Painting Wallrock lining paper

[5oysterman2]

Now finished papering hall, stairs & landing, now got some more questions!!!!

1. Probably be using Dulux emulsion, do i need to dilute the first coat or not.

2. I'll be using frogtape or similar on skirting/architrave etc, which one is better?

3. Seen lot's of YouTube videos where they caulk the edge of tape & then paint it, is this a good thing? If a good idea, do you have to wait until caulk is set & then paint?

I have used it and also filled to joins and sanded but it will need about 5 coats before the filler is completely covered so it does not flash through. You dont need 5 coats over everything - just the join area but its areal problem painting thin when its hot like this as it drys before you can eoll the next bit and any overlap shows.
I would thin it down because of that.
To stop filler flashing through I have actually used paint as the filler, half dry and gone a bit thicker.
Either way the result looks like a perfect new skim with no visible joins
