Filling holes in walls with lining paper...advice needed please

Hi All,

We've got quite a few holes in painted lining papered walls to fill, left behind from previous art / TVs, etc. Am I ok to use my Toupret filler on the holes and sand down lightly even though there's painted lining paper there?

Cheers
Daz

You can tape around the area to be be filled, then remove and carefully sand down. Try a small area first to see how it looks after sanding and painting over

What does taping do?
