preparing walls to decorate

[Technaut]

hi,

I recently strippped off all of the wallpaper in my flat and when I did a lot of cbhips came out of the plaster work. So I have spent a while go back round all of the walls with plaster to fill all of the wee gaps up.

We are going to put wallpaper up - do I need to do anything else to the walls before this? Im think the next time the paper is stripped it might take off the wee bits of plaster I have done with it if I dont treat it

cheers

Size it with a weak mix of wallpaper paste first.

Some of what came off? The plaster you put in? What type of plaster did you use?

How about a professional?
Did you PVA the holes before you put the plaster in?
