Hi Spencer, thank you for this video. I have a question for you: I am turning my minivan into a camper van, for the walls I was planning to use plywood, if I follow your process, but I don’t have air conditioning in the van, do you think it will get mold? I plan to travel around the warmer states. Also, if you do not recommend me to do it, do you think I could walk paper over the minivan walls as they are instead? Please let me know and keep in mind my minivan will not have AC unless I am driving which will not be that often.

I had a chipboard partition wall that I painted with white emulsion then papered over it. Haven't had 1 problem in 3 years since I did.

Thank you for sharing that… And so you are in the UK and I appreciate this comment… Would you please share with my viewers the meaning of that word emulsion ; I know what you mean because I have watched enough videos from England, but if you don’t mind, what would be the equivalent in the USA to your emulsion?
@alexthomson7465 Жыл бұрын
@@spencercolgan Emulsion is general waterbased paint usually used for walls and ceilings. Normally white or magnolia. I think maybe the US equivalent might be acrylic. The wall I did was in France and they seem to call it acrylic here too. So acrylic and emulsion are the same thing I think. They certainly behave the same in use. Hope I haven't misled anybody!

Great video super helpful!! I have some leftover birch ply from a project and want to add a wall paper murals and hang it like large format art. I have a can of GUARDZ already at home. Would that work or should I get the weld bond?

you need to be careful that the surface hasn't been sealed.. with a lacquer or varnish, which means the paper/adhesive is just sitting on it.... it makes it easy to peel off then :)

Does it work better if you prime the wood first?

Could you use shellac to seal the wood?

I just purchased a 100 year old house with ship lap walls that are covered in cheeseclothe and wallpaper. I want to re-paper. Will this technique of wood prep work on this type of wall as well? Would you recommend a wall liner? Thanks.

I removed vinyl wall covering from 1965 bertram bathroom, it came off in one piece to use for patterns. One failed attempt using contact cement over previous coating on the marine plywood . I have sanded off previous coatings to bare wood ,hoping to use Weldbond to seal now, Could you share the ratio to use and recommend a glue for my vinyl coated fabric please. Thank you Pat

Patrick, thank you so much… After all the work you did, I don’t want you to screw anything up… Please just go to the more expensive product which is called GARDZ from Zinser… Please do not use what I suggested here because I don’t want you to mess it up

Can this work on other types of wood like MDF or hardboard?

Yes, as long as you put a waterproof shell on it called GARDZ! Good luck to you. Let me know how it turns out.

I have a 965 Bertram that I removed the vinyl covering from bulkheads in the head,the sections came off in one piece from unknown coating on marine plywood. I used contact cement on first attempt and removed due to bubbling, sanded down to bare . Do you have any suggestions to seal the plywood , and can you recommend a wallpaper glue to lay my new vinyl , that is sold as a headliner has no backing please Thank you Pat
