Hi Forum,
I'm removing old lining paper as I want to repaint bedroom straight onto walls.
On the whole the walls are not in bad shape, there are the usual hairline cracks and also some areas where a thin skim coat has been applied on the corner of the bay window.
If I were to paint the edges would probably show up but equally I'd prefer not to get the entire wall reskimmed. So I wanted to find out if I should just use Polyfiller to smooth out the edges of the skim and / or apply a base coat?
Also, if I apply a base coat and find some imperfections that I've missed, is it ok to make good with Polyfiller and then apply the top coat? Or does that ruin the final finish?
Thanks
Mark
