Hi,
After having taken the old thick wallpaper off the wall, some areas had peeling flaky paint on one wall. I've rubbed it all down and then lined the whole room with 1400 grade lining paper. Thinking it would cover those imperfections, the lining paper has molded through every nook and cranny around the patchy edges of the old bits of paint removed, so those imperfections all appear through the new lining paper! Is there anything I can do to hide those small imperfections showing through the new lining paper without taking the affected sheets off and start again?
I've lined the whole room, but it's only part of a wall that has the problem.
It makes me think what's the point of lining a wall if small imperfections show through. But to make it smooth I now realise painting and decorating is a skill in itself. Please help!
Many thanks.
