Hello and thank you for looking at this post.
In a bedroom which is to be decorated, the old wallpaper has been stripped off leaving generally sound but quite uneven walls some of which have remnants of paintwork.
Lining paper appears to be the appropriate way forward here, however the walls' surfaces are uneven and the few pieces iof lining paper I have afixed so far do not smooth out very well leaving lots of ridges and bumps (and air bumps or paste bumps) in the paper which won't budge.
Whilst my lining paper skills are novice, there does appear to be an excessive amount of bumps in the lining paper so far.
I wondered if lining paper is always to be expected to be nearly totally smooth once in place, and if not then what other approach should be taken to preparing these walls for decoration.
Thanks for reading.
