1 00:00:09,291 --> 00:00:11,583 So just like when we did the 2 00:00:11,583 --> 00:00:15,833 lining paper, I'm using a roller to apply the paste to the back of the paper. 3 00:00:16,208 --> 00:00:19,208 It is my preferred option. Try the brush as well. 4 00:00:19,208 --> 00:00:22,166 The brush works just as well. This is really personal choice. 5 00:00:22,666 --> 00:00:28,041 So I've got the first part of the paper pasted. 6 00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,416 And as you can see, you've got an overhang off the end of the table. 7 00:00:32,791 --> 00:00:36,250 We're going for a vertical drop this time, so we're not going to use a concertina 8 00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:39,833 fold as we've previously seen, or the end to center. 9 00:00:40,583 --> 00:00:44,500 This is a three quarter fold, so I'm taking the longer part of the paper 10 00:00:45,375 --> 00:00:48,291 and folding it past the center down 11 00:00:48,291 --> 00:00:50,750 towards the end of the paper 12 00:00:52,166 --> 00:00:55,375 and then just making sure it - a technical hitch 13 00:00:55,375 --> 00:00:58,916 - that we don't have creases like that because that would 14 00:00:58,916 --> 00:01:02,958 stop the paper from soaking evenly so it needs to be laid flat 15 00:01:04,083 --> 00:01:06,375 . And as always, with the edges 16 00:01:07,666 --> 00:01:11,500 nice and tight to stop the paper or the paste rather from drying out 17 00:01:12,125 --> 00:01:15,958 instead of soaking in, then you've just got this smaller part of the end. 18 00:01:16,208 --> 00:01:18,750 So just finish this off 19 00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:19,833 with the roller. 20 00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:22,583 You see nice and quick and again 21 00:01:22,958 --> 00:01:25,958 the paper on the edge of the table. 22 00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:30,333 So it supports the paper, but also prevents the paste 23 00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:34,375 ending up on the table and then getting on 24 00:01:34,375 --> 00:01:37,041 to the front or the face of the paper. 25 00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:41,125 So that's the last of the paste on. 26 00:01:42,875 --> 00:01:45,375 Fold that in. And as you can see, we've 27 00:01:45,375 --> 00:01:48,875 now got a much larger part, so hence three quarter fold. 28 00:01:49,333 --> 00:01:51,916 I'll leave that to soak for approximately six minutes. 29 00:01:52,416 --> 00:01:54,041 Again, always read the label. 30 00:01:54,041 --> 00:01:57,291 You really do need to get that soaking time right for a better hang. 31 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,083 Now marking out for a vertical drop. 32 00:02:07,375 --> 00:02:09,500 Remarkably similar for a horizontal 33 00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,750 just twist it through 90 degrees, it really is that simple. 34 00:02:13,375 --> 00:02:15,458 So as with the cross lining. 35 00:02:15,958 --> 00:02:19,083 We came down from the top of the ceiling 36 00:02:19,375 --> 00:02:22,541 and put a mark and then struck across with a horizontal line. 37 00:02:23,833 --> 00:02:25,541 This time we need a vertical line. 38 00:02:25,541 --> 00:02:27,208 We refer to it as a plumb line. 39 00:02:27,208 --> 00:02:30,000 Plumb, just meaning straight down. 40 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000 And now I've put this one in earlier because I was having a think, 41 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,875 because it's a chimney breast wall, a chimney breast is generally the feature in any room. 42 00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:40,791 So that is where we would normally start, especially with a patterned paper. 43 00:02:41,583 --> 00:02:47,875 Quite often we would come straight down the center and have two rolls either side. 44 00:02:47,958 --> 00:02:51,041 This is slightly too large, so it's not working that way. 45 00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:55,541 We'd end up with two in the middle with a tiny little gap 46 00:02:55,541 --> 00:02:59,625 either side that won't work the paper will lift. 47 00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:02,333 So what I've done this time is I've worked out 48 00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:05,291 where the center of the paper would be- dead center of the wall. 49 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:09,916 And so I've marked the plumb line to the left hand side of the paper. 50 00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:12,750 This way we'll have a piece of paper 51 00:03:13,333 --> 00:03:18,083 and this works, whether it be plain, but especially patterned, dead center. 52 00:03:18,416 --> 00:03:22,375 And then that will give us the chance of going round the external corner 53 00:03:22,791 --> 00:03:26,458 a decent amount before overlapping, like we did with the lining paper. 54 00:03:27,333 --> 00:03:29,875 So that's all I've done to mark 55 00:03:30,875 --> 00:03:32,291 the chimney breast wall. 56 00:03:32,291 --> 00:03:37,458 Worked out how the paper is going to sit it best and then put my plumb line down. 57 00:03:37,541 --> 00:03:41,125 This, in this case, to the left at the center of the paper. 58 00:03:41,375 --> 00:03:43,458 So the paper sits dead center. 59 00:03:47,333 --> 00:03:50,375 So hanging the vertical. 60 00:03:51,625 --> 00:03:53,375 Paper and this is the same, 61 00:03:53,375 --> 00:03:56,166 whether it be a wood ingrain like this, a plain paper, 62 00:03:56,791 --> 00:04:00,625 a patterned paper, embossed, whatever it may be, if it's a vertical drop. 63 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,666 We get our marking out sorted. And as you can see, 64 00:04:03,666 --> 00:04:06,250 as previously mentioned, we've got the three quarter fold here. 65 00:04:07,666 --> 00:04:09,833 I'm going to undo the longest fold. 66 00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:13,708 The reason for not undoing the whole piece of paper 67 00:04:13,708 --> 00:04:17,041 at once is then we have issues with the lower part of the paper 68 00:04:17,041 --> 00:04:21,708 sticking to the wall before we're ready to smooth it out. So 69 00:04:23,041 --> 00:04:26,541 take hold of the paper, peel it back a good few inches. 70 00:04:26,958 --> 00:04:29,750 Don't be tempted just to hold the corners and let it drop. 71 00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:30,833 Otherwise, you may end up with 72 00:04:30,833 --> 00:04:33,958 just two corners of your paper in each hand and the rest on the floor. 73 00:04:34,666 --> 00:04:38,333 So come down a few inches, then let the paper unravel. 74 00:04:39,333 --> 00:04:42,208 OK. Ensuring you don't let the paste come 75 00:04:42,208 --> 00:04:44,000 in contact with the floor or the wall. 76 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,125 As always, we've cut it slightly long. 77 00:04:48,458 --> 00:04:51,916 The wall area is 230 so I've cut 240. 78 00:04:52,958 --> 00:04:56,875 And again, my right hand is close to the wall. 79 00:04:56,875 --> 00:04:58,250 It's touching the wall. 80 00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:01,791 I don't need to be doing this and I'm holding it as level as I can. 81 00:05:02,541 --> 00:05:07,500 That helps me to line the paper 82 00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:10,125 to the plumb line. 83 00:05:11,083 --> 00:05:13,708 And then out comes the sweep brush. 84 00:05:14,791 --> 00:05:17,833 And I would urge you when you are doing a vertical drop. 85 00:05:18,958 --> 00:05:20,833 Just tuck it up into the ceiling. 86 00:05:21,708 --> 00:05:26,458 The reason for that is it then just forms an extra edge its stuck to, 87 00:05:26,833 --> 00:05:29,958 because again, with the heavier papers, if you don't stick them to the ceiling, 88 00:05:30,583 --> 00:05:32,416 can start to slowly pull away. 89 00:05:32,416 --> 00:05:36,000 And as you're working your way down the wall, the paper is following you. 90 00:05:36,458 --> 00:05:38,958 So with the heavier papers? 91 00:05:38,958 --> 00:05:41,541 Just make sure a little bit of contact with the ceiling. 92 00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:44,750 You'll need to wipe it off anyway, so it's not an issue. 93 00:05:45,041 --> 00:05:47,583 So, as always, from the center out to the edges 94 00:05:48,583 --> 00:05:51,291 to ensure we get rid of all of the air bubbles. 95 00:05:54,708 --> 00:06:02,541 What I can't use here. Is the spatula. Because it's textured it's not going to go between the wood ingrains, 96 00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:06,625 and also if it was an embossed paper, it might flatten the pattern. 97 00:06:07,166 --> 00:06:12,791 So here even if the spatula is your preferred option, 98 00:06:12,791 --> 00:06:17,958 you'll just have to switch back to the sweep brush. Down we go. 99 00:06:20,833 --> 00:06:22,541 And center outwards. 100 00:06:22,541 --> 00:06:27,125 And again, just using my fingernails just gently to push in. 101 00:06:27,833 --> 00:06:31,333 Now then again, when it comes to cutting these, 102 00:06:31,333 --> 00:06:35,750 if your preferred option has become the caulking tool and the knife, 103 00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:39,583 not with wood ingrain paper. 104 00:06:39,583 --> 00:06:42,375 The little bits of wood just catch on the knife 105 00:06:42,375 --> 00:06:44,750 and the paper will tear. Not cut. 106 00:06:47,375 --> 00:06:53,500 So we are back to either a pencil line or. 107 00:06:55,250 --> 00:07:00,000 The back of the scissors just to form that crease 108 00:07:00,791 --> 00:07:04,083 again, I've got good lighting in here, so I can see the crease. 109 00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:08,708 If I didn't, I just use a pencil line and cut from the other side. 110 00:07:11,416 --> 00:07:13,875 You can actually hear probably 111 00:07:14,708 --> 00:07:17,166 that is not going through. 112 00:07:18,208 --> 00:07:19,916 The actual wood ingrain, 113 00:07:19,916 --> 00:07:23,666 the little chips of wood, just offering resistance to being cut. 114 00:07:23,666 --> 00:07:27,291 That is why your knife is not going to be good enough. 115 00:07:28,791 --> 00:07:30,666 Then lay that up back up there. 116 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,250 Smooth it off, and then all we'll do 117 00:07:36,208 --> 00:07:40,041 is just repeat the process along the skirting. 118 00:07:42,750 --> 00:07:44,750 Just use it back of the blade there 119 00:07:45,875 --> 00:07:47,541 to form the crease, 120 00:07:48,291 --> 00:07:49,416 and then 121 00:07:53,375 --> 00:07:55,208 Along we go. 122 00:08:02,041 --> 00:08:04,083 Nice and straight. 123 00:08:07,750 --> 00:08:08,791 And there you have it. 124 00:08:08,791 --> 00:08:14,041 All I need to do now is with my sponge and clean water is just wipe 125 00:08:14,041 --> 00:08:18,791 the skirting and the ceiling edge to get rid of any remaining paste residue.
