Hi
I have recently stripped wallpaper from my 1950's house. The plaster beneath is okay (ish) but I have made a number of ruts and dents in the plaster with my scraper.
I have removed all the adhesive with sugar soap and washed the walls again with clean water.
Is there something I can buy from B&Q or other store that I can paint on(kind of paintable filler or something) that will fill all the hairline cracks and scraper dents and ruts and provide me with a good finish ready for painting?
On some of the walls (that were previously painted under the wall paper) I have removed some of the paint. So some walls I have a couple of bare patches of plaster showing through the old paint. I don't want to just paint over as you will see the patches. I was thinking of sanding and applying a thin layer of filler before I paint???? Is this okay or is there something else I should be doing?
Many thanks
