Hi, I'm in the middle of papering some walls and used lining paper first. The trouble is that one of the walls wasn't plastered very well and the transition between existing plaster and new plaster is showing through as a raised section in the lining paper from the floor wall the way up to the ceiling. Now before I hang the final wallpaper, will it help at all if I apply a second sheet of lining paper to that wall to even out the bumps? :(

No, it wont help. What you could do is get some filler and fill over lining paper, at the bad areas. But if the lining paper has not been corectly applied then mr blister will pay you a visit. Then again if the filler is a different colour from the rest of the lining paper, then this may show through the finish wallcovering even though the finish paper is expensive, cheap, good quality or bad quality. Best way to be 100% sure it looks good is strip all lining paper and re-plaster all walls.
 
It`s the transition that`s the prob. :cry: Ideally the whole wall should`ve been plastered .OR @ least the spread should`ve told you about the join not being perfect :oops: Because it`s not easy to join new2old without some discrepancy
