Hi
Making (slow!) progress on my first room in updating my bungalow. Have prepared all the walls ready for putting up lining paper and then painting. Have spent hours filling and sanding so think I have got a pretty good finish. Have sealed large areas of new plaster and filler with PVA and also sized walls ready for papering. I've bought 1000 grade lining paper - there seems to be mixed views on this and I am starting to wonder if it might be a bit too heavy and thick, especially as have two large windows with reveals that will need papering . So for all you experts out there will this weight paper be difficult to handle? If it should be okay, how long should I soak it for - advice says soak each piece for same time but not how long!
Any advice greatly appreciated
thanks
Ronnie
