You can use a stuff called polybond,buy it from b&q,it will

seal the paper below.Just paint it on the walls and let dry,

Its used in the building trade to seal tiles before you put

another layer on top.Apply then just paste your wallpaper

as usual..its cheap.

I find most B&Q staff are clueless these days, they do sell a pva bond but just do as fallenangel said & you cant go wrong.

Hi,are you trying to stick one vinyl onto another if so you will need to make sure everything is clean and grease free, or nothing will stick for long then if it is vinyl you are sticking to you will need to break the surface slightly by giving it a gentle rub, down with medium sand paper and then seal with a oil based eggshell paint, and then stick your new wall covering with a ready mixed adhesive allow a couple of minutes to soak then hang, if it is another paper you are sticking to make sure all the seams are stuck down well and try not to make new joins on top of old ones

Just tell them your plastering an old wall and you want

something to seal it.Polybond is a pva sealer,it may come

under a couple of names now.

pva is not a proper wall covering adhesive, it doesn't have a fungicide in it to prevent mold growth where a ready mixed adhesive as, in my 32 years as a decorator i have hung quiet a bit of paper in humid and damp conditions with no probs, and if its a vinyl you are sticking on to even pva isn't 100% without keying it first, and you know how damp caravans get when cooking and in winter
