Sizing

[DaveOC]

Hi
I have newly plastered walls, and have put a watered down supermatt Emulsion onto them, I thought this would seal them but they are still very absorbent. as I'm going to wallpaper them they will need to be sized, My question is what should I be using to size them ??. The supermatt was recommened by some old posts but I can't see what good it has done?
Thanks for any help you can offer

Use wallpaper paste to size the walls. Matt emulsion is porous so water will pass straight through.

Buy a packet of proper "glue size" and follow instruction as to how to use.
It's cheap enough, it's made for the job and it stinks.

The best (and qiuckest) thing to use is a thin coat of P.V.A which can be rolled on.
