Wallpapering Internal And External Corners. How to hang wallpaper Painting and Decorating #wallpaper #papercraft #home #how #homedecor #howto #painting #home
I think you’re starting point is not the ideal place in regards of the chimney breast are notorious for not being straight, if you start at the centre of the breast it’s not only easier on the eye but any plum ness can be easily lost in the angle and any bagginess that may occur on chimney corner can smoothed out
@ 34:12 I swear, get a £3 papering spatula and run it along WITH your knife. I just learnt this and it's now how I do 90% of my cuts. Olfa snap-off > Stanley, too. Both revelations for a tenner.
To be honest papers have changed the fiber is a lot stronger. Did have some difficulties with the scissors... and these new paste the wall....wallpapers do seam to cut better using a very sharp blade.
@@PaintingandDecorating Yep - 12.5mm Olfa knife from Toolstation - and watch this 10 second clip from the only other guy I watch on YT: ua-cam.com/video/DFc2mFVFi40/v-deo.html
@@tonyrussell496 some papers don't like blades... they can leave the edge funny and tear some delicate wallpapers.. these new papers are becoming more the norm, I would say the tied has turned on what type of paper you hang.
You don't always start in the middle sometimes it doesn't matter because of the pattern. Some patterns never balance out. So check your pattern first. Thanks
The first piece on front of chimney breast that turned round the side of breast and into the corner of the first wall, did it presumably overlap round that corner (and onto that narrow end strip) - as I did not see you trim any overlap??
One thing I like to do is to have an open dustbin for my offcuts, a lot easier than using a bin bag and no paste soaked offcuts getting on the dust sheets.
so you wrap around the external corner but overlap the internal? other videos do not wrap external, but they do have a +/- 10mm overlap on the "inside" wall, so the face of the chimney is complete paper but the sides are where any pattern overlap problems are less visible.
Top job, not many decorators on you tube actually show external/ internal corners being done, they edit their videos very well. Youve not.so fair play mate. Great job as always.
Why not wrap around the external by a few mm, then re hang and plumb the next length/off cut back. That eliminates those horrid crease and bubbles when you try and go around in one. On a larger return external you'd never have a plumb edge to work with wrapping around in one go. Btw... U tried wickes tub paste yet?
Brilliant job and I'm wallpapering pattern very similar so it's really helped coz I've never done a pattern before and not wallpapered for years so I'm in at the deepens but like a challenge. Your a great teacher and very pro indeed ha! it's been very useful so I'll be subscribing also thank you 👍😇
Is it a straight,half drop pattern ,it's not a random pattern.Very easy to cut most of your lengths before you start.use a roller for speed much quicker.paste three to four lengths at a time before you start hanging.
Thank you, some good information there, don't believe I watched every minute of a wallpapering video and then lost Internet just as you were going to show the completed job, I'll catch it later but it looked good all through anyway 👍
Great video! Well explained! All the proper tools and techniques. Hard to find professional wallpaper installers these days! Really enjoying watching your video. Have you heard of this unique Hyde/Richard gooseneck paint brush? Would be nice to see a video! Cheers! 👍
You don’t have link to your brothers two paper splice that you mention do you? Or can you describe the thumbnail? Had a look through but i cant find it.
That's difficult to answer as both types have good points and bad points... but I always paste the paper anyway because it's the best way to keep paste off the front off the paper. And helps to make it easier to handle the paper. thanks
This video was very helpful. A great job. Not sure if I am up for this task. I think I will re-think my wallpaper pattern so I don't have a melt down half way through my project....
Love all the videos you make! Just had a question about papering over painted lining paper. Is it necessary to apply sizing to the paper before hand? Or can I just go straight on top. The painted lining paper is well stuck and in good condition. Thanks for any advice.
Brilliant video again mate I love your wallpapering ones could you send the link for the video that your brother made which he splices 2 papers around the corner please cheers, keep them coming 👍
Great video as usual. One question.... an exterior corner which carries on a long wall rather than a chimney breast... how do you ensure both sides of the drop of paper are plumb after being wrapped round the corner if you get my jist? Thanks Marc.
Thank you. Depends on the pattern and the type of corner. 90° corner you can go round a little 2to3mm then overlap next length and trim. Bullnose you see how it lies then make a decision deal with the bubbles on the corner or see if you can cut and splice the length all depends on pattern..
By the way, I’ve watched most of your earlier videos and wanted to see you dealing with external corners - luckily I recently stumbled upon this newer video. I like the way you mention minor details that are very useful to those less experienced in wallpapering. (And I’ve yet to find scissors sharp enough to shear the paper as you do!).
I am a professional decorator over 35 years experience and I love watching these videos as invariably I will learn something that as a solo worker (by choice) who although is very good at the trade I am still willing and capable of learning from other tradesmen. I take my hat off to a genuine skilled decorator who is not only a good tutor but seems a lovely guy. I wish you every success and happiness and do not stop sharing your passion.
Now if someone could show me a good technique to paper round an external bullnose corner that's also a slanted ceiling I would be all ears. Seems like it's an impossible job to do without cutting into the paper where the slant begins at the corner, but you lose any hope of making it a tidy job there doing that.
If there is a large gap in the pattern repeat is there any merit in cutting the lengths from alternate rolls (of matching batch numbers) in order to make the most out of the rolls ?
Ah man that first measurement three you out across the whole wall and I feel for you. Personally I always start always start on the chimney breast face and work out and was taught to re plumb after every internal corner just like you showed. It might be worth mentioning to score with the back of scissor before running your pencil. Excellent job though mate good vid
Was taught to work away from natural light. The way the pattern was no problem where you start. Just goes to show several places you can start from and still make a perfect job with this pattern. Thanks
Nice informative video thanks would you have a link to the video you mentioned that your brother did a Splice in the corner, would be interested to see how he does it thanks
@@petea2485 I've been hanging wallpaper for over forty years mate , you start hanging wallpaper working away from the source of light (window) or chimney breast as this is the focal point of room, every joint, top and bottom you use border adhesive, plus lightly seam roller all joints. He's done a good job, just made hard work of it
DB I have to agree with you . I would have worked it from the centre of the focal point (chimney breast). But always good to see how other people do it. 👍
What makes wallpapering more difficult is some of the paper itself some of it is so thin it just tears just looking at it .
Yes but I think papers are changing fibers are different and stronger.

If that was £100 roll hes just lost you 25 quid

Try the 12.5mm Olfa knives, they are thinner and sharper than the 9 & 18mm blades 👌
To be honest papers have changed the fiber is a lot stronger. Did have some difficulties with the scissors... and these new paste the wall....wallpapers do seam to cut better using a very sharp blade.
Where you been...iv been doing it this way for 20yrs far easier than scissors. Just keep snapping your blade every sheet :)

You’re a perfectionist! It looks flawless.
You always start in the middle of the breast wall that technically is making the whole process much harder
You don't always start in the middle sometimes it doesn't matter because of the pattern. Some patterns never balance out. So check your pattern first. Thanks
Thanks for making this video Johnny
Outstanding work. I'm really glad you made this video. Great
How come all the best decorators seem to be from up North....they really do!!
Things are cheaper up north we can take more time and take like easy.
I've been playing with 2-3" for years😂 nice job
Very professional! Myself starting to get more involved in hanging wallpaper and depending on the print it can be very challenging!
The first piece on front of chimney breast that turned round the side of breast and into the corner of the first wall, did it presumably overlap round that corner (and onto that narrow end strip) - as I did not see you trim any overlap??
Mate. I want to meet you and have a beer with you.
One thing I like to do is to have an open dustbin for my offcuts, a lot easier than using a bin bag and no paste soaked offcuts getting on the dust sheets.
When feasible I try and do the same. You do get some strange looks 😂
Agree always put wet or dry off cuts in box or bin straight away
so you wrap around the external corner but overlap the internal?
other videos do not wrap external, but they do have a +/- 10mm overlap on the "inside" wall, so the face of the chimney is complete paper but the sides are where any pattern overlap problems are less visible.
Fantastic job fella as long as the customer likes it is the main thing. Happy New year
Thanks... it's my room lol... just had to pick something..
‘That’s not too bad at all that’
Should be the name of your channel. 👍🏻
Top job, not many decorators on you tube actually show external/ internal corners being done, they edit their videos very well. Youve not.so fair play mate. Great job as always.
Thank you..
He’s making this up as he goes along
Would of made sure the chimney breast was the start point
No need for this pattern. 👍
I know what you mean about pattern but think its easier to work away from chimney @@PaintingandDecorating
At the start of the video you said to avoid narrow pieces and after only your second drop you had one
Yes you will have small pieces but I meant one that is 2 or 3mm in size.. you don't want something to small to play with. Thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating oh I see thanks for explaining
Old school wallpapering I enjoyed the video cheers
Why not wrap around the external by a few mm, then re hang and plumb the next length/off cut back. That eliminates those horrid crease and bubbles when you try and go around in one. On a larger return external you'd never have a plumb edge to work with wrapping around in one go.

Thanks for a great comment glad we can help.
Good video, didn’t need a heat gun to make sure the outside corners lay down? Don’t use one ?
A true craftsman.
What country sir do you live in? England? Ireland?
Not fair some important step is hide waste my time
Using a pencil is an excellent idea 👍👍
I want to come to the uk to work with you for w will man!!!!! Love you’re serious personality
Very good video, very detailed, will help my for next week diy job! Unless you fancy doing the job ??? 😁
Thank you.
Just one more amazing tutorial video. Legends 👍

What's better, paste the paper wallpaper or paste the wall wallpaper?
That's difficult to answer as both types have good points and bad points... but I always paste the paper anyway because it's the best way to keep paste off the front off the paper. And helps to make it easier to handle the paper. thanks

Stop. I love this wall you did!!!!!!
Very refreshing. And back to work.

Top work and I wouldn't disagree with any info here.
Thanks cheers mate..

Thank you... always best to wipe over and light sand.. that way you can check the surface for any lumps. thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating and would sizing be required or is it unnecessary?

Easy... you can only ever hang your paper straight.. anything else is the rooms fault. So nothing can be done apart from choosing the correct pattern.
If there is a large gap in the pattern repeat is there any merit in cutting the lengths from alternate rolls (of matching batch numbers) in order to make the most out of the rolls ?
Only on off set match not on a repeat match. Thanks
Good job 👏🏻
Thank you.
Quality work.
Thank you.
What bib & brace brand are you wearing?
Dulux.. thanks
Professionals don’t use scissors or pasting brushes rollers and snack knives
That’s it as soon as he got a pasting brush out I couldn’t watch anymore

Excellent!
I cannot understand why it is needed to fold the paper before hanging it? I am not dissing it I just dont know whg
Because it makes it easier to carry.
