Uneven bedroom walls
1 Answers
Having just removed the wallpaper in all the rooms in my house, the walls underneath are slightly 'dimpled'. It is not severe as to warrant costly re-plastering, therefore is there any way to reduce the impact of these blemishes via a type of paint, paint effect or a particular product?

Then slap on a thin layer over the walls by getting a cricket ball sized lump (smaller if you need a bit of practice with this) on your applicator and spreading out on the wall like butter, enough to hide the dimples. Let it dry, which takes a few hours, sand away any ridges and then undercoat and topcoat with paint using a roller. I've just restored our apartment this way and its really not expensive, not difficult and not terribly time consuming.
