FAQs

Does 1700 Grade paper hide deep cracks?

It is designed to smooth out imperfections, but deep cracks should be filled and sanded flush before applying the lining paper for best results.

Can I paint directly onto the lining paper?

Yes, once the paper is fully dry and cured, it provides an excellent surface for direct painting.

Why is it important that it is PVC and fiberglass-free?

This ensures the paper is made from traditional cellulose fibers, which are breathable and generally easier to strip or remove compared to synthetic alternatives.

Do I need to prime the walls before applying the paper?

Yes, applying a size or weak wallpaper paste solution to the wall before hanging improves adhesion and promotes uniform drying.

How long should I soak the paper?

Follow the specific soaking time indicated on the packaging; consistency is key to preventing expansion issues after the paper is on the wall.

Troubleshooting

Paper lifting at the seams

Ensure that enough paste is applied to the edges and that the paper was given adequate soaking time to expand before hanging.

Bubbles appearing after drying

Small bubbles may settle as the paste dries; if they persist, carefully inject a small amount of wallpaper adhesive behind the bubble with a syringe and smooth gently.

Visible joints between lengths

Ensure the butt joints are tight during installation and consider using a seam roller to flatten the edges immediately after hanging.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves the appearance of damaged or old plaster
  • Provides an excellent 'tooth' for paint or adhesive bonding
  • Double-length format is cost-effective and efficient for large rooms
  • PVC and fiberglass-free composition
  • Heavyweight material resists tearing during installation

Cons

  • Requires more adhesive than standard lightweight lining papers
  • Heavy weight makes it challenging for inexperienced DIYers to hang alone
  • Substantial drying time needed before painting or papering
  • Improper edge joining can show seams under light-colored paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper preparation is the most critical stage for working with 1700 Grade paper. Before application, ensure your wall is dry, clean, and free from loose debris. While the paper is robust, it must be soaked according to the manufacturer's 'soaking time' to ensure the paper expands before it is hung; failing to allow for expansion will result in bubbles or lifting seams. Compatibility-wise, this paper works exceptionally well with standard water-based emulsions and high-quality pastes. For care, once applied and dry, it can be maintained like any standard wall surface; avoid excessive moisture during cleaning, and always use high-quality primers if you intend to hang heavy, textured wallpaper over the lining paper.
