yea he is I learnt a lot off of him i been decorating for 5 years now and decided last yr to go Exeter college to get the qualification as it will be handy for the future i just won apprentice of the year which I was really pleased about .
Thanks for the demo! It was very informative. I install wall graphics and vinyl at work but wasn't sure if I should install my own wallpapering at home. After watching this I definitely feel more confident and am excited to try it out!
yea mate def will do I work for skinners at mo but think I may b out of a job in April if they loose the contract with the council plus I fed up with painting council houses all the time. and if you have the work next year I would defenately be interested
Would you still allow an inch or two at the top, even if: 1) There is no coving at the top, and 2) Even if the pattern is a free match design? Thanks, Pete.
Thanks for this Rob, I'm giving wallpapering a go for the first time today and it's been useful watching this. I'll comment back after I've done it. Cheers.
@@korgscrew2000 still working on it. Struggling with cutting the right lengths of roll. It’s taken so long they discontinued the pattern I had so had to start again a few times. Don’t worry though, I’ve not forgotten to get back when I do finally finish.
Good idea to do a speeded up video. So many videos on UA-cam are self indulgent and drone on and on. Thanks great job. PS can you use mix your own paste?
Yes. Regular drops of lining paper I will paste the paper. But with very long cross lining or lining a ceiling I now soak the paper with water and paste the wall. All pasting the paper does is expand the paper. Water does the same thing and just wet paper is easier to handle than paste covered paper.
@4evafishing Hi, as long as you follow the manufacturers instructions, then stretching on the wall, and gaps in joints should be very limited. Personally the main disadvantage for me, is I find it difficult around sockets, frames, and corners. Mainly because unlike normal paper it won't stick in place for you to mark for your cuts. That said it is quite a clean method and as you can see, it does still give great results.
Hi Rob! Nice video! I have a question, do you need a laser or anything to make sure the vertical line of the first panel is straight? Thanks. Cheers from Bali, Indonesia 🇮🇩
Hi Rob im decorator by trade also and I have a new house to do with 6-8 metre high ceilings in the main lounge which is all done in wallpaper so this way may be a lot easier as this paper has a white backing unlike prepasted papers. Thanks Shane.
Hi Thanks for the informative video. I have a problem for you. I have used the paste to wall paper wall liner and the paste to wall solvite. This all went well. When I came to applying the main paper to the lining paper, with the paste the wall solvate, the main paper bubbled up with really big bubbles and no amount of smoothing worked it just moved the bubbles around. Have you a solution for me. Thanks.
gruppenfuhrer a bit late I know,but don't paste the wall on paper that should be pasted. The reason being is the paper is designed to soak up the paste and will slightly enlarge as it absorbs the paste. It will only be a couple of millimetres but it would create horrible uneven joins. I hope this helps.
I have a painter and decorator in at the moment and he's trying to wallpaper an exterior wall. He's pasting both the wall and paper, but the wall seems to be absorbing the paste. After 3 days he can just peel the wallpaper off as if it's not stuck. Any ideas?
An exterior wall ? Really so its outside . ????? Most walls should have a thick coat of paint primer preferably oil paint before the application of wall paper . It slows down the paste absorption and aids in giving movable slip to the application. It also makes for a hard grip-able surface for doing double cutting when hanging commercial grade vinyl.
@4evafishing Well done on the award mate, I also won it back in 1999- Stills makes me smile today ! Get in contact with me if your ever looking for work. Cheers Rob.
can you tell me why i keep getting bubbles in my lining paper and why when i use a metal straight edge and stanely blade to cut top and bottom.. the paper rips?? chris
Use a fresh razor blade , sometimes paper gets :raggy: and you need to chang your blade often. Also if your wall knife you are cutting against isn’t tight to the baseboard or ceiling the small gap gives the paper to not cut as needed
First of all, you should never paint woodwork before putting finishing paper up, woodwork is done last, doors then skirting, although they are okay to undercoat, secondly, you should avoid trimming the top and bottom of the paper with a full width straight edge, if the ceiling is out, you will have uneven cuts, always trim with a shorter spatula. Apart from that, it is a good job.

You always bring fresh ideas, love it!
Great video and music choice!
I use a roller to apply the paste Rob. Its much quicker and more even. cut in top and bottom and around door frames.
yea he is I learnt a lot off of him i been decorating for 5 years now and decided last yr to go Exeter college to get the qualification as it will be handy for the future i just won apprentice of the year which I was really pleased about .
Thanks mate, I would have never thought about matching the pattern on the paste board, TOP TIP, Thanks
Thanks for the demo! It was very informative. I install wall graphics and vinyl at work but wasn't sure if I should install my own wallpapering at home. After watching this I definitely feel more confident and am excited to try it out!
what do you think of paste the wall paper ? I never used any as of yet... surely it would stretch on the wall and push the joints up.
did you wallpaper your cave using this way?
yea mate def will do I work for skinners at mo but think I may b out of a job in April if they loose the contract with the council plus I fed up with painting council houses all the time. and if you have the work next year I would defenately be interested
Nicely done. I'm used to putting the paste on the back of the wall paper. I'm trying this technique this time.
Yeah but only if the wallpaper is the correct one for "paste-the-wall" techniques
Would you still allow an inch or two at the top, even if:
1) There is no coving at the top, and
2) Even if the pattern is a free match design?
Thanks, Pete.

Makes it look so simple. Might now pluck up courage to have a good. Thanks for tips.

You mean go on like the comments? ;-)
Does any pros out there know if with this type of paste the wall paper, if you can actually paste the paper please. Would it matter
When u paste the wall first. Can u use any paste. Cuz its said about special paste.
use a roller to apply the paste to the wall. quicker and easier to spread paste evenly.
Yeah thanks, the video ids a few years old, we now now use a roller.
Rob Gardner I was using a roller in the eighties!
probably the last time I used a pair of scissors aswell,
Thank you Rob - great help to a beginner like me :)
Can this process,, pasting the wall be used for a high grade lining paper Rob??
Yes. Regular drops of lining paper I will paste the paper. But with very long cross lining or lining a ceiling I now soak the paper with water and paste the wall. All pasting the paper does is expand the paper. Water does the same thing and just wet paper is easier to handle than paste covered paper.

Great video! Hope it's as easy as you make it look!
Can I ask, how long did this take you in total?
Hi Rob im decorator by trade also and I have a new house to do with 6-8 metre high ceilings in the main lounge which is all done in wallpaper so this way may be a lot easier as this paper has a white backing unlike prepasted papers.

yea it defenately looks good i think you were my old boss's apprentice years ago, Trevor Gray?

Don't paste the wall, paste the paper,
@4evafishing yeah that's right, 1997 to 2001 I think. A good paper hanger himself.
Great video - thanks for sharing
what about expansion of the wallpaper??
can you use paste the wall paste to hang paper that says paste the wall paper ?
gruppenfuhrer a bit late I know,but don't paste the wall on paper that should be pasted.

Size or prime the wall first, let it dry completely then hang paper, all GOOD decorators know this
Verry nice instructional video. Plesant to watch and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Bloody hell!! You move really fast! And I mean REALLY FAST!!!😁😆
Probably buzzing from the fumes of the "paste the wall" wallpaper paste lol
Nice demo mate 👍👍
Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Nice video

can you tell me why i keep getting bubbles in my lining paper and why when i use a metal straight edge and stanely blade to cut top and bottom.. the paper rips??
chris
Very good. You kissed the corners though :(
What happens when u try and trim but the paper is damp and it snags and tears the paper? 😬 This has happened to me so many times
Always use a new blade or scissors.
Use a fresh razor blade , sometimes paper gets :raggy: and you need to chang your blade often. Also if your wall knife you are cutting against isn’t tight to the baseboard or ceiling the small gap gives the paper to not cut as needed
good work
Thanks Toby

MrIknowbest2 i disagree. All paint should be done before paper, as you risk tearing the paper when masking off
Mine came out horrible
Good video, horrible wallpaper
Oh jeez this looks like a man's job! I thought the paste the wall thing was supposed to be easy, I can't do spirit level? Measure
That's gaudy wallpaper
I could barely concentrate on what was being said with that horrible music playing.
