firstly please disregard a few posts to your question, as some people haven't a clue what there talking about, yes its the same paste and you hang it vertically for painting and horizontally (across the wall) if you are going to hang a top covering on top i.e wallpaper as this stops the edges of the lining paper and the wall covering falling in the same place and protruding, when i hang lining paper i leave 3/4 ml gap between sheets then fill these gaps with filler for a seamless finish, when this is dried you can paint straight on top do not p.v.a if you are going to emulsion your wall as emulsion has a difficult time sticking to any surface p.v.a has been applied to, it seems that people on y.a are obsessed with p.v.a'ing everything especially when it comes to painting, do not p.v.a there is no need you do not need to seal your wall, in fact you want the opposite you want the paint to absorb not run off the wall because you put p.v.a on first, you may well get bubbles appearing after you have painted, this is normal as long as you had none before you started they will disappear as the paint dries.

Lining Paper For Painting
2016-12-11 18:43:21 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
luke3rgj is nearly right because all decorators will do things slightly different. I hang my lining paper horizontally even if painting or papering over because I find it much easier. Since I'm use to the brand of paper I use, I can judge the gap so it's near seemless when dry and not really noticable after painting. I don't fill my seems because I don't need to. If one vertical strip fills the wall (say between 2 doors) then I put this one on vertically and splice it in.
Just standard wallpaper paste and leave 5 mins or so to soak before hanging.
Putting the paper horizontally will allow you to paper over in the future. The reason being you don't want the join to match on both lining and top paper.
As I said, luke3rgj is right in a way and I've seen other decorators follow both mine and his way of work.

Sure is - just let the paper dry out for 24 hours before you paint over. Have fun!

yeah. you put it up like you would with any other wallpaper. you use the same sort of paste. i used the really strong stuff when i did mine just to make sure. then make sure you let it fully dry before painting over it. it might bubble when you start painting, but as it dries the bubbles disappear.

yeah it sure is, just make sure the paper has set before you paint on it, and expect a few bubbles when ou start painting, we had some when we did our front room

The correct way to put up lining paper is to hang it horizontal rather than vertical. leave a small gap beetween lengths so the paint can fill them, and you achieve a smooth seam free finish
good luck
Mark'll fix it
