Great.. What I do is with that type of pattern is I work off two rolls at once.. To reduce the wastage so like one roll would be an even roll and one roll would be an odd role then you don't have to waste so much to match the pattern.

Great to see an old school Scouse painter and decorator I remember being on site down Dingle way years ago in the 80s to be precise painting the new builds great watching and seeing you using the old school approach. I still use the edge of the scissors to mark the ceiling line rather than use Stanley blade as I find the blade can go blunt and drag the paper which annoys me. Ain't done this work as a trade for years but am toying with the idea of doing small domestic jobs again.

Spot on. Defo need skill and patience with wallpapering. Everyone says they can wallpaper but doing it in someone’s house for £120-160 a day is a different story. When I did my apprenticeship I could only learn at college. Me being a typical young teenager didn’t take much interest in it because I got told I would never need to do it by the company was working for. 15 years on work for myself and wallpapering is starting to come into fashion have to turn jobs away because don’t want to risk it. Wish I had of paid attention at college now 😂
@PaintingandDecorating2 жыл бұрын
Yes that was the same for me.. although I had watched my dad and knew what to do.. working at the first company doing my apprenticeship we weren't allowed to paper only paste. Then one day working for another company I was doing kitchens on a a council estate, and was asked by one tenant could l put up a wallpaper boarder. Anyway Clark of works took pictures and then I started to snag all the other jobs on the estate. Then one day I was asked if I could paper.... well heart in mouth I said yes sure... told to bring my papering gear next day.. taken to a nursing home and told to paper the reception area.. all stripped ready to paper.. he said right there you go it's been papered twice and Clark of works failed it twice. Well I just shrunk and took a deep breath.. three days it took me working around people still working.... thankfully it got passed. Then I had to go round lots of jobs putting the wallpaper right... gives you a lot of confidence. I was thrown in at the deep end but luckily I knew how to swim... thanks

Get yourself a laser level, your methods are old , spatulas are ok as long as there are no nibs etc as the brush wooden part can sometimes hit the wall when the bristles collapse, especially when losing grip, or a clean low pile or sponge roller is good too, just don't press too hard , you dont need to tbh
@PaintingandDecorating Жыл бұрын
You're wrong why waste money on a laser. I bought one and don't use it because it's rubbish for decorating. Also never use a spatula if you want a professional job doing. Not old methods just correct methods. You will learn eventually that new ideas are just to sell products. Thanks

Regarding spatula to flatten paper etc i always use now & as long as there smooth on edge & plastic it's perfect, did a job yesterday that way, much better, the wooden part of the brush can sometimes catch paper if not careful, never happened to me but can happen , the spatula also pushes out any bubbling in paper as it sits completely flat on surface unlike bristles which are individual, 38yrs exp & counting, each to there own but your methods are old & you wont beat a laser level for straight lines fact

Thanks for these videos really helping me out. Have you done one about papering around an external corner as well as I cant find anything anywhere. I am about to approach an external after papering around an internal using your method I plumbed a line and its really straight I thought I would ask you would you just come around the corner or would you come round by 5 - 10 mm then overlap slightly then match right up to the edge of the corner and use border adhesive. I am using a pattern paper but its a marble looking pattern not large pattern. Do you think its best to measure up to the corner from my last line then add 10 mm, bring it around the corner then match up the cut ( there is a light switch involved as I come around as well but another story there). Wallpaper measures 530mm it could wrap around the corner and do the light switch but would it be hard to do. What would be the best option its doing me head in !!
@PaintingandDecorating5 жыл бұрын
Thank you... not sure I've done one on external corners yet. But your paper needs to be plum.. allow paper to go around corner then make sure edge is plum... sometimes this can leave small bubbles up the corner... nothing you can do generally.... your lucky if your corner is straight.

Thanks for reply we tackled it in the end and in general were really pleased for a first attempt at wallpapering. We had to overcome light switches x 2 Double plug x 2 , bathroom fan switch two internal two external corners and a burglar corner sensor and two door frames all on one wall 😢😢You made it look so easy we took ages 😂 and nearly divorced. Only real error is I can see a tiny 1mm overlap now partly down the seam but we can’t do anything now as it’s dried overnight which is only thing that’s stopping me celebrating. At least we saved £90 thanks for taking time to share your knowledge I know how hard it can be to keep updating these videos. Well done true pro all the best to you 👍 so hard to cut paper with a craft knife as well kept catching and ripping even using a metal edge that’s really annoying as well.

As always, a great video and incredibly helpful. I’m guessing then you always start in a corner to be able to plum line both bits but what’s happens on the 2nd or more corners if papering a whole room? You could end up with a small strip? Am I being stupid or is it just a case of trying even harder to match it up? I feel like I should send you a crate of beer or bottle of wine to say thanks. Both of you that is
