dainagon Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I would love to wire my new house, but I am not using any wallpaper. Will the tape wire show up under the paint? I have never done this before. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The only way to accomplish this, in my opinion is to: -make sure there are no ripples in the tape, smooth it down really well with a credit card. -cover the tape with thin shipping tape to avoid corrosion. Again, smooth it with a credit card. -apply a very thin layer of drywall compound over the entire wall to keep the wall texture consistent and wait 24 hours to really dry. Sand it smooth, I would do this outside. If inside wear a dust mask. Vacuum really well and wipe down excess drywall dust. -paint the area with with primer. Are you sure wallpaper wouldn't be easier?

havanaholly Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 You can also make templates of your walls and paint those and cover your walls and tape wire with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
