Wallpapering question here! If you have a few small patches of spackled wall do they need to have sizing?

Question

Do they need to have sizing applied to them before hte wallpaper goes up? There is one patch which butts up to the ceiling.

Answer 1

I would.  Don't spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar.   A job done well saves the spit from h**l.

Answer 2

I am no expert, but I think I would because you might get a "bubble" if you don't.  Happy papering.  Wanna come to my house? LOL

Answer 3

Put primer or sealer on it.  If the patched spot dries to fast and draws the glue away from the paper you will get bubble in the area.  Best to be safe.  If you don't have primer or sealer you can use a paint primer, or just put wallpaper adhesive on the spot and let it dry before you paper.
