Good morning

Recently put up 1400 lining paper. 1st time I have done it and in about 3 places there is a tiny bit of overlapping.

How would you suggest that I try to cover up that and also any gaps I find?

Thanks

George
 
Paint the walls first..then rub the overlaps down after..the paint will harden them up a little making them easier to sand

As for the joints..fill them, rub down lightly, touch up using a radiator roller to match the existing rolled finish, allow to dry, then paint the whole wall
 
Ordinary polyfilla...not the ready mixed stuff its like concrete to rub down

You may find a few edges springing up here and there when you paint..slide the brush behind them and stick em back with emulsion
