    I really don't remember having this much trouble with a poxy lining paper, that doesn't want to stay stuck, and then bubbles like mental when you wave a paint brush at it.

    DIY bank holiday weekend.........shoe menders to that. Had enough now, time for another beer.

    That's it.........one wall does not/will not behave itself. Painted twice, and bubbled to hell twice, and now the joints are all raised/bubbled.

    Taking the bloody lot down, and re-doing in 800 grade paper. Which does seem to behave.

    Lost a few brownie points with the Mrs......but to hell with it.

    Got two walls here in one room, sized them, & the bl***** lining paper still bubbled, ended up having to paint both walls with Everbuild 406 stabilising liquid, it has cured the problem.

    After stripping - Do yourself a favour and either seal the wall with Zinsser gardez or Halls Beeline primer sealer - wait an hour and then line the walls. No more problems with paper not sticking and no need to size.

    Started to strip hall way, have a problem, previous owner gave the emulsion a slight texture, started sanding it flat & all emulsion is coming off in sheets revealing orginal distempter & plaster.
    Just started my third can of Everbuild 406 stabilising liquid to seal everything before I start painting the walls & I'm only half way up the the stair well.:(:(
