Painting Over a Wall that was Previously Wallpapered



When painting (Latex) over a wall that has been stripped of wallcovering,

ALWAYS

remove ALL existing wallpaper paste!

If you fail to remove all the residue on the wall,
the paint will either slip off the surface or eventually flake off in pasted areas.

If you are not sure if old paste has been removed,
paint the wall with oil base paint to seal it,
this will work as a primer and can be painted over
with your latex paint!
