Paste to Wall Prep
Hi, have wallpapered many times using conventional wallpaper that you paste and hang, Have now been tasked with hanging new style paste the wall wallpaper. Not a problem in the application, just the preparation. The existing old 'paper comes off a treat but there is lining paper underneath with a lint like/peach fuzz texture now the original wallpaper has been removed. Please advise the best way to prepare, should I wipe with water and vinegar to remove the 'lint' - should I then seal with water/PVA (would love recommendations of ratios if so)?
I would like to keep the existing lining paper (even though it was hung vertically) to save time.
(First post- be gentle with me please).
Thanks in advance

Thank you Marker, that answers the question regarding the liner paper.
Do you have any suggestions regarding the necessity of a PVA / water seal, and if so what ratio?
Many thanks in anticipation - LondonPlane

Hi Marker, it's just that I don't want the paste to wall paste to be absorbed into the liner and the paper not adhere properly...
Appreciate your help Marker, hopefully someone else can advise re seal priming?
