so helpful! those sanding noises gave me major shivers though D:

[@sds709]

This is the texture on my walls and I'm about to try this today. Thanks for the tip on running the blade along the wall first to knock off any pointy tips. I believe the next step before wallpaper is primer, right?

[@Ydnis.nedsma]

I wish you would have linked the I do for the materials you used. Great video 😊

[@chookchack]

Sht, i have to do this to my whole wall.

[@neaks713]

Shouldn't you water down your joint compound so it's a little easier to spread?
Also, you should wear a mask when sanding joint compound, especially above your head!!

It actually wasn’t so hard to smooth them out like. This

[@hounamao7140]

how long did it take you ?

Thanks for the tutorial.

Super helpful! Thank you :)

Love this, thank you! What would you do if you want to smooth stucco? Our kiva fireplace in the living room is stucco and would love if I could do it myself but feel so intimidated!

Is there a video with the actuall wallpaper installation?

[@Thankstoallah351]

Hey great video !

[@joyvalles76]

What brand of joint compound did you use?

[@AndrewJohnRevell2017]

Love, love, love!!

[@melissaalhezayen4108]

you should prime the wall before hanging the wallpaper

[@bethfeeler3307]

That’s what I thought. none of the questions are answered Or am I missing something ?

[@TanyaOwens]

If I have to "skim" my flat textured walls, it will be better for me to paint and stencil.

[@guyua86]

Thanks

[@shondahtlc]

Where is how to hang wallpaper?

[@Gendo3s2k]

Fuck it. I'll paint it!

[@vernblack5200]

I mean your not wrong. It’s just proof that anyone can do drywall

[@YoungBlaze]

yikes wtf is that carpet?

[@karmenpass2134]

Why dont you just sand paper off the texture, then wallpaper

[@mstinamichele]

It would take too much time and the dust from sanding is horrible. I have textured wall and I sanded my son's bedroom down. Not to hang wall paper, but to have a smoother wall as I hated the texture on it. It was a big pita to sand and the dust was all over the place. I couldn't even get most of the texture off the walls.

[@Mikkstersshot]

I put this in 1.75x and his talking was still so slow lmao

[@paulortega80]

Omg too much work.
