Wallpaper on new plaster.

The plastering was done 18 months ago. Now need to wallpeper for the first time.

Anyone know if the plaster needs to be prepared in any way?

Thanks in advance.

    try making a very dilute paste mixture and rolling it on the new plaster first. This will be soaked up quickly and give your new wallpaper better, easier application.
