  • If you think about it, all I really have to do in this video is draw a straight line 21 inches from the deepest recess of the corner, but I show you the issue with the ins and outs of the crooked lind.
    To make it really simple however, all you really have to do is put your laser line at the right edge, which is the number of inches +1/8 “ (whatever that number is) from the deepest recesses of the corner to the right, and you will have the right edge of your wallpaper.

    Thanks for this video. I'm trying to wallpaper an accent wall in my closet; and the angles in this "historic" (aka old) building are making this "simple" project a lot more than initially expected. As always, love your instructions.
    Love your videos! Thanks so much!

    Hello Spencer! Thank you so much for all of your videos. They are beyond useful! I was wondering if you have any advice on negotiating a crooked corner that is behind a large iron waste pipe with not enough clearance to get my hand behind. My assumption would be to use your reconciliation process from your other crooked corner video on the adjacent wall as soon as I have clearance from the pipe, which would be unfortunate since it's also the focal point. I also need to skim coat first since there is 160 years of wallpaper down to the original plaster. I have watched your skim coat videos but they were covering texture or drywall. Should I use the same lightweight material you used or the level 5 you used for the plaster and lath crack repair? Then seal and wallpaper? Thank you again!!!!

    Sorry Spence.. that's 20 5\8ths
    Not 5\16ths
    5\16s is just over a quarter inch. You are over a half inch. So.. either 9\16ths or 5\8ths was the measurement.

    • @spencercolgan
      @spencercolgan  2 роки тому +1

      So sorry when I said 3/8 of an inch I meant 3/16! I don’t know how I got confused during that but please ask me more specifically what I was talking about because I don’t remember doing this but you are correct, I messed up; let me just tell you the idea is this you draw a plumbline after the corner is close to the corner as your pattern will allow trimming the panel on the way as least possibly; that is the idea and so your plumbline will be only as far away from the corner to allow you to make the
      Paper street while trimming away the matching pattern as least as possibly.
      After you trim the least amount of pain on the way, the rest you have to do is easy: just make it straight in and 1/8 of an inch in order that your newly trimmed piece overlap the adjacent wall from which you were coming with the wallpaper there should be 1/8 of an inch overlap in corners that is what I meant to say

      @@spencercolgan that's okay, as long as you got the right measurement for the widest point between your plumb line and the corner. Great videos, not too rushed or heavy going. I'm about to do a full room in Anaglypta so I'm trying to learn fast!

      Yes you can see it clearly being 5\8ths
      He said 1\2"... Then it got bigger.. and said 5\16ths.
      5\16ths is less than a half
      5\8ths is more than half.
