Howdy. Has anyone here had success with this during renovations?
1950's home has multi-layers of original/70's wallpaper [hideous as it sounds!] some of which is munted from where their evil cat scratched.
Have had a quote to plaster all the walls to grade 5 after I've steamed off all the paper, but had someone suggest that I paint OVER the wallpaper to save me hours of steaming [and swearing] and 2K on plastering.
Apparently I can apply some glue to make sure the paper is all adhering in non cat-scratched areas, and sand back where the cat's been. Then seal it all, and whammo! Walls are ready to paint.
Any experiences with this mission?
Cheers.
