I just want to thank you for your video, wallpapering around a window. I followed it today and the results are fantastic, took me a long time but what the heck. Thanks again you are making a real difference with these instructional videos. Dean 🙂
That is great news Dean, glad to hear you are finding the videos helpful. Many thanks for the positive feedback. Hope all goes well with all your future decorating projects 😊
Well thank you Aubrey for showing how Brit paperhangers do it. I've been a professional paperhanger in USA for 40 years. I've never not wrapped an outside corner. There's tricks if the wall is twisty. After wrapping we plumb next sheet and double cut if needed. I know you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I thought I'd throw it out there.
there is some benefit in wrapping and over cutting. It has the benefit of not leaving the edge of the wallpaper exposed to persons or animals rubbing round the edge and lifting the paper... we see that quite a lot. Particularly prevalent with the thicker papers.
Nice one, You helped me right out today. I’ve been painting for years but never got into the papering.. Until today, I followed your instructions and papered my first small room with a boxing in & a heavy pattern paper, The matching using your advice was spot on, I’m not going to lie my head was blown a couple of times but for my first attempt I was well chuffed. Cheers man
Just checking in from the Isle of Wight Aubrey to thank you kindly for your patient, clear & informed videos. With your help I found the confidence and motivation to finally give the decorating of my own room a good go. From stripping down my previous wallpaper, cleaning and prepping my walls, through painting the ceiling, skirting & door frames - I was able to take time to work in a structured and measured way thanks to your tuition. All I have to face now is my new Paste the wall vinyl wallpaper; and although you don’t have a specific video for this, feel through the advice and tips you’ve shared in other videos, I’m in a good stead to tackle this also… My very grateful thanks to you, here’s hoping you are able to enjoy a wonderful weekend ahead. Sam.
That is brilliant news Sam, I am so glad you are finding the videos helpful. Hope all goes well with your future decorating projects. Have visited the Isle of Wight many times 😊🌞
I am using peel and stick wallpaper right now and needed to know how to do inside and outside corners. You are so clear and concise! I learned so much. I can't say I'm a fan of peel and stick though😂 thank goodness I am using paste the wall wallpaper for the bathroom! You can bet I will be looking for a video from you that explains how to do this. Thank you!
Very informative and a great help for my latest papering job at home. You are a dead ringer for one of my ex colleagues at work so that was a bonus. He’s a nice guy too. Many thanks.
Wonderful video. Aside from watching it to learn how to turn corners with wallpaper, I watch this with a glass of brandy just to relax in the evenings. Aubrey, hope you're well! Love your work. From across the pond.
Thanks, Aubrey. Just the job, havent wallpapered for years and needed some instruction for doing a patterned wall paper, and around external corners... I need some more revision so will look at your other stuff too. Thank you
Hi Aubrey, Great vid, I was taught to hang paper this way many years ago (bout 35-40) looks like we have the same tools as well, I will say though that I was taught to use the brush to sweep the paper round the corner! I got up to 2nd year City and Guilds but couldn't do my third year as the job I had @ the time was drywall partitioning and my boss wouldn't let me have time to finish. Only did decorating for a few years but it was good to see the finished rooms! TFS, GB :)
Hi, shame you didn't get the chance to finish your third year. I expect the skills you learnt through your training has been useful over the years. Yes, it is great to see a room transformed, I still enjoy that side of the job now.
great video orb i am reluctant to hang paper although ive seen my dad do it hundreds of times and he learnt it of his dad. i feel like i should do a proper course this year.
Sounds like your dad`s a very good decorator and good paperhangers are often hard to come by. Let me know how you get on if you do sign up for a course 😊
Your videos are so helpful - thank you! Any plans to do a video about lining papering around Windows and door frames please? That would be terrific. Thanks!
Thanks for the video, much appreciate it. I’m currently doing a chimney breast… and they have flat faces on the corners, with a triangular part at the bottom. Proving to be very tricky! This is my first attempt… so can’t be too hard on myself I guess 😅
Thank you Aubrey. New Year; New feature chimney breast wallpaper project. Watching you gives me the confidence to get on with it. You are always so calm and give lots of useful tips.
thanks man, i'm gonna take on my fireplace and you've taught me everything i need to know, i have my plumb bob. better than a spirite level in my opinion and with my eyesight. you're the man
Hi Aubrey, Why you have added an inch to the left over piece from the right corner drop wall which it was 26 inches left from the remaining first corner wallpapering drop and then you have created a pencil line to level it at 27 inches when you could have used the true measurement of the remaining piece (26 inches) and used the laser level as guide. Thank you, Elkin
Hi Aubrey... love your videos, they are very helpfull. I have a question if you could help please. I'm going to paint a ceiling for my mother, after I use filler to smooth out a crack i think I need to prime over the filler before I add the main coat of paint to the entire ceiling. My question is do I prime over the filler using the same emulsion I will be painting the ceiling with straight out of the tin or do I need to dilute the paint before hand? Hope you can help 🙏
Glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes you will need to apply a thinned down coat of matt emulsion first, approx. 20% with water. Hope all goes well for you 😊
Love watching your vids you make it sound so easy.... 1 thing ive a question about, what happens if the paper is a darker colour? You will see the white back part of the paper if you overlap it.
You can roll it up tight and rub a dark crayon or similar over the white edge of the paper to darken it before pasting and hanging. Glad you are finding the videos helpful 😊
So, how did you get rid of the air pocket at the mid point of the corner of the wall, due to the corner of the wall not being 90 cegree angle? You didn't show that?
How do you paper around uneven rounded corners? I’ve chimney breasts in 3 rooms and none of them are squared off, it’s really difficult trying to make them look decent
Would you use 2 separate pieces of wallpaper like a regular outside corner or use 1 sheet and wrap around the bullnose edge? I have seen both method demonstrated, but don’t know which will have the best results. Please advise!
I've done similar, but cut through both overlapped pieces and removed the waste, ending up with no overlap. Is that also a recognised technique, or is it frowned upon?
Yes it is ok to do this. I often do this myself especially when there is not a match on the pattern as you do tend to loose it a bit of the pattern due to the larger overlap required for the splice.
Aubrey, you would have loved decorating my auntie's old place because it's subsided about 100mm out of Plumb a carpenter came to fit a new front door for her and it was a nightmare for him when you are in the upstairs bedroom and you walked round the bed it felt like you were going uphill these houses on old terraced houses in Ringwood some of them have had the front rebuilt
It is not essential to sand between coats of gloss paint. However if you do want to do this it would be best to let the first coat dry for at least a couple of days and lightly abrade with a 240 grade abrasive.
Thanks. For replying so I can apply second coat over first coat with out de nibbing after 16 hours How do you deal with rust stains on painted render before painting with masonry paint
My wallpaper is so thick I’m having trouble getting it to bend and adhere across the corner. I haven’t been able to find any tutorials that address this issue, and it looks like the paper in this video is thinner. Any tips?
Hello Aubrey please help, I have taken some wallpaper off a wall which had emulsion underneath. The wallpaper has pulled some emulsion off with it which has left ridges on the wall. How can I make the wall smooth to reemulsion
Hi, this often happens when removing wallpaper. First make sure that you have thoroughly washed the wall down to remove any paste residue. My video titled how to treat flaking paint and mould on ceilings explains how to deal with the patches of flaking paint to make them sound and also level. Please get back to me if you need any further help. Hope all goes well for you Doreen.
Great video. Could I ask you if you would do the same with type II vinyl 20oz. I have to do this job where I have to join two different colour w vinyl on the corner. So one wall has the vinyl and when I turned around the corner the other wall, still vinyl but different color. 20 oz is pretty thick. Can I still do this method?
I would suggest overlapping it and splicing it to make your own joint slightly back from the corner. This is because being a thick paper it may stand proud on the corner.

Hi Aubrey,
Why you have added an inch to the left over piece from the right corner drop wall which it was 26 inches left from the remaining first corner wallpapering drop and then you have created a pencil line to level it at 27 inches when you could have used the true measurement of the remaining piece (26 inches) and used the laser level as guide.

How do you deal with rust stains on painted render before painting with masonry paint
Try applying stain block or Zinsser BIN Primer.
My wallpaper is so thick I’m having trouble getting it to bend and adhere across the corner. I haven’t been able to find any tutorials that address this issue, and it looks like the paper in this video is thinner. Any tips?
You could try applying some PVA or overlap adhesive on the corner. The adhesive is strong and may help your problem.
Молодец
thank you.
Are you taking all the paper off the back?
Is this the same process as an internal corner? I've got a chimney breast and TWO alcoves to decorate so wish me luck! 😂😂

Hi. Is it bad practice to splice external corners?
That is fine but make sure you allow at least 8 -10mm to go around the corner or it may keep lifting up.
@@AubreysAbsoluteDecorating any chance you could do a vid on it please
I will add that one to my list.
Paul McCartney hanging Wallpaper,,
Let it be, Let it be
Why not just put a full piece around the corner, then adjust the next length as it reaches the door frame!
That's the way I would of done it as well. Who wants to look at an overlapped edge. Might run out a bit, but as you say adjust it at the frame.
Simply because the technique used is the right procedure.
If the paper falls that way.
The next wall may be no door frame etc.
You utilise the off cut to follow with pattern repeat.
If a full length will wrap onto next wall say 10mm you would put a full width on..
His technique is for all eventualities..
