Can I use paste the wall paste to paste the paper instead?
I much prefer to paste the paper :)
 
If the paper is suitable for paper pasting, I'd just spend the extra few quid and get a sachet or 2 of paper paste.
 
It’s only wood chip Nod ;)
Quite porous hence the question.
 
Belt and braces Lee :ROFLMAO:

I'd still use paper paste, although I'm not sure what the difference is! I'd also use proper size (smells like wet dog...) on the walls to make sliding the paper easier.

i have some very gnarly old walls in some roooms of my 1885 terrace

I did not know 'paste the wall' paste existed. I've always just pasted both paper and wall with the ordinary wallpaper paste.

Well you learn something new everyday Dave :)

I recall using wallpaper that you soaked in a bath of water before hanging it :oops: :$

Hire a plasterer is my recommendation and sort the walls properly, then paint if you think the next sale of the home will take place while you are still living. Having bought a house completely covered in "covers every blemish" wallpaper, aka woodchip that was painted with something non-permeable to steam, my opinion is it is an utter blight and were I to move home again the sight of woodchip or similar on the walls (or artex on the ceilings) would make me walk straight out the door during a viewing.
 
I have to agree with the above..... WHY would anyone use woodchip, the bloody stuff should be banned! Useful for starting a fire, but nothing else. I too have suffered the work and stress of a house almost covered in the stuff.....
 
Oh dear!
Most of the walls in our home are wood chip! Overpainted with white emulsion :)
 
A product called Sizing is what goes on the walls before papering.
 
Back in the 70's and early 80's we woodchipped everything as the walls were bu88ered by scraping old paper off, it was most unusual to get a skim of plaster put on as we were so short of money. Nowadays I recommend plastering every time, but having experienced English plasterers using Thistle finish and Irish ones using Carlite, give me an Irish plasterer every time. More work and takes longer, but a longer lasting crack-free result.
