Previous owner of my house wallpapered directly onto plasterboard / drywall
So I (28F) have moved into a new house and discovered that the previous owner has wallpapered directly onto unprimed plasterboard then painted over the wallpaper. It's been a nightmare.. the paper layer of the board is coming off in chunks with the wallpaper.
The whole house seems to be done in the same way. I have bought guardz to try to seal it when I finally get all the paper off.
Is there anything that can make this process easier? Will guardz work or is there anything else I need to do? How damaged does the wall have to be before I consider needing to replace the board?
I've never done anything like this before. Thanks so much in advance!!!
