Before you start preparing the walls for gluing,you need to remove the old finish. It is not always easy to do this, but still have to. If this is not done, there will be no other way from the other works. Wallpaper, whitewash and old paint should be removed completely. Difficulties can arise with oil paint, so here an exception is made: if something has not been removed, these plots simply need to be plastered. If we talk about plaster, then first you need to analyze its condition: check for cracks, crumbles or not. Also, the wall needs to be taped to determine where the plaster has moved away from the wall. If such places are found, plaster is knocked down only in these areas. If they occupy most of the wall, it is better to remove plaster completely. In general, the algorithm for preparing walls is as follows: 1. Repair damaged areas on plaster. Traces of nails hide with the help of putty and sand. To make the surface smoother, grind it when it dries. Remove the dust and cobwebs in the corners of the room with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. Also you need to remove all the dirt on the walls and clean it with a rubber scraper from small particles. Mold and fungus should be removed with a solution of bleach, and then cover these parts of the walls with a protective primer. 3. If the walls are plastered not so long ago, they should be covered with a protective primer. Primers should be selected under the background color of the wallpaper. If the walls were painted with glossy paint, they should be sanded. This is done with the help of fine sandpaper. This polishing removes the gloss and makes the surface rough. After removing the dust from the walls and floor. Wipe the walls with a rag. Rough surfaces (concrete, slag blocks and the like) should be polished. Then cover with one layer of casting mass, so that the wall becomes smooth. Again, polish it with sandpaper before smoothness. Vacuum and wipe the walls with a rag. In the end, cover with a protective primer. All is ready. You can glue the wallpaper. If still it was not possible to get the walls smooth without flaws, although all methods have been tried, try to paste wallpaper with a chaotic pattern that will hide some of the disadvantages of the walls.
