Repair wood chip wallpaper

[russ8585]

Hello,

It there a solution to repair wood chip wallpaper prior to painting?
I've moved into a new house and every room has wood chip paper. The paper is in good condition in some rooms, apart from a few patches were the paper is missing/damaged.
Is there a way to replace the missing sections and achieve a blend?
This example photo is about the size of a hand and is the largest damage section. Most are much smaller.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think it’ll look crap repaired. Imo, you’d have to rated it, or use a filler and try to achieve the stipple/bitty effect. Maybe use lining paper?

I found this stuff, not sure how well it would work

I am a decorator. Fortunately, I seldom work with woodchip...

I think the bigger problem that you have is the number of coats of paint applied over the original woodchip paper.

As per @CountryFan 's post, a suitable filler and trying to introduce the texture might be better. Alternatively, buy some thicker woodchip paper, cut a square out and drop the new bit in and try the product you found online.

Unfortunately, I cannot see a seamless finish.
