Wallpapering on plastered walls

Question

Should I seal my plastered walls with PVA glue before hanging wallpaper?

Sanjar · Accepted Answer

By priming your walls with either an acrylic, alkyd, or PVA primer, depending on the surface type, will ensure your wallpaper adheres properly to the surface without damaging the wall. Primer creates a barrier between the wall and the paper so that the adhesive doesn't overly bond with the wall material

Just size the wall with paste that always works for me

You need to seal the plaster first, so a light wash with 70% paint mixed with 30% water .
Once dried,  you can then paper.
Some people prefer to livne the wall with lining paper and some are happy with the paper straight onto the wall.
Always paint surrounding walls and ceilings  pre papering .
I hope this helps

If the walls are fresh plasterd yes you should, the pva helps seal the plaster and the pasted paper will just sit on top of that then

Hi,

The correct procedure for new plaster is two choices, first use a watered down solution of PVA glue and paint on with a large brush, second is to size the wall with a watery mix of wall paper paste or size, leave to dry for 24 hours and then ready to paper. Hope this helps you out.

Cheers.
