Thank You blup, Already have the paper which is Erfurt Mav so will carry on, it is going to be matt paint so that will minimise anything showing but will bear in mind the 2200 paper.

Stripped paper and wall was rough as anything, have filled holes and the areas where the layers of old emulsion has come away and sanded, will be putting up 1700 lining paper and painting and it is paste the paper not the wall stuff. Question is before i size the wall should i put a dilute coat...

More Chinese rubbish, just look at sellers contact details.

I wonder if you could confirm would be ok to use these? Hollow Soffit Board - 300mm x 10mm x 5mtr White At £12 a pop it would be a much cheaper option, ok still have to buy hardware, battens etc. https://www.pvccladding.com/hollow-soffit-board-300mm-x-10mm-x-5mtr-white-p-H300/
