ive already cross lined the walls

No. You have to lightly sand the walls and then size, prior to cross lining, there is no need to go further. For paste if you mix the paste with walm water stirring briskly and make it about twice the strength it say on the box. It will always say it makes up to 20 rolls but after a life time doing the job, trust me, not the manufacturers. When you paste make sure you give the paper long enough to soak five to ten minutes should do it, whatever you do don't hang it straight away or it will bubble. Don't forget to wipe the ceiling line with a clean damp cloth after you trim and fix each length, or it will mark the ceiling sometime later.
Good luck!!!!!!!

Clean and size the wall first. You can use a roller, so this bit is quick. Then hang the lining and top paper as normal. If you want to make sure and size the lining paper as well, it won't harm.

Yes I would size the wall. It stops any paste on the paper being soaked immediately into the wall so that it is easier to adjust the paper when hanging. To some degree you can 'slide' the paper 'Size' is itself a thin paste.

so long as you size the walls before lining there is no need to size the lined walls. put plenty of paste on the finished paper and leave soak for at least 5minutes before hanging

normaly you do not nave to size walls,you only size if walls arenewly plastred or in poor shape ,or have old distemper paint on them(thats a old type of emultion)again some pastes straight onto wallpapers to wall will will fetch of good emultion, always read instructions of wallpaper asmost now recomend lining to cover themselves if paper does not stick

You size the wall not the paper.

If you have hung the lining paper edge to edge and used decorators joint filler then yes only over the joint filler but if you have overlapped the edges of the lining paper then SORRY it's time to start again.....

if your walls are very dry you do, but it helps any way to do it the paper sticks better.
