Hi all,
I am due to start on our spare room in the week. The walls are not great so going down the road of anaglypta and then painting over this.
I had allready stripped the walls of the old paper around 6 months ago so the walls just need basic prep work.
My question is the walls had been painted years back by the other person who lived in so do i need to paint them again before i size the wall or can i just lightley sand over this painted wall and then size and put paper up without painting first.
Also one wall was re plasterd 6 months ago and has no paint on at all. How do i go about putting paper on this wall. Will this need a coat of paint then size or not.
Also we have a celling that had some old tiles on and i have removed the old glue. Do i need to mix water and paint for a first coat on the celling or do i use PVA
Chris
Many Thanks
Chris
