tile over wallpaper paste?
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 11:19 am
We spend a week or so removing the old vinyl wallpaper in the bathroom square inch per square inch. We repaired the old plasterboard and I sealed it with watered down emulsion.
Then, because I thought we would wallpaper again, I sized the wall with watered down wallpaper paste. Now I think it may be better to cover the wall with tiles. Do I need to scrub the wallpaper paste off, or won't it interfere with the tile cement?
We are also using a tile trim on the edge of the bath, so do we start from there or should we use a baton and fill in the bottom tiles later?
I know we should call in the expert, but we are skinned and need to do the bathroom because water leaked to the neighbour downstairs.....
