Mudding A Wall Liner
Have a customer who wanted wall liner hung over top drywall. (there was wall paper and they did a piss poor job of removing it.)
I've never hung wall liner before so I did a little research, talked to a couple local guys and then hung it up. I let it dry then mudded the seams. Half the seams held and the other half bubbled and the mud cracked. My customer has NOT seem this mess yet. Should I seal the wall liner with primer then go back and mud it or lift the seams and glue it down first? I do NOT want to tear down but if I have to lift every seam and glue it down I will. I just don't want to waste my time and make a bigger mess of it. This customer has given me a lot of work and I want to make this right. Any ideas? |

Re: Mudding A Wall Liner
I'm not familiar with the wall liner you used but do you think a product like "Guards" will penetrate through it and lay it back down?
I've used it on several job's and it worked well. Advertisement |

That is a very useful suggestion. I'll give it a go and post how it went.

Re: Mudding A Wall Liner
How did you get the job fixed?
Did the Guardz soak through the wall liner and into the paper? |

Re: Mudding A Wall Liner
Hey,
Finished the final coat of paint the other day and everything held in place. My client is very happy. The extra adhesive did the trick. ![]() |

Re: Mudding A Wall Liner
I would NEVER suggest to anyone to mud wall liner unless it was already sealed with at least one coat of paint that has cured.
I suppose there is a trick to it, but new wall liner is very moister sensitive, the seams can not be over lapped or butted right up against each other; they need to have a bit of a gap between them. Advertisement |
