Wallpaper Question Sizing / Painting

I have stripped a plasterboard wall of wallpaper and intend to re-paper it. Can anyone please tell me if l need to 'size the wall seeing as it has been papered previously.

I am intending to paint the paintable wallpaper once hung etc. Can anyone please give me guidance as to how long l should really leave it to truly dry. The wallpaper is Super Fresco embossed.

Many thanks

  • My MIL used that paper and thinks it's fab. Not sure how long it will take to dry - I think as long as a standard wall - touch dry in a couple of hours. Read the wallpaper instructions and the paint tin to make a better guess.

    Sorry I'm not sure what "size" the wall please.
