Hanging Lining Paper

• Hang Lining paper horizontally around the room. This ensures that the joins of the lining paper do not coincide with the joins of your wallcoverings

• Cut the lining paper the width of the wall and allow approximately 20mm to carry around onto adjoining wall.

• It is adviseable to leave a 1mm gap between lengths of lining paper. This helps prevent the lining paper from buckling up when rewet by the size and/or adhesive of the new wallpaper.

• Leave no less than 24 hours before proceeding.

• It is recommended that the now dry lining paper be sealed with a coat of oil based pigmented sealer.

• Allow to dry and then sand with 80 grit sandpaper.

• Dust then apply a coat of latex size.

• Then hang your wallpaper in the normal way.
