How To Hang Lining Paper On A Chimney Breast 

I've been painting and decorating over 30 years and every day is a Learning day good job

Nice video! Good job! I always enjoy lining, very satisfying! With the trimming, I have a selection of taping knives to hold the paper in place and minimise the danger of tearing. As a decorater of 30 years, I really enjoy your videos!👍

It’s easier to use a flat caulker to smooth paper down . Plus you can cut any excess of using the flat caulkers edge

The care you put in to the videos is equal to the care you put into your work, and that's saying a lot. Always a pleasure to watch and I always learn something. To this day, though, I'm not sure why lining paper goes on horizontally? Oh - and any tips for cutting out existing bubbles and filling them would be cool - I have a technique but I'm certain it could be improved! All the best to you both.

Always a pleasure watching your very helpful videos. Learning a lot from you guys. Thank you for all the time you put in to these to share your skills and knowledge. Cheers from a regular viewer!

You should have shown how to fold the paper like the way you have it done after you pasted it .. Little things like that is important for us novices.. Thanks for the video. 👍

Hi P&D. Great video just 2 questions; is 1000 grade a good general purpose paper and what filler would you use? Caulk or ready mixed fine face? Thanks

Will the dark patch show through on to a white painted finish ? Great videos mate 👍

Top job as always 👍🏻👍🏻

I love your videos, this has been so helpful. How do you aproach a bedroom chimney breast where one side goes up on an angle towards the loft - tried to paper one about 30 years ago and just keep painting over it! Thanks

Pure quality. Happy days.

Hello sir don’t you mind me asking but if you build a timber framed house does that mean painters would be out of job because there would be no walls to paint or would there be and what about bricklayers. Would they be out of job?

Another great video again mate 👍

Very helpful. Thank you.

Hi, Great video. can I ask if you can show two things, one setting up your work place with dust sheets and any other protection, and second can you show when hanging wallpaper say around a chimney brest what is your chosen method to correcting paper that has curved or bowed on the butting up after turning the corner. Keep the excellent videos coming.

Can I ask please. If lining two adjoining walls do you do the corner the same as wallpaper or just do each wall separately and possibly fill down the corner? Thanks and love your vids.

Thought you might have stuck a few more clips up before you got to this stage. Good clip showing the correct way, the spirit level might be a bit contentious if only hanging 4 strips ,unless the picture rail was bowed.

May I ask with the breast and returns is it best to go horizontally and the recesses vertically? Much appreciate Feedback TIA

Brilliant! And which filler to you find works best?

On 19 mins I'm sand the corner then pull the side piece away you can the move it I independently from the front piece and it leaves a nice edge because it freys in the right place. You have to put the right pressure directly on the corner.

When the corners are really bad I sand the corner when the paper is wet then it followers the shape of the corner then I do the same with the insides of works really well then you can tear away the excess and them trim.in the corner

Nice job

Don't you use a mirka or festool to sand your walls down or are you still doing it the old skool way ?

I had terrible trouble with going round external corners with Fibreliner and it not sticking. Any tips??

Great vid,great info as usual 👍🏼 When you said you had pre cut and pasted four lengths of paper, would that not effect soaking times ie the fourth piece would’ve soaked a lot longer than the 1st piece? So lets say you have to soak for 10 mins wont the 4th piece have soaked a lot longer than 10 mins by the time you come to hang it? Sorry if its a daft question 🥴😂

What area (ish) are you from? Accent is driving me and the wife mad placing it

Nooice!

.👍

Why not hang the lining paper vertically & avoid the need to face fill the joins, especially as it’s being emulsioned & not papered? 🤔

You should have shown us what to do when the corner is well out, it’s easy if it’s perfectly square and that happens never
