Hi there,
Just installed a limestone fire surround and we are planning to wallpaper. The Fireplace shop says we have to seal the surround after about 4 weeks in the house to allow time for it to dry out.
The wallpaper guy was out and is a bit apprehensive cos i pointed out that it wasn't sealed and he says its impossible to avoid getting some paste on it when cutting round the surround.
So my questions are:
1. when can we wallpaper
2. what precautions can we take (masking tape etc)
3. how do i wash out paste IF some gets on the surround without freaking out??
Thanks
