First you need to buy putty. You yourself can hardly decide on the right amount, so measure the room (width, height, length) and inform the seller information so that he calculates the number of bags. You will also need a solution of chalk and gypsum, a primer on concrete, sandpaper, a bar, 2 spatulas, a roller with an elongated handle. It is advisable to have a ladder at hand – it is better and more convenient than a kitchen table. It is worth visiting the building materials store once and buy all of the above.
The first stage is the removal of the old finish. Moisten the foam rubber with water and walk on all walls. Wait 5-10 minutes until the wallpaper is softened and remove them with a spatula. While the wall dries, inspect it thoroughly. It is better to do it in daylight hours. If you find the holes from the nail, cracks, fill them with a previously prepared solution of chalk and gypsum. Next, smooth the surface with smooth movements. The result should be a smooth, without roughness wall. Wipe the dust from the surfaces and you can proceed to the primer. Here you will need spatulas. Dilute putty, smear it on the blade of the spatula and apply it to the wall. If there are excesses, delete them. Work should be done from top to bottom. When the entire surface dries, roll it and, if necessary. After the next drying, put it with the finish putty. When everything dries, you can safely start gluing wallpaper.
