Filling and painting lining paper.

[@community-first]

Thank you.. loved the two fill joint advice, saves sanding and makes sense.

[@Inexteriors]

Thankyou for watching, You will need to sand it lightly after the 2 fills,Not much though if you fill it cleanly

An absolute master painter & decorator 👍🏻 fantastic work, and demonstration of how to decorate your home 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for sharing. Got to start my living room now 🙈👍🏻👍🏻

That's very kind of you, Thankyou for watching.

[@derekwhitaker4905]

As a decorator for over 40 years I’ve always hung lining paper that’s going to be painted vertically! I’ve found if you hang it horizontally and even fill the joints then the paint tends to ‘sit’ on the joint and will open it as it dries! I personally butt joint my paper thus avoiding having to fill any joints at all and that will save you time and money. Everyone to their own I suppose but it works for me!

[@Inexteriors]

Thankyou for watching my friend, like you say we all do things different.

[@Stacy-hc6gv]

Hi Derek I also butt join but I always get gaps when it dries is there a way to avoid this?

[@derekwhitaker4905]

@@Stacy-hc6gv You must always make sure you paste the paper evenly and especially right to the edges. Also let it soak for the appropriate time. Lastly make sure you size any absorbent surfaces before you apply the paper. This will ensure the joints won’t split. Good luck 👍🏻

Im about to line the walls in my hallway and paint them after. I didnt realise the paper needed filled prior to decorating ( im learning as i go as need to do my house on a budget)

[@Inexteriors]

You can coat it up, then fill it, then touch up the filler, then coat up again. Make sure when you fill, you fill cleanly so it's easy to sand. Also, use a filler that sands easy so when you sand you are not damaging the paper.

[@ChrisLivingInYork]

Going to be doing the exact same in all 3 bedrooms, but want to know before I start is it best to paint the skirtings and door frames before lining and painting or after.

[@Inexteriors]

@Chris watts . I do the woodwork when the lining paper has been hung and finished painting, i might prep and undercoat the woodwork inbeetween at times.

[@ChrisLivingInYork]

@@Inexteriors thanks for the replying

[@SteveBlakey]

I always roll my first coat before cutting it in it makes a hell of a difference in the time it takes to cut in

[@Inexteriors]

When i have massive amount of walls to do, i would do the same. i get what you mean brother.

[@Turtleh3ad]

Why do you do this pal?

[@Inexteriors]

@@Turtleh3ad why do i fill the joints do you mean buddy.

[@Turtleh3ad]

No mate, why roll before cutting in?@@Inexteriors

[@Inexteriors]

@@Turtleh3ad J6st sometimes when there is a lot of walls to do, and you are on your first coat, and your in the rolling zone, its good to keep going, when you are on your top coat i will always cut in and paint a wall at a time.

[@discomarly]

What do you suggest please I have lining paper my whole hall but have bubbles here there and everywhere how to get rid off them is it best cutting into them and applying more paste or will that not work or crease the paper

[@Inexteriors]

As it just been lined or as it been lined for years.

[@psycheinc-theSLC]

Great videos - I am going to subscribe. I have a little area that I need to remove the wallpaper, sand and then paint rather than put up new wall paper so I will be using your channel to help me through the process. I am determined to do it myself. Thanks for the awesome videos. You are so clear in your explanations - just wonderful. Thank you. Psyche aka Psyche Thompson 🌹

[@Inexteriors]

@Pcyche . Thankyou very much, and thanks for your support.

[@toptube4u]

Any reason why you stuck the liner horizontal vs vertical?

[@Inexteriors]

Just how i was taught. it is the way to do it if you was putting wallpaper on top of the lining paper its called cross lining.

[@lornamanning3130]

Brilliant 😮thank you.

[@Inexteriors]

It should be fine, 2 coats is always needed, unless the walls are still look in good condition and are getting painted in the same colour as before, light can show up all sorts of things, nothing is ever 100 percent perfect lol. Thankyou for watching.

[@JJJones-o8b]

Wot paint did you use plzs

[@Inexteriors]

It was Farrow and Ball, Colour was called Amonnite, in the estate emulsion.

[@lornamanning3130]

Quick question …the contractors have put the lining paper up on one wall. I’ve noticed I can still see darker marks through the paper in certain light. It’s going to have 2 coats of white paint will that be enough to stop the marks from showing through? Thanks

[@zakdaud142]

How much can you charge for stripping filling sanding lining and then painting a typical room

[@Inexteriors]

About £1400 and more depending on room size, also other thing to consider are, how hard is the paper to strip, how much prep do the walls need when stripped

[@worldofhood]

Hi great video, is there a particular type/grade of lining paper to use if you are going paint over it

[@Inexteriors]

i use inbetween 1000 grade and 1200 grade, Thankyou for watching.

[@Martinh91]

Great videos! How long should I waiting before filling the joins in the paper?

[@Inexteriors]

About 16 to 24 hours.

[@mohammedabusayeed3429]

Do you apply primer to the lining paper before paint?

[@Inexteriors]

You can give ir a watered down coat of paint first, i never have to be honest.

[@RaGazz4]

Hey Steve great video as always! I need some advice here please. Recently bought an old Victorian flat with tall walls same as in this video yay lol. It screems redecorating(as old buildings do) so we decided to do it ourselves. The bedroom has been lined wallpaper and painted over but I noticed the wallpaper is coming off in some corners of the room and has yellow spots, now I'm stuck whether to remove the whole wallpaper and re-wallpaper the whole room with lining paper or take the easy-bodge step to just glue it back with some wallpaper adhesive. I know removing the wallpaper will result in more work repairs and potentally ripping off the lath and plaster(oh god hopefully not lol) so, if bodging is my only option here - Can I use white silk emulsion on the existing lined wallpaper thats been painted over? or do I need to start from scratch by removing the old lined wallpaper? .....Many thanks!

[@Inexteriors]

Sometimes it is not worth taking of a good base for the sake of some of a few bits lifting, they can be stuck back by weting the paper and sticking with overlap adhesive. not sure about the yellow spots they might need stain blocking. what colour is on the lining paper now.

[@RaGazz4]

@@Inexteriors yes I thought so. We need more investigation about the yellow spots, I'll double check.. The colour seems to be a Matt pale green almost sage colour 😵

[@Inexteriors]

@@RaGazz4 Give it 2 coats of a good quality trade white matt emulsion first, the 2 coats of a good quality trade white vinyl silk, that should get you there. Johnston's trade paint supplier is a good shout.

@@Inexteriors OK I will try 🤞🏽 many thanks for the advice! 😁

[@lornamanning3130]

My property is old and I’m having my walls painted. They took the old paper off and the some of the paint. I can see the marks through the lining paper and I’m now worried that they’ll still show after 2 coats of white paint. They’re professionals however I don’t like what I can see. Hopefully it won’t be too bad when it’s dry.
