can you fill gaps in lining paper with easifill?

[TryC]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know if I can use easifill to fill in gaps in lining paper at all?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Yes, need to be very carefully if sanding as paper may ‘rough up’

ah, it is intended for painting though. so could you suggest another method that would be kinder to the lining paper at all?

 

Thanks.

Imagine it would be ok if you use a fine sandpaper and a sanding block

If your going to paint the lining paper 

I would think twice about filing 

You will highlight every joint 

Probably neater and quicker line over what you have

if I am going to line over it, wouldn't I then have lots more overlaps that would be highlighted when I paint it?

You answered your own question 

Strip it and start again

I cannot. it is over wallrock which is on the wall horizontally and the lining paper is on vertically. it would basically take it off. hence my question about other possibilities to remedy

 

but thanks for your advice

I filled some minor gaps in lining paper with caulk a few years back...despite 5-6 coats of paint it's glaringly obvious it's there as it seems to stay shiny that bit. Haunts me each day. ?
