FAQs
What type of paste should I use?
Use standard wallpaper paste suitable for the paste-the-wall or paste-the-paper method.
Can I paint directly onto the lining paper?
Yes, once the lining paper is completely dry, it can be painted directly with emulsion paint.
How long should I let the lining paper dry before painting?
Allow the lining paper to dry completely, typically 24-48 hours, depending on the room's conditions.
Can I use this lining paper in a bathroom?
Yes, but ensure proper ventilation and use a mold-resistant paint if the bathroom is prone to moisture.
How do I cut the lining paper?
Use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to ensure clean, precise cuts.
How many rolls do I need for my project?
One 12m x 0.53m roll covers up to 6.72 square metres. Calculate the wall area to determine the number of rolls needed.
How do I remove the lining paper?
The lining paper is strippable. Wet the paper with warm water, let it soak for a few minutes, then gently peel it off.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles under the lining paper after hanging.
Use a smoothing brush or roller to gently push the bubbles towards the edges while the paste is still wet. For persistent bubbles, carefully cut a small slit in the paper and smooth it down.
Seams are visible after painting.
Ensure the edges of the lining paper are butted together tightly. Apply a second coat of paint to ensure full coverage.
The lining paper is not sticking to the wall.
Make sure you're using the correct type of paste for the lining paper. Ensure the wall surface is clean and not overly absorbent. Allow the paste to soak into the paper for the recommended time before hanging.
