FAQs
What is Anaglypta Lining Paper used for?
It is used as a base layer on walls to create a smooth, even surface before painting or applying wallpaper. It helps to cover minor imperfections and provides a better finish than decorating directly onto plaster or plasterboard.
Can I paint over this lining paper?
Yes, this lining paper is designed to be painted over. Once the adhesive is dry, you can apply your chosen paint, typically in two coats for the best finish.
What type of adhesive should I use?
Use a good quality, ready-mixed or powder-based wallpaper adhesive specifically recommended for heavy-duty lining papers. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
How long does the adhesive need to 'book'?
The 'booking' time (allowing the adhesive to soak into the paper) varies by adhesive. Always refer to the instructions on the adhesive packaging for the recommended duration.
What are the available roll sizes?
This Anaglypta Lining Paper is available in 10m, 20m, and 40m rolls.
How do I clean the finished surface?
Once painted, the surface can typically be wiped gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water, which could damage the finish.
Is this paper suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it provides a durable base, it is generally not recommended for areas with high moisture or steam unless properly sealed with a moisture-resistant paint finish. Standard living areas, bedrooms, and hallways are ideal applications.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles or air pockets appearing during application
Ensure the adhesive is evenly spread and that you are smoothing from the center outwards with a brush or roller. If bubbles persist, you may need to carefully lift the paper and reapply, ensuring no adhesive has dried.
Seams not joining cleanly
Ensure you are using a sharp blade for cutting and that the edges are butted together precisely. Check that the adhesive is adequately applied to the edges of the paper.
Paper tearing during application
This may indicate the paper is too wet or being handled too roughly. Ensure you follow the 'booking' time recommended by the adhesive manufacturer and handle the paper with care, especially when positioning it on the wall.
Uneven finish after painting
Ensure the lining paper is fully dry before painting and that two thin coats of paint are applied rather than one thick coat. Check for any adhesive residue on the surface before painting.
