Hi all,
I have bought my first house and I am taking my first steps into DIY.
I have removed the wallpaper from the walls and underneath appears to be a yellowish paint/plaster?
In some areas it is flakey and in others it appears pretty smooth. I have uploaded two pictures.
I have read that I should do a thin coat before filling to show the imperfections first.
What I want to know is. What is on the wall? And do I need to sand it all off before doing a coat, or just make it relatively smooth?
Thank you for your help and Sorry if I have broke any forum rules.
