Wallpaper Heavy Duty Wall Liner Lining Paper Covers Paneling and Cracked Walls

My house was built in 1900 and has shiplap walls. The boards are imperfectly aligned after 121 years of the house shifting around so I needed a liner to create a smooth surface for wallpaper. First, I thoroughly dusted the walls and applied a clear water-based primer and let it dry/cure for a week. Next, I applied a thick coat of wallpaper adhesive to the wall before applying the liner. It will not adhere with a thin coat. I overlapped the edges to prevent lifting without worrying about the seams showing through because the wallpaper had a lot of texture. I again let the adhesive thoroughly dry for a week. Last, I applied the thickly textured wallpaper with a normal amount of adhesive. The liner didn't wrinkle, bubble or 'unstick.' The wallpaper adhered to the liner perfectly. Neither the wallpaper nor the liner budged when I painted the wallpaper. If you are going to use a thin, light wallpaper over the liner, I recommend using a white primer because the liner is not opaque.

This works really well for us. It takes some practice using it but as long as you are generous with the glue and use a plastic scraper to adhere it to the wall it works great!

Went up easily but didn’t cover as well as I had hoped. Does look better than the paneling but some grooves still show. If I was to do it again I would sparkle the grooves first then paper

I am so happy with this wallpaper liner. Our house is 100 years old, and the half bathroom has plastered walls that were stamped to look like tile. In addition, there was a lot of cracking and areas past owners had tried to fix. I was looking for a DIY project to make it look nice without a complete redo. My mom suggested wallpaper liner which I had never heard of. This was very easy to install for my first solo project and really smoothed out the walls. I applied my wallpaper on top and it looks amazing! The lines from the fake tile are not visible at all. Two thumbs up!!

I used this wallpaper liner for two projects. On the first, I covered a prominant orange peel textured wall to turn in into a chalkboard wall. I did one layer horizontal and then a vertical layer, my chalkboard wall is amazing! For the 2nd project, I am covering wood paneling and doing the same layering technique. This paper is thick and easy to work with. I made sure to book the paper after applying the adhesive and the wallpaper was easy to place and reposition as needed. Not only would I buy it again, I already have; a few times.

It’s a basic wall paper liner. I’ve used much better and thicker papers that will truly cover gaps and other imperfections better than this product. It’s fairly think as papers go but easy to put up with paste. It Did paint easily and well. I just don’t think it covers imperfections well enough to recommend.

Used this when we steamed off not only the wallpaper but the plasterboard underneath!! My husband patched the holes and we put this over the top. Worked brilliantly and we painted over it, the wall is super smooth. Note…use lots of paste, and I mean lots!

This paper worked exactly as advertised. We used it on our laundry room ceiling as a base layer for a decorative wallpaper. The ceiling had leftover openings from old light fixtures and a fan, and this liner provided a smooth, clean surface. I would definitely recommend the Wallpaper Heavy Duty Wall Liner for projects like this.
