Primer

Best primer to use…

I have put on two coats of Gardz over wallpaper boarder.

This is my plan in the next few days…

1). A couple coats of plus 3 until I can’t see wallpaper boarder seam. Sand.

2). Prime

3). Orange peel texture to match current wall

4). Prime

5). Paint

Does it matter what primer I use?

Thank you.

Hiding wallpaper boarder

Hello. I have tried everything to get the backing of wallpaper boarder off my walls, but nothing has worked. I have gotten the top layer off, but I can’t get the paper backing off.

I’ve moved on and plan on covering it up.

So far, I’ve done two coats of Gardz to seal it to the wall.

What are my next steps? Should I use 2-4 coats of plus 3 or joint compound? Texture, prime, paint?

Any help would be great!

I have tried a steamer, spray, vinegar, laundry softener…. I’ve let it sit on the paper, soaked it, scraped it….

Thank you
