Thanks gerald, really helped me out this! Just moved out of my brand new flat into an old house with poor walls, and i have a baby on the way in a couple months-you just helped me line her room!

You are the man my friend. Wonderfully explained and demonstrated.

I could watch you day and night, loving these vids. Ive a big lining paper job coming up,wish me luck

Thanks for all your advice, great to see a Profession at work. You have covered a lot of info in one hit.

Nice one Gerard, and totally agree in relation to "Cowboys". Lovely job and well-explained Thanks

Thanks for this. I started wallpapering few months ago and I couldn't figure out what on earth splicing was lol! This cleared everything up 👍

That's exactly how it should be done well done Sir !

plenty of cowboys about you should see some of the cowboy work in new builds they make a new house look 20 years old

very good job as usual Forza 👍

You're right about filling of joints Gerard . I don't understand why ppl do it.

Brilliant thank you! Perfect way to do it 😊

Nice job, you talk a lot of sense. The only thing I would add if you had been hanging wallpaper rather than lining paper and you wipe the past off the window frame with a sponge, don’t then go and continue flattening the rest of the paper with the sponge because your spreading the past around. After I put up the second sheet I go back to the first and wipe down all the edges with a cloth and fresh warm water to remove all the paste, otherwise you can see the reflection it causes when dried. One other trick I learned when hanging dark wallpaper or murals, is to paint an inch wide down the wall where the paper will join with a tester pain the same colour as the paper. Then if the paper parts, you don’t see the light wall colouring through the gap.

Like your work Geard just found your KZfaq Chantal a couple of weeks ago all nice work get more videos up. I'm not getting much work at the minute wee bed room paint tomara

Brilliant video keep them coming Do you ever use the zlnsser bin primer

Nice one mate. I hate working on a price these days. I try my best to not have to give a price .

Great video well explained ,I was wondering how would this splicing work if it’s a paste the wall wallpaper round a window reveal

Just a quick question, do you use Zinsser Guardz to size a painted wall?

Gerard great video , what is the tool you use as your straight edge ? Also what knife do you use ?

Was the piece of paper above the window lined up with the piece below the window? Would have been good to see how upper and lower came together at the other side of the window?

U used much of the crown fast flow satin or eggshell mate?

Great content , what is the name of tool that you use for cutting in. Looks like a large scrapper . Got a room to line so ive got all the correct tools

Hey. Could you maintain a pattern with this style of splice? I feel like you’d loose the paper this way.

Where do u get the too u hold for trimming and whats its calleed

Do u use tutsul for sanding

What grade of lining paper do you use? Love the videos! A painter from the north of Ireland, a real passion for your work 💪🏻

That's wrong you have done it full width, when it should have been lined up with the first drop. You spliced the wrong part.

Hi Gerard, when lining under/for a finish wallpaper, do you line around the window corners (and other external corners for that matter) or do you stop short of the corner bead and leave the actual corner bare? It's just that sometimes I have noticed that having two layers of paper around an external corner can sometimes look a little "lumpy" for want of a better expression. Also have you used the wallrock lining paper (paste the wall?). Many thanks.

Can you recommend what lining paper to buy if you will be pasting the wall. I was thinking of buying wallrock fibreliner but will the ready mixed paste be any good to use or won't it sink into the paper.

I hear what yr saying if any one wants cheap quotes I don’t bother sending keep up the gd wrk 👍

When it comes to “paste the wall paper”, would you still line? and the paste the lining paper?

Hi bud.I got really bad walls.I’ve prepared them the best I can.but I’m going to use 2000 grade lining paper.would you still go on the solvite recommendation when mixing the paste.or because of it being so heavy would you mix the paste thicker like you were hanging vinyl paper?

True mate too many cowboys aiii dead on

Shows you how to paper round a window (ye know) while telling the old 'interior designor' story. Painters are the only trade who slag off their own kind. I've been one for over 40 years and constantly hear this same story about the hero 'getting recommended' and saving the day. (Ye know) The constant gossip and bitching has dented the confidance of a lot of young guys in the trade, imagine being an apprentice an having to listen to that self agrandising all day : the papering demonstration was secondry to the gossip demonstration, that was what he really wanted to talk about. People in general won't pay what a job is worth, so dont blame the tradesman for having to hurry and save time/material where he can to try to make a profit. There are wee fishwives like this at every company in the country...(ye know) Better suited to sucking up to people than making videos ye know.

What the fuck is that knife you're using and why does mine absolutely butcher the paper no matter what I use
