Hi All,
My first post on this forum so be gentle with me
I have a problem which others have posted on this site i.e. the first coat of emulsion blisters because it was not thinned enough when painted on new plaster
Having tried several suggestions posted here like sealing with pva, B.I.N, oil based paints etc I have decided to use lining paper on an otherwise perfectly flat wall.
My question is how to finish the lining paper at both external and internal corners?
With normal papering you take the paper around the corner by 1/2" and then scribe in and cut the next drop. The problem with this is that you inevitably see the overlap.
As the paper is to be emulsioned is it acceptable to scribe in both drops to an internal corner and hope that the paint covers any slight discrepancy?
As for external corners I only have a chimney breast and a 9" pier so was hoping I could fold the drop around the corners and just butt the next drop up to it accepting that it might not be perfectly vertical.
Any advice would be appreciated.
