Prep wall after removing wallcovering
Hi, will be removing the wide fabric backed wallcovering tomorrow and from what I seen today it's going to come off easy, now if I was back in the UK I would just sand,fill and hang lining paper ,but on this job the guy want me just to paint it.
So is it a case of trying to wash off most of the glue (with what ??) and then seal whole area with 123 and fill where neccesary then 2cts of the finish
Regards D/B
