This is the best, most straight forward, most practical DIY video for this I’ve found. Thank you

I have a super old laundry room that needs this badly and I had no idea a liner was even an option!

When you pull any nails one screws sand! Get rid of the bump left from the hole I think this is the best video on covering paneling.

It looked beautiful, just like finished drywall, thank you! You were excellent!!!!👍👍👍👍👍💕

I like this idea better than filling in the grooves with joint compound and having to do all that sanding. Does the paper actually cover the grooves and leave a really flat surface, or does it get slightly sucked into the groove so that the paper is not completely flat?

Excellent video! Thank you so much for being thorough and not talking too slow. I think I’m going to give this a whirl!:)

Wow wonderful idea. I have what’s called a Florida room in the front of my house. It’s all paneled and I used it for plants and an extra guest room. This is something I really need to try! Thanks

I love you Al! Now I just have to rent a giant ladder for my 16 foot walls and convince my husband we can do this.

great idea with old wood paneling… cheap too… thanks

What a blessing! Thank you

Thanks for covering all the bases.. It almost seems like I could do this, lol.

Tried it based on your recommendation - turned out to be a really bad idea. Partly because the paneling install was not great - a lot of effort to make the paneling edges even. Most of the extra work came from trying to fix the paneling grooves that show through the paper when painted. It would have been much easier to pull down the paneling and deal with the mess left on the drywall. Your video is well done, but for me at least, it is based on a faulty premise.

Aunt Jenny's picture!!! 😂😂

Don't you have to rinse the surface after using the tsp (or substitute) and before applying the sizing? I'm hoping not.

Definitely going to do this with a new rental.

Wow Looks great

How to repair a hole in the wall? I have panel in our garage. Thanks

If the walls have been painted do you need sizing?

Hi, great video. Can you use stain on it?

How much does this cost?

How do you layer the paper where it meets another strip? Or is there no layering at all? If so, how do you manage to get the edges flush?

I filled all,the cracks with mud in my whole home …only to find several cracks that i cant fix….the paneling must have a tiny gap behind it…ive sunk in so many staples with a gun the house got heavier..!😁😁😁so i may do this on those walls instead!

I like the vintage paneling!

Seems like a lot more work than just painting the paneling

How does it age please? Any issues to think of in advance? Tx

could i use spackle to fill in the grooves before applying the strips?

Does it bubble up after sometime as groves are not filled?

This is so neat, I wish my husband knew about this

i have this wood panel in my basement. should i still use this?

What about the seams on the paneling? Won’t the paneling come apart if I take those down?

Can I tile over this?

Can this method be applied to paneling that has been painted?

What exactly is the sizing?

Why not just pull the paneling off

I did it with the Stodoys plans.

What you dont talk about is the cost of doing this vs the cost of caulking or just painting over it. Why is this? I think that it is cost prohibitive, but you wont mention that.

Don't do this. You'll be sorry later. Maybe even sooner.

I prefer to build with Stodoys plans.

This screams to me, to be problematic. Notice it’s mostly women commenting. Just drywall over it.

That looks like shit😂😂
