so we are having some replastering done at the moment. couple of walls are being re-skimmed, and two more plus ceiling have had the old plaster hacked off and are being plasterboarded before being skimmed.
we've painted on fresh plaster before, but this time I wanted to put lining paper up, as it's the hall and stairs we're doing, and so I won't be so easily able to fix the hairline cracks that will inevitably develop (old house, we get some seasonal movement).
do you put a mist coat of thinned emulsion down before papering, as you would when painting? and how long would it be best to leave it before papering?
