Help! Can anyone offer any advice?
My house is going on the market soon and i'm decorating at the moment. My ex, in his wisdom, committed the cardinal sin and wallpapered over wallpaper. The original wallpaper is like a very very fine woodchip but I don't think it is. The wallpaper on top is a blown vinyl. For a few years, it was fine then started to come away at the seams. I thought I was going to be able to fix it easily enough and put size on the wall where the 2nd covering of paper had come away and left it to dry overnight. I sprayed the outer paper with water to try soften it (but it didn't!) then I pasted it well and tried to stick it back down to no avail. I have so much to do before the house goes up for sale and I am really hoping that someone can offer me advice. Incidentally, the wallpaper in question is on a camb? wall mainly. I have worked non-stop for the past week and half and got on like a house on fire but this one is a real problem and I haven't a clue what to try next.
