I've just started to strip off the wallpaper in my front room. The problem is that it seems the paper is stuck better to the paint underneath, than the paint is to the plasterboard.
So in most places, the scraper is quite easily fetching off paper and paint, however in certain places the paing is well stuck to the plasterboard, and i'm fetching off the top layer of the plasterboard brown paper, leaving quite a rough finish compared to the top layer of plasterboard.
The question is, if i wanted a painted finish, would i need to skim the rough brown paper, or would an undercoat of paint work? or if i wanted a papered finish, am i ok just to paper over this?
Do i need to PVA in any case?
Ta all.
