Lovely work chaps.

[@ayrish24]

Cheers Chris and co 👍🏻

[@davidtaylor4975]

Nice to see some of the older guys getting some love! Great quality of work as usual. A&E seem to have some tremendous tradesmen working for them, and they aren't afraid to talk in front of a camera!

[@BuildWithAE]

Chris is definitely a natural 😁 Thanks for watching. All the best, John 😊

[@JonathanJarrold]

Another great video. Very natural in front of the camera. Very well described. Making it look easy!

[@BuildWithAE]

Awesome, thank you!

[@michielrotterdam3846]

I’m a painter in the Netherlands and we do this a lot. We pull the paper through a machine that apply paste to the paper. It’s way faster and you get a nice even coat. But the guys that applying it are two amazing craftsman when almost don’t see the seems 👐

[@chrisfoster5098]

Yes michiel, I know the Machine you’re talking about I think for this small job it’s not worth it but for hanging 40 double rows it might be worth investing in in one. Thanks for the kind words take care Chris

[@Nathanjackson23695]

Great video and some amazing tips am doing a job soon for a friend on doing lining paper and over lapping the paper and cutting it and also using a roller will save so much time thank you for your hard work keep it up

[@Lloyd1885]

Nice video, plenty of info for the beginner, why didnt you take those 2/3 top sheets above the door all the way to the corner though?

[@barringtonsmythe3464]

Nice one Chris. Another A and E Pro 👍👍👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks Barrington! Have a great evening 👍

[@michalkedsierski2623]

I like the idea of ​​tape around the table. we learn all our lives thanks 👍💪

[@BuildWithAE]

Glad you've learnt something new. Thanks for watching. All the best, John 😊

[@Lloyd1885]

You need it on those tables, the metal strip is proud and can easily damage the paper.

[@justjacqueline2004]

Just more artisans with amazing skill making very difficult jobs look easy.A&E has only the best colleagues with Chris and Roy.

Thanks Mac, take care 👍

[@bobmartin5101]

Great video guys. I am very good at wallpaper hanging (Self Taught), these pro tips were great for me to watch. Thank you. My standards are a lot better than a lot of the tradesmen i have had working in my houses. (May have just been unlucky with them). Keep up the good work. More of these instructional videos please. Respect to A&E for great content quality.

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks for watching Bob. Good to hear that you're enjoying our videos. All the best, John 😊

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

You roll paste onto the length underneath? Double pasting/soaking it.

[@Hew.Jarsol]

The thermal grahite liner, which side does the grey bit go on? Wall or outter? Thanks..

Niceone lads

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks for watching Jake 👍

[@RustyRecovery]

Hi. Do you leave a small gap between the edges of the sheets of paper. Ive put it up before with little or no gap and when painted the edges seemed to expand and became very noticeable ?

[@chrisfoster5098]

Hi RR , No we butt joint all lining paper, if you soak the lining paper for the correct time and size the walls correctly you shouldn’t have a problem. Hope that helps cheers Chris

[@stuartibbotson7179]

thanks

[@AJ-ds5gf]

i think you should have explained what 'cross lining' is. I had no idea what it was until your video, but I googled it. Never realised that it's usually used like an 'underlay' for wallpaper.

[@casaytompkin2550]

Can I do two layers of lining paper. The first layer there's still some bumps on wall. How do I stick it if so thanks

[@casaytompkin2550]

Just to clarify how do I stick lining paper on top of lining paper. I can't use wallpaper paste can I ?

[@johncunningham5799]

INTERESTING VIDEO GOOD TIPS ,IF ONLY IT WAS THAT EASY

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks John 👍

[@liamjohnny335]

I was taught this way as a lad... who'd of thought it was the professional way...nice job...common sense stuff

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks Liam. Glad you enjoyed the video 😎

[@jamesmcdermott7465]

I think these guys are a couple of chancers.

[@joshlehan8057]

You can tell Chris has done that once r twice before 👍👌

[@BuildWithAE]

He's definitely done it a few times 😉 Thanks for watching. All the best, John 😊

[@jetskibuh]

I bet most of the work went in the day before prepping the walls.... 90% of a job is prep. Great to see craftsmen, decorators should be the best payed on a job,but never are. 👍🏻

[@BuildWithAE]

It's true, preparation is always key. "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" Thanks for watching. All the best, John 😊

[@jetskibuh]

Build With A&E 👍🏻or the 6”p’s”😂

[@BuildWithAE]

😂😉

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

If just painting over is there any benefit to hanging horizontal vs vertical?

[@chrisfoster5098]

Good question I would say yes because if you paint over it after hanging then in a few years you decide to paper the room you will not have to strip it hope that helps Chris

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

@@chrisfoster5098 Definitely, cheers!

[@Lloyd1885]

Easier and quicker most times. A little less waste too.

[@jimbobalob2491]

Best to hang vertical when painting over, if you hang horizontal, the seams start to open up because of gravity.

[@lewisbutterfill1072]

Not my sort of video but it’s nice to learn some new tips

[@BuildWithAE]

Can't beat learning a few new tricks of the trade. Thanks for watching, have a great day Lewis 👍

[@joedefloat7802]

Chris what brand of paste do you use. tidy work work🚬🍺

[@BuildWithAE]

Hey Joe, it's Solvite paste. Take care and thanks for watching bud 👍

[@Brown969]

Do you still "size" the walls prior to lining? Thanks for the roller tip -- using that one!

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Nathan, the day before the walls were filled, rubbed down and sized. Great to hear you'll be utilising one of the tips. Have a great evening, take care 👍

[@mohammedsaadrafiq8072]

Does the paper not tear when trimming it to length into the corners? I commonly have this issue as the paper is wet with paste so doesnt take the stanley well

[@chrisfoster5098]

Hi Mohamed only in the corners at the top and the bottom you may have an issue if that’s the case go near the corner and then finish off with the scissors thanks Chris

[@mohammedsaadrafiq8072]

@@chrisfoster5098 Thanks. It's happened in the middle too. Any idea why that might be?

[@chrisfoster5098]

Mohammed Saad Rafiq You need to make sure the paper is tight in the internal ,keep the caulking board tight in the corner too,make sure the blade is really sharp press down hard and bingo .hope that helps cheers Chris.

[@mohammedsaadrafiq8072]

@@chrisfoster5098 awesome, thank you very much.

[@peterfriel5129]

Gosh look at the size of them skirting boards !!

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Pete you need skirting board ladders to paint them 😂 all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week

[@derekt7606]

Well done. I will throw away my brush.

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks Derek, it's great to hear that you've learnt something new. All the best, John 😊

[@TheOlzee]

Hey. Why didn’t you just crossline all the way across that wall rather than having to add the two extra pieces?

[@ianm1470]

Great tips you made that look easy ~ which it ain’t lol

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@jimbobalob2491]

You shouldn't cross line if you're going to paint it because the seams will eventually open because of gravity. Cross line when papering over and vertical when painting over.

[@TheSmithyt]

Why didn’t you line into the corner ??

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi bud, it was a very long wall which our scaffold wasn't long enough for. There was a door at either end of the room... so we went to the two frames on the end and then did the infills as you see in the video. Take care 👍

[@Zoltar1811]

Probably quicker to just skim it

[@gordoncunningham6650]

Paste is obsolete ready is the best,and you don't need a 9inch roller,fg amateurs .
