The
goal of the book is to provide professional guidance to the novice installer. If you
read the Table of Contents above you will see the scope of this ebook is broader than
just hanging paper.
You will find chapters on correct wall preparation. This
includes the difference between priming and sizing as well as stripping and liners.
The chapter on Types of Wallcoverings covers
more wallcovering products than some professionals have installed.
Design Tips is
invaluable if you are not sure how to choose your wallcovering. The Tricks of the Trade chapter will make several
tasks easier for you and if you have a ceiling to do, you're going to love the Ceilings chapter.
As you can see from the Table of Contents, there is a chapter on just
about everything the amateur paperhanger would need to know (and more) for their first
paperhanging project. There are also links to even more help as well as contacts for
those who may be considering a career in paperhanging. This resource is just 99 cents!
