Prep'ing plasterboard ready to paper over

[shd1970]

Hi all....

I have 2 strips of plasterboard that are not skimmed that I want to paper over with a blown vinyl.

I know its not ideal as removing the paper in the future is likely to result in damaging the plasterboard etc but just wanted to know whats the best prep that I can do please ?

I have some thick lining paper that I planned to use underneath so could someone tell me if I should seal the plasterboard before and if so, with what please ?

Thanks in advance

Give it a coat of zinnser gardz before papering this will future proof the wall.

Thanks for the reply dcdec

I see a few options on screwfix....can you confirm which one please ?

 

[shd1970]

would a PVA mixture be sufficient / as good please ?

it seems screwfix don't stock Gardz....only Zinsser Permawhite, Bullseye 123, Coverstain or Bin
