Wallpaper and Wallcoverings
Can I skim coat over this drywall???

R

rjohnboyle on Jan 31, 2019

So I jumped into the DIY hobby but deciding to remove the wallpaper in my mom's bathroom. It was built it 1977. I pulled the wallpaper using water-vinegar solution off one wall and the wall was perfect. The other wall had imperfections, discoloring and maybe glue or adhesive? My question is can I just skim coat the damaged side or do I have to cover it with new drywall? Also since it was built in 1977, is there a risk of asbestos in the wallpaper? Is this vinyl wallpaper? Thanks.
