    great stuff. like to see how you hide the joints so well, a good quality paper helps,

    Nice work, only thing I would have done differently would be to abrade the paint above the skirting.

      Yeah, I go around all the walls with some use sand paper just to take anything off that may have got under the paper.. also a bit of key to the overspray.

    Hi Phil, I can't see one of your videos that deals with wallpapering into a window. Have you made one?

      You mean the piece at the top that always seems to be missing?
      Have a look in the playlist for wallpapering.. I'm sure I've covered that.

    I like to wipe woodwork with a dry cloth after the wet sponge, sometimes the paper as well otherwise water marks can be left behind

    • @ProfessionalPainterDecorator
      @ProfessionalPainterDecorator  2 года назад

      If your water gets over dirty from paste, it can leave residue too
      The sponge I have is very soft and we'll rung out it's very nice to use.
      It's not left any water marks. I wouldn't leave any thing in new woodwork.. the blue would show up stuff like that.

    Nice one Phil...when you picked that knife up, after marking the corners, I thought 'no, oh no, he's going to slash the socket!...noooooo'! Hahahahahaha...I did it once as an apprentice, slashed a brass switch, looked like Zorro had been in town!....cost be 50 quid to replace it, leaving me 20 quid for the job!...lesson learned!.

    Not so easy going round sockets using glued, wet wallpaper. Has a tendancy to tear.

    • @ProfessionalPainterDecorator

      same principle... apart from the face of the socket gets paste on it. Loosen off the socket all the way helps pass it through the cut hole though, if you can get it through.
