    you take the risk of moisture from the paste soaking through the previously hung wallpaper causing bubbles. Even primer can cause wallpaper to bubble. Also old seams will telegraph through. Different papers have different expansion/contraction rates that can also cause adhesion problems. Once you prime the wallpaper, removal for the next guy will be difficult to impossible. Do the job properly and remove all layers of old wallpaper first, prep, prime, size and your ready to do a job that will last much longer.

      Charles. You must be a veteran paper hanger. You are absolutely correct my fiend!!!! Let me tell you something my friend, I will not hang vinyl over vinyl on commercial job; the risk that you speak about is too great to take my friend and you are absolutely correct. These people are selling the house and they said Spencer, hang the paper over this! But you are absolutely correct and I appreciate your remark here

      @@spencercolgan Hi, could I ask what to do if the wall is covered with anaglypta wallpaper? We tried to remove it but it destroyed the walls. We did it anyway in the dining room, but the hallway would be a massive job and if we have to replaster it will cost a fortune. The hallway had some work done so some parts had the wallpaper taken off but only the bottom part. I was hoping to put an other anaglypta walppaper over this bottom part so that it would match. Any advice?

      MegaDniela Your Wallpaper is actually one of the easiest to remove. Because it is textured, you can easily open it and expose the backing and saturated with water… Here’s what I would do… I would write down the walls at the seams at the bottom and at the top with warm water with a spray bottle… Then I would do it again, then I would do it again, and then I would do it a third time… After 45 Minutes of wedding this wallpaper, I bet you you would start to have success removing it. Do not destroy your walls with this easy-to-remove wallpaper that you have on your wall… Please let me know how it goes

    Hi Huge fan. Is 999 the same as r35 because my instructions say do not use r 35? Because if I accidentally used pro 935 to prime my wall paper over wall paper should I go back and put 999 over what I already have done?

    Hey Spencer, so, what is your helper mudding over? I'm assuming he is mudding over the old seams and then you will 999 the entire room? I have a 3 bathroom job i'm going to estimate this weekend - wallpaper over wallpaper. Client does not want the expense of removing the old wallpaper. Thanks for the outstanding videos and tips ~ Dan.

    • @spencercolgan
      @spencercolgan  5 лет назад

      Dan. So sorry for the late response. My helper was merging over the drywall that was really messed up; please don’t try to put mud over wallpaper seams; unless you are dealing with very thin wall paper that is actually paper, vinyl is a substrate that is somewhat like a cushion - therefore it is an unstable substrate over which to put mud

    We had a commercial project, a large Hotel of 125 guest rooms where we could not remove the vinyl wall-covering due to the new wall surface had not been sized !
    We had done a previous project of approximately the same number of rooms with the same problem but that time left the vinyl in place, because it had a scrum surface, we had the contractor prime and skim over the vinyl with drywall mud and prime with a PVA,then finished with2 top coats . The only problem came with the outside corners ( yes too soft and the drywall mud was chipping off when guest luggage made contact with. Looking back should have got them to cut off the vinyl 6inch back from the corner as to get at the original corner bead and feather from there.
    Getting back to the 125 rooms. Against my advice I was overruled and told that the contractor needed to remove the vinyl. After that for years our guys would go into a room and repair air bubbles pockets in the wall due to the damage done in removing the vinyl that pulled off both layers wallboard of paper leaving scarred and subject to moisture popping the damaged wallboard . After a several years the problem diminished . Enjoy your style your a great tradesman.

      Thank you very much. I try my best; you said something very interesting. You can put joint compound over vinyl wallcovering? I thought vinyl moves and would never be a solid foundation for joint compound… You can actually put joint compound on vinyl wallpaper?

      ​@@spencercolganCrown wallcoverings. The magic was the vinyl covering had a scrum finish on the top side, thus allowing a "bite" into the surface so after priming the mud would lock into it.The only vinyl that could be removed where the old plaster exterior facing walls with multiply layers of oil paint, it would come off fairly easy there and we wanted it off as if and when we sustained a leak from the outside we did not want to deal with repairing the entire wall and we had a number of failures or issues like that especially on the 3 floors where we had roof and dormers making up the exterior walls. Late 90's to bad we did not have Festool's vacuum dust extractor and wall sander attachment then..that damn drywall powder lingers. To think that vinyl was on for 10 years and we went back to painted walls with custom wood appliques mouldings.

    Hi there I am looking to wallpaper over existing wallpaper that has been painted in matt acrylic paint. It is well stuck down to the wall. Should I just paint all the walls in primer/sealant then I can paper? Thanks!

      1. Make sure that there are no air pockets anywhere. If there be any, cut out, plaster, and prime first.
      2. Prime the entire surface with a pigmented primer. There are several you can use. I recommend this one:
      PRO-977
      Ultra-Prime® Pigmented Wallpaper Primer.
      3. Hang your paper.

    Wallpaper in *NOT* paper. It's vinyl with a paper backing so the glue has something to adhere to. That old paper clearly wasn't installed properly and in a humid bathroom no less. Going over it again it will continue to fail. As a homeowner I can see some practicality in this quick and dirty method but professionally there's really no excuse.
