolling geezer Rodent
Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again:

You only glue the centre of one layer of lining paper and then you
feather it by tearing the edges back towards the centre when its dry.
Then you can sand it and fill it as needed.

Does nobody in this group DIY decorate any more?


No using stupid paper on walls.


I suppose his question was not meant for the resident senile idiot, senile
Rodent.

Doesn't leave a good surface. You can't sand paper, try it & see.
