- Repairing drywall damage |
Dear Shell, I have taken off some wallpaper and border. Some of the drywall paper stuck to it. How should I fix this surface so that I can paint over it and it look normal? Thanks, Tony Dear Tony, 1. Clean area by using 1 cup Fleecy Fabric Softener mixed with 1 quart hot water. 2. After rinsing apply 1 coat of Weldbond Wood Adhesive to damp area where the paper came off. 3. Patch with light weight spackling compound. 4. Lightly sand with 180-200 grit sandpaper. 5. Prime with Alkyd Fast Dry Primer 6. Paint with Kitchen and Bath Paint. It's just that easy.
