Always enjoy watching, 38 years decorating and i am not too old to learn new tricks, expanding foam for one. I always use ready mixed paste for lining now, never a problem. It used to be solvite, then solvite with PVA, now tub paste. Keep up the good work.

4.20 am and I'm literally watching paint dry.... And enjoying it!!! Strange times.

Can't beat watching a Craftsman at work

Great video fantastic job stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻

Thanks for the detailed video! Very useful 👍🏼

I know this is four years old now, but thank you. Great video. Painting my lining papered walls tomorrow with a lot more confidence now. ❤

perfection as usual from you 👌👏👏

Very nice job mate, love the filling paint mix too nice one

We have used the tips you mention in the video to correct some problems, great that the hints and tips work very well and helped us to sort out some very bad problems leaving a very good finished refurb. Many thanks for sharing.

Great video guide and tips. Hope to be able to follow it through on my own project .

Simplistic wee job carried out to perfection as always. great video mate. 👍🏻👍🏻 keep well. 👍🏻

Perfect as normal

Thanks for the great job. Can I ask a question? Do you let the hard stop dry + sand before the final coat or do you paint over it straight after applying?

Love that filler mixed with paint tip!!

Beautiful mate. I miss working! Love how you use a specialist glue for a loose bit, then just some paint later on - it's all about the crafty details. I learnt to cut out any bits of grit under the paper - had a terrible drop once that I had peeled off the wall and re-stuck - loads of grit. What a mess. Will try your hard stop mix. I always use the lightweight acrylic filler for almost everything these days - but it will flash on lining paper. I always do picture rails first because I struggle to cut that lowest edge of them cleanly otherwise! Wonder if anyone ever told you there's an ASMR quality to your vids.. very calming.

hi there another great vid... my lining paper already as filler between the joints but not a good job :( can i part the joints as you did and scrap out the old filler. then do as you did with hard stop ? thanks

Very useful video. I had a crap painter do my livingroom walls. Basically he didn't fill the gaps before doing a final coat. How many coats can the lining paper take, is there a limit? Thanks for your help

Great lesson learned

been asked to do a repaint on lining paper, can i get away with trade emulsion through an hvlp sprayer....? ive only put johnstones quick dry through it before which is pretty thick but i dont want to risk putting too much moisture onto the wall and having the paper bubble up.

Great stuff.

Used loads of you little tips to do my living room today ive really improved

Good job bro

Some great advice thank you

The filler mixed with paint tip is top!

PLEASE CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT ROLLER SLEEVE YOU ARE USING THANKS 👍😁

Is that a mist coat your making for first coat?

Hi mate dunno if this is cheeky or not but are u able to say what ballpark u priced this job in? Cheets

Grt vid but does it make a difference about vertical or hoizontal hanging of lining paper if only painting it pls?

Is it better to use lining paper or to get the wall replastered?

Is...is that woodchip on the wall that it's butting up against? 😯 (great job as always)

What do you do if some of the paper overlaps? Cheers.

Wallpaper paste back in the 1980s wasn't that bad. I never used to have edges lift. For lining paper which is never likely to want removing if you do it properly, I add 10% PVA. I have far fewer problems with that mix.

Will the lining paper bubble after painting.

Filler mixed with paint, well I never, have also been wanting a water base gloss to try so gonna try this one

I wall ask you about this issues. firso of all sorry about my English, i´m Antonio form Portugal. I have some walls (drywall) with liningpaper. I have paint the first wall and after painting appears bubbles , just after painting. Is this normal ? will disappear after drying ?.....?!?!, thanks

Hi mate, great video. I noticed you re use your scuttles and I’m wondering how you manage to get away with re using for each job without cleaning? Any tips here would be appreciated as I currently use liners but have tried to re use scuttles in the past and then after a few rooms the scuttles ends up peeling on me.

Brilliant again - I'm going to tackle my first attempt at lining paper on my walls - Can you recommend quality scissors for me? Thanks again.

Hi. Wondering if/does the wall sweat behind this lining paper stuff as no airflow? Thanks.

Help me out gents..... ASMR??? Top tips as usual. Haven't gotten around to the hard stop yet. Why do you not use a flat roller tray? First rate bruv. Best Dave

Thank you, this is very useful! Quick question, I am moving to a flat which has painted lining paper and I am planning to repaint it with a different colour, is this video still applicable? Any preps I should do before hand? Thanks!

I had trouble sleeping ...real bad insomnia ..then i listened to this guy ....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!! boom

where abouts do you operate?

I will use the filler tip for sure 👍

Great video thanks

Great video, I just have a couple of questions. Why do you add water to the first coat and do you cut in again for the second coat of paint. Thanks.

Great vid again. Tried this technique for hiding joint lines. I can still see them prior to applying second coat of paint, is this normal? Or Will the next two coats of paint hide them?

Just a quick question the paint in the filler is that to prevent flashing and does it work for soft sheen and silks aswell

Do you have to use thined coat on lining paper or can you just put the desired paint ?

Question..If you apply the paste to the paper. Will that cause it too expand on the wall and overlap as it weren't pasted enough in the first instance? Thanks

Hi I love your videos, my dad taught me how to paint and he sadly passed away. I've taken over his company (one man band!) But the current job I am doing, the lining paper has blown and they don't have the budget to strip the paper and line it again...should I cut these bubbles out and then splay it off with filler? Thanks in advance

Noticed that you used Leyland paint is it a good paint because there are lots of mixed reviews !

My house is old from 1930s the plaster has lost of hairline cracks to many to rack out and fill I've had to rooms reskimed so far but it's expensive so instead of reskim would it be better and cheaper to use lining paper?.

My go to lining paper is always 1200 grade as opposed to your 1000 sir! I always line vertically when I’m painting it and I find the joints never split! Also lining vertically avoids the paint sitting on any dodgy joints and opening them up if you’ve lined horizontally.Works for me.

can you use vinyl silk on lining paper ?

what if the underlying wallpaper has crakcs in it?

Bit late to see this video, but u do it totally different to me,cross linning doesn't hide the seams,and them lifting shunt be happening,once walls are fully prepped size the walls leave to dry,drop hang the paper like normal finish paper using ready mixed glue no seam lift at all,leave 2mm gap in seams leave paper to dry,paint walls in white ,like a mist coat,fill 2mm gap in seams then sand,paint white over sandeď filler, walls done perfectly and ready for top coats in the chosen colour

Can pva be used as substitute for border adhesive

I’ve don a first coat and had one bit that had a slight crack in joint , did the hard stop with paint , let it dry , gave a slight rub down , then painted my second coat , but now I’ve got more joint cracks appearing, what am I doing wrong … thanks in advance

Wouldnt a thin skim coat have been better on that wall with so many imperfections and not being flat? I suppose its what the customer wanted?

how much cheaper is it to reline rather reskim walls?

You don't have an apprentice working with you?

😎

i've had an absolute nightmare with decorators i've ended up using your videos to try and salvage and fix their work off of your videos. I'm in liverpool if you ever fancy helping i will pay all costs to come haha.

thanks for the filler tip.

Don’t understand why you haven’t prepared all your woodwork before anything else?

If you are based in Manchester can I hire you please

40 mins long! 😳

Thanks

Poxy lifting edges, nothing more irritating.

I've seen many slow painters in my time but this man is the slowest. So much time spent on cutting in and so much excessive and unnecessary brushwork and roller useage. How long did that first wall take to cut in and Roll? 'd not like to pay him on T and M.

What a bodger,obviously not enough paste on the edges of the lining paper,it would of been helpful to use a roller on the joints but then peels back an unstuck joint and then sticks it back down with emulsion paint,if this is the work of a so called time served qualified painter he needs to seek further training.

Is it possible just to leave a 1-2 mil gap on purpose and fill and sand it before/during painting ?
