How To Put Up Paste The Wall Lining Paper

Applying lining paper to your walls before decorating can be a great way to create a smooth, even surface for your final finish. Lining paper is a thick, paper-based material that is designed to be applied directly to the wall. It can help to cover up imperfections in the wall, and it can also make it easier to apply wallpaper or paint.

There are two main types of lining paper: paste the wall and paste the paper.

Paste the wall lining paper is the easiest type to apply. It is pre-pasted, so you do not need to apply any paste to the paper itself. Simply wet the wall with water and apply the lining paper to the wall. This is a good option for beginners.

Paste the paper lining paper is a bit more difficult to apply. You need to apply paste to the back of the paper before applying to the wall. This type of lining paper is more durable than paste the wall lining paper, but it is also more difficult to apply.
