Lining paper - external corners ??

[nobby72]

Hello All - I'm lining papering a room in preperation to wallpaper over the top. I have seen on other posts here about leaving a hairline gap between drops if covering with paper - would it be ok to leave this gap/join on an external corner with a view to the finishing paper wrapping around the corner and over the join. The reason I ask is that the walls are pretty rough and i am using 1700 grade lining paper which doesn't take on the external corners ( which typically aren't that true) very well and it would just be easier to seam it there. Any advice will be very welcome.

don't mean to hijack post but am just finishing off lining papering a room and have the one external corner to deal with.

The lining paper will be painted when finished and I have tried to put the walls into a decent shape in terms of sanding, etc, so are fairly smooth.

trasnitboy - should I deal with the external corner in the same manner? will it look okay if I am just painting? I am not using as heavy a grade lining paper, i thinks it 1000 grade
