Hi all, what do you lads do to protect the paper

Always a nightmare tbh. I usually warn the customer it may get slightly damaged and just be extremely careful down that side of the wall when I'm putting on. It's risky putting masking tape down it, maybe low adhesive frog tape would do a job?

Frog tape straight on the joint of the paper take your time doing it skim pull off just before last trowel and make sure it’s nice and neat. Done plenty of these in Big expensive houses that get rented out.

[smoother09]

There's loads of immigrants over here I wouldn't worry too much about it the language barrier slows them down for now!

Show us a picture of the job!

 

[Donzo]

Damp plaster usually stains paper, it just leaves you open for a claim against you.
You might get away with it, better to avoid. Decline job.

There ain't no job he's just a thread starter! Waits for the idiots to pipe up about plastering into wallpaper lol

 

[Cockney]

Hence asking for a picture mate! It’s bullshit.

Wouldn't touch it. Gonna end badly. You can put all your caveats to them in advance and they'll be like ye do your best until the inevitable happens and you will need to replace all the wallpaper

Hi all, what do you lads do to protect the paper

just done a repair 10ft x10ft on ceiling in the castle I work hand painted wall paper £600 pound per drop boss man in a panic about not damaging paper/ told him stop panicking just take your time and don't slash water about

Hi all, what do you lads do to protect the paper

Mask mask and mask again

 

[Rigsby]

Like Choppa said painters frog tape up the edge then for me I would use renderers drop sheet, sticky side on the frog tape stretched across and tacked in place with frog tape.

There is a risk of where you go up to the edge the paper could peel.

I have done it in the past and it is ok but the stress is not worth it....

 

[windy]

Surly with tape it can still bleed across onto wallpaper ?

Not really.
That's why it's called masking tape
