Hi all,
Yesterday I wallpapered the two biggest walls in our box room. I've hung wallpaper quite a few times and have never had a problem and have even hung this same paper. This room is just looking goddamn awful!
There are a LOT of bubbles everywhere and it's been nearly 24 hours without much change. I was generous with the paste and left the paper to soak for well over the recommended time and hung it in the same way as I've always done. I'm hoping the bubbles will disappear in the next couple of days. The thing I'm banking on is the fact that I've only ever wallpapered bare plaster. One wall I've just done is plasterboard/drywall which has been sealed. The sealer seems to have done a great job, especially on the compounded joints which is where 90% of the bubbles are. On the other wall I have papered over silk paint. When I sized this wall it took over 24 hours to dry.
So to my question...will a dehumidifier help speed up the drying process, or will this actually cause more harm than good?
Cheers,
Paul.
