Is mist coat ok before applying wallpaper?

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.03 PM

Hi, I have a newly plastered wall and I have mist coated the wall however the plan is to wallpaper it so now I realise I needed to size the wall. My question is, is a mist coat ok to put wallpaper onto or do I still need to size the wall? (Can I size the wall over the mist coat?)

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You still need to apply size but the mist coat won't affect it, in fact it's helped seal the plaster for you.

It is always best to paint the new plaster before wallpapering onto the surface
