Great explanations in these videos! I did this before I sold my father's house about 10 years ago; the original owners had wallpapered right over Sheetrock so peeling it would have been disastrous. It's also useful if the wallpaper is covering up messy patches. I like to put fiberglass over the seams and paper edges first though, then a couple of thin coats on the fiberglass and no skim coat if the paper is smooth; a little less work that way.

Many thanks. I think I'll go with the oil-based per your recommendation (; the walls are at least 30 years old). Very nice video collection!

Sir, can you comment on using the water-based Zinsser Cover Stain?

[shannon902]

I would only use the water based cover stain for newer walls and ceilings because it will not block stains like they say it does.

I have redone a few jobs because it allowed stains that you couldnt see to start with to bleed through

if the walls are less than 3 years old, you could probably get away with waterbased primer, but if they are older or even if you suspect at all that there may be some staining, then use the oil based primer, you never regret it, thanks

When removing my wallpaper I tore some of the top layer off in some areas. How do I fix that right? Any video?

[UnoMatador]

Good job, thanks for your advice!

i'm from the uk and i don't know where to get the sheetrock from.

it is a joint compound, right?

can i use joint cement or joint plaster instead?

thanks

[shannon902]

@Infinx26 I think over the pond you call Plasterboard what I call Drywall or Sheetrock.

You should be able to go to a building supply and tell them you need a joint compound for plasterboard and they'll know what your talking about.

I would'nt use cement i dont know what joint plaster is because over here what we call plaster is a very hard surface that cant be sanded and is outdated in the construction industry.

Hope this helps
