Can you paint over mobile home wallpaper?

Yes, -but I wouldn't recommend painting over ANY wallpaper - it's a sloppy, lazy way to do redecoration, and the paint will not adhere as well.


How do you remove wall paper borders?

The method of Wallpaper border removal depends on what the Border was applied on, like painted wall or not, was it applied over wallpaper, and what was used to hang the wallpaper border. If it's on wallpaper, it can be easily peeled off. However, if it's on a painted wall, dampening the lower layer with warm water, and letting it soak for a while considerably make the job easier. You can use any commercial chemical wallpaper remover if the border is a genuine Wallpaper border and is reasonably new. The remover will reactivate the adhesive and let you scrape off the paper with a scraping tool. However the chemical usually won't permeate if the wallpaper border has a vinyl outer covering. Use a perforation tool to break the surface so the moisture can reach the adhesive. Peel the wallpaper border with soft metal or plastic scraper, and not tools like strong metal scrapers or filling knives, which may result in unwanted scratches on the wall. If the Wallpaper border material is fibrous, like paper, you can use a garden sprayer to drench it with the chemical remover, and then remove the remaining residue. Use a wallpaper steamer to reactivate the paste. You can then easily scrape of the paper. You can also use steam removal method for Wallpaper borders. First, steam the surface of the wall. Start from the bottom to the topmost part, one section at a time. If the wallpaper border uses extremely strong adhesive, you may need to steam each strip twice or thrice before removing. Use a broad knife to scrape a strip of wallpaper off the wall, working from the bottom up. And while the adhesive is still warm, scrape each strip of paper. Using warm water and sponge, remove remaining adhesive residue. One decorator mentioned using fabric softener in water also.

Kilz 2 under wallpaper?

Kilz 2 will work under wallpaper as a primer and sealer over new drywall, drywall repairs, or other surfaces. If you are using it as a sizing for your wallpaper, it will work, but is not as good as using a real wallpaper sizing.


Will Wallpaper sizing work hanging wallpaper over wallpaper?

Will Wallpaper sizing work hanging wallpaper over wallpaperYes, but it has been my experience that you will never be fully happy with the results. I always remove old wallpaper prior to changing to a different wall-covering. It just makes for a better finished job. Note: If you decide to remove the old wallpaper I use white vinegar and warm water applying several coats, after removing as much of the "easily" removed loose paper.


Can wallpaper be painted over instead of removing it?

Wallpaper can be painted over, but it's a BAD IDEA. Sooner or later, the wallpaper will peel. When it does, the paint will be compromised and you'll end up having to refinish the entire wall. It's a much better idea to remove the wallpaper. Then, clean & sand the surface before painting. Anything else will ultimately be a waste of time.
