How to hang paper around a window

[@richat1691]

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!

[@jada8270]

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

[@jaberchowdhury1094]

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

[@beverleycombley-canham1321]

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

[@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714]

No problem Beverly 👍

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

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

[@kevinclark1002]

I have never fully butted joints using lining paper when going to Emulsion walls, reason being if walls are old with hollows etc if you butt joints there is a good chance when paper is dry you will get quite a few overlaps which as we all know is not what we want. I leave a 1mm gap, first coat walls and then fill highlighted gaps, rub down gently, touch up and final coat. Perfect joints and perfectly finished walls. ( or ceilings)

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

[@AMMO1981]

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 👍

[@georgecclifford8235]

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

[@MrJremington]

You made a easy job very hard, also you made 3 extra cuts instead of 1 double cut at the top right corner to the top to the ceiling line.

[@styreetgang562]

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

[@TerryManthorpe]

Great job but why not take central heating bracket off? Two screws ?

[@johnnyoldskool6504]

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

[@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714]

Hi around the window is actually better as the wallpaper isn’t soft to splice.

[@grahambrown5874]

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.

[@AndyHunting-kj5do]

If there's finished paper hang lining horizontal

[@stuartmcintosh7187]

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

[@stuartmcintosh7187]

Sad thing is some of these numpties are maybe bashing out a room in a day on quite a high price for that day but cheaper than getting us in for two days. In some cases they probably earn more than I do in per day but yet I am more expensive to the customer. They get caught out in the long run when they don’t get customers for life

[@Rvdbarnes]

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?

[@cglees]

Brilliant thank you! Perfect way to do it 😊

[@briandavis8939]

Like your work Geard just found your KZbin 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

[@PBLBFL]

very good job as usual Forza 👍

[@nevertime75]

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

[@TheOlzee]

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

[@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714]

If done the right way with a pattern paper you definitely don’t lose the match

[@TheOlzee]

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 ok thanks, I’ll have to figure that one out then lol love your work 👍🏼

[@markcrotty5910]

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

[@richyo6412]

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

[@deemdoubleu]

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.

[@mikehunt8926]

True mate too many cowboys aiii dead on

[@SUKIE6]

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

[@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714]

Painter MCCARTAN 👍cheers. 1200 grade

[@derekmccabe2790]

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

[@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714]

Derek mccabe I agree Derek on this job like many others I’m going in after cowboys redoing the work & the costumer is out even more money 👍

[@ChrisLivingInYork]

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

[@mikehunt8926]

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

[@stuartmcintosh7187]

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

[@KCBRYAN_1525]

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?

[@richardowen2159]

Hey bud,I always have a squirty bottle of water,and dampen the lining paper,helps a lot,saves a bit on soaking time too.

[@AndyHunting-kj5do]

Get a decent plasterer in first us decorators can't perform miracles

[@SUKIE6]

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

[@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714]

Painter MCCARTAN hi mate definitely I feel all round better job.

[@mikehunt8926]

Do u use tutsul for sanding

[@hardworker8030]

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.

[@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714]

Hi when using wall rock lining paper if your pasteing the wall definitely use a ready mixed adhesive but not a heavy duty one.

[@hardworker8030]

@@gerardoneillhandpaintedkit9714 Can you recommend which paste is not heavy duty.

[@sachinvara5103]

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.

[@MrFilimn]

It doesn't matter on this because the walls are being painted so there's no pattern to match.

[@monkeyface6139]

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
