Pasting Lining Paper

You can absolutely paste the wall for your chosen wallpaper over top of the lined surface,

Check if you bought "standard" or "paste-the-wall" lining paper.
Standard Lining Paper: You must paste the paper and allow it to "soak" (expand) for approximately 8 minutes before hanging. If you paste the wall instead, the paper may expand on the wall, causing bubbles and lifting.

Yes, you paste lining paper.
Do not try to paste lining paper by “paste the wall” methods.

Then, once it’s dry, you follow the paste-the-wall instructions for the wallpaper itself.

Yes — you can paste the lining paper.

Lining paper should always be pasted (hung traditionally), even if the top wallpaper is paste-the-wall.

And yes — you can ignore the “paste the wall” instruction when hanging the finish paper.

Paste-the-wall wallpapers can also be hung by pasting the paper instead. It won’t cause any issues. In fact, pasting the paper often gives you better control when hanging over lining paper.

I would always suggest,

Seal the walls first , using guardz ‘Zinsser’ apply in square sections from top to bottom, do not apply like you are painting.

I will always paste wallpaper, when they say to paste the wall , it is because the wallpaper will not expand and also when applying the paste on the back, use the tips of you fingers very lightly , try your best not to leave impressions on the paper because occasionally you will see them on the face.

If u decide to paste wall, make sure to use a light and check if you have pasted the entire section also put the name of the wallpaper in to google, double check what it says on the site.

Do both paste both walls and lining paper, we always do and mix some
PVA with the paste it will help keep the edges flat.

Paste-the-wall wallpapers use a non-woven backing that doesn’t expand when wet — that’s why you can paste the wall directly.

Lining paper, however, is paper-based — it does expand when damp, and if you over-wet it by pasting the wall beneath, the moisture can cause:

Bubbles,

Seams lifting,

Or shrinkage gaps when it dries.

So — if your lining paper isn’t sealed or is very absorbent, moisture from wall-pasting can destabilise it.

You should paste the lining paper to the wall in the normal way. Once that’s dry, hang your “paste-the-wall” wallpaper as instructed (i.e. paste the wall, not the paper). Don’t ignore the wallpaper’s instructions — just treat the lining and top paper separately.

method, as the paste-the-wall instructions are for the top layer of wallpaper. Instead, you can either use a specific paste-the-wall lining paper and paste the wall directly, or use standard lining paper and apply paste to the paper as you usually would before hanging it horizontally for a smooth base.

You can do either but I recommend pasting the paper

Hi,
Yes you can paste lining paper

Yes, you can use “paste the wall” wallpaper over lining paper. Just make sure the lining paper is properly applied, fully dry, and secure. Apply the paste directly onto the lining paper (as if it were the wall), and then hang the wallpaper dry as per the instructions. There’s no need to paste the wallpaper itself—follow the “paste the wall” method as usual.

1. Hang the lining paper: Paste the lining paper as you normally would, let it dry completely.
2. Paste the wall: When you're ready to hang the wallpaper, apply the paste directly to the wall, not the wallpaper itself.
3. Hang the wallpaper: Apply the wallpaper to the pasted wall.

Hi In Response:
To be sure.
+ Lining paper is always pasted on a wallpaper table. To a set length - across the wall.

A pre paste of the wall area in its total amount. Will ensure the lining paper slides snuggly into but jointing the wallpaper together across the wall.
It may seem odd or different to what most would do. "crosslining wall" but it is necessary .

Lining paper is always pasted, not the wall. You apply the paste to the back of the lining paper, let it soak for a few minutes (follow packet instructions), and then hang it.
While paste-the-wall wallpapers are designed to make things easier, you can still paste the wallpaper itself if that suits your process better — especially if the wall is now lined with absorbent lining paper.
In fact, many decorators prefer to paste the wallpaper when applying it over lining paper, because:
• Lining paper can absorb paste quickly from the wall.
• Pasting the wallpaper gives more control and reduces the chance of dry spots.
Recommended Method for Your Situation:
• Paste the lining paper and hang it as normal.
• Once dry, lightly sand the seams if needed.
• Then, when hanging the "paste the wall" wallpaper, you can either:
o Paste the wall, as per instructions, but work quickly so the lining paper doesn’t soak too much paste and dry it out.
o Or paste the wallpaper itself, which many find safer over lining paper.
Either method will work, but pasting the wallpaper is often more reliable when working over lining paper.

You can definitely paste lining paper, even if your chosen wallpaper is a paste-the-wall type. In fact, it's the recommended method for applying lining paper.

Pasting Lining Paper

Yes, you can paste lining paper—but it's typically a paste-the-paper job, not paste-the-wall. Even if your top wallpaper is paste-the-wall, it's best to follow the correct method for the lining paper separately.

So for the lining stage: paste the back of the lining paper, let it soak for a few minutes (as per the instructions), and then hang it.

Once the lining is dry, you can then follow the paste-the-wall method for your final wallpaper.

You can still use a paste-the-wall wallpaper over lining paper

When working with lining paper and paste-the-wall wallpaper, here’s how to proceed for the best results:

Key Considerations:
Lining Paper as a Base:

Lining paper is designed to create a smooth surface for wallpaper and can be used under paste-the-wall wallpaper.

Ensure the lining paper is properly adhered, dry, and free of bubbles before applying the wallpaper.

Pasting Method:

Paste-the-wall wallpaper allows flexibility. You can either paste the wall or paste the wallpaper directly, even if lining paper has been applied.

If you prefer, you can paste the wallpaper instead of the wall, as paste-the-wall wallpaper does not require soaking and won’t expand.

Adhesive Compatibility:

Use the same adhesive for both the lining paper and the wallpaper to ensure proper bonding.

Ready-mixed adhesive or a strong all-purpose wallpaper paste is recommended for both layers.

Recommended Approach:
Option 1: Paste the Wall:

Apply adhesive directly to the lined wall with a roller or brush, then hang the paste-the-wall wallpaper. This method is quicker and less messy.

Option 2: Paste the Wallpaper:

If you prefer traditional methods, apply adhesive to the back of the wallpaper and hang it over the lining paper. This works equally well with paste-the-wall wallpapers.

Paste the lining & size walls and follow the instructions

You can definitely paste the lining paper before applying the paste the wall wallpaper. The lining paper provides a smooth surface and helps to even out any imperfections on the wall, which is especially helpful for a better finish with the wallpaper.

When you're ready to apply the wallpaper, just follow the paste the wall instructions. This means you'll apply the paste directly to the wall instead of the back of the wallpaper. Just make sure the lining paper is fully dry before you start wallpapering to ensure the best results. Good luck with your project!

The best approach is to paste the lining paper and hang it in the traditional way. Then, once it’s fully dry, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the paste-the-wall wallpaper by applying paste to the wall, not the wallpaper.

Make sure walls are correctly prepared and sized.
Always paste the back of any lining paper.

You can paste lining paper as long as the lining paper is dry and sound.. should be no problem at all

Yes you can, but if it specifically says paste the paper then that means that the paper has to be pasted and left for normally around 10 minutes for the paste to absorb into the paper for it to stick to the wall. But if it is paste the wall wallpaper you can apply the paste to the paper or wall.

You should only past the lining paper not the walls as you need paper to stretch or Shrink a bit depending on the quality of the paper, so that it's not doing the above, if you apply straight to walls or Ceilings.
