Can I use drywall "mud" to texture over paneling or wallpaper?
Our family room walls have paneling installed directly to the studs (no drywall underneath).
Then someone has applied a wallpaper liner and wallpaper over it. It is a bumpy, lumpy
mess. We cannot afford to take all the paneling down and drywall it and texture it.
Can I apply drywall mud or wall texture directly over the wallpaper and then paint it?
Or, can I try to remove the wallpaper and then texture the walls and paint?
Any suggestions or other solutions to disguising these walls would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

t.s.p=trisodium phosphate- it is a chemical that cleans and deglosses surfaces for painting its very cheap and well worth it , buy it anywhere you buy paint.
i would still prime using 1-2-3 as keith stated to ensure adhesion,
then i dont see a problem texturing over that- if you do use mud you should paint it for protection once cured-oil flat or eggshell would do
cheers
