I've been trying to hang 1400 lining paper onto my ceiling, but it won't stay up.
It's a newly plastered ceiling (over Artex), the ceiling has dried out, I have sized it once (which dried in about 20 minutes).
When I pushed the paper onto the ceiling it just fell straight off again - no adhesion or grab at all.
I've just felt the lining paper which was pasted about 20 minutes ago but it feels like there's hardly any paste on the paper - it's like it's absorbed it all.
I definately mixed the correct ratio for the paste (it did seem a little thinner than I've experienced before (many years ago). I applied a lot of paste to the paper.
