I’m sorry but I disagree when I paint I don’t like any gaps shown it’s untidy if the socket needs removed it’s not a big deal to chaulk around the socket again if it’s a finish paper I tuck the paper behind .

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 I totally get not seeing gaps. You’re right , it’s unsightly , but, somethings have to be expected and also accepted in life!!. Tbf . You’re going to have a gap round it when you tuck a finished paper round it anyway . This btw is not a critisam . It’s just how I was taught at tech ... many many years ago😱. I like watching how different decorators go about there jobs👍. Hope your getting a well earned Xmas break. Are you based in Ireland btw?

I no your not being critical 👍 I’ve learned we all do things differently. Yes I’m in Belfast you based in 🇮🇪

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 no pal ... Huddersfield in the uk . Have you struggled to get materials during this disastrous year?

@@stephenevans1833 I hav nt had any problems thank goodness the first lock down back in March was a problem but after that everything good.

Especially if your going to emulsion the walls I definitely would put new lining paper on 👍

There's no need, but if you've not done internal angles with a slight over lap, you may prefer to run a caulk edge down to make it look better, then it also depends how you feel the top edges of skirting is looking you could just whip a fine caulk bead over them to seal the edge in, If I'm papering over lining paper, I will more than likely caulk all the edges, as when using a straight edge and blade it makes it easier to cut into the softer caulk than into plaster that may break away under the blade.

Hi 1200 grade

Hi robin a lot of paperhangers make the mistake of pasting to many sheets the way I work I paste 2 sheets hang 1 then let the 2 no 1 soften so no need to rush👍

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 Thanks Gerard ... very helpful. I’m one of those DIYers where even with the most straightforward jobs, you can guarantee something will go wrong! 😊

Nice to help Robin but I always say quality no quantity always take your time enjoy what your doing & let the magic happen 😂👍

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 magic? You are clearly unfamiliar with my work 😂😂 thank you so much again 😊

Hi you need to apply 2-3 coats of emulsion to have a solid finish

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 do you mean just plain emulsion, will it cover ok over vinyl emulsion, I have already put about 4 coats on it now 😱

To be honest it really shouldn’t be patchy especially after 4 coats even 2 coats of vinyl are Matt emulsion should be enough over lining paper we’re you using a quality roller & brush & quality paint for the job

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 Thankyou for your suggestion, greatly appreciated. I will replace roller and also wait until spring to reapply yet another coat. As well as rubbish roller that it is, further inspection tells me it’s only patchy on the radiator wall. Hopefully fingers crossed this may be the solution. Thankyou again for pointing out an obvious problem I overlooked.

It’s actually expensive pine fitted by fitters & not stuck to the wall it’s a small guest room for my costumers guests 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

How much? Cos from what I've seen it's fuckin extortionate

@@McGeezle How much for what

@@clintmannion5598 yeh I probably should've specified. How much to plaster (skim?) a 30m² room

@@McGeezle Would take my m8 a day 200 pounds all in i would charge more to prep all the walls fill them then size them then line them easy 300 pounds to do that

@@clintmannion5598 ye I got quoted 450 by someone
