Painting wallpaper..bubbles

Degsy · 2009-03-18 20:50:23

I recently hung some paintable wallpaper in the hall.When i started to paint over it with emulsion i noticed a lot of bubbles forming. I manged to sort most of them out but there's still a few and the wall needs another coat. Will i get more bubbles with the next coat and whats the best way to prevent this?

Use a pin to prick the bubbles and apply a layer of durabond over the painted paper and then paint another layer over that.

There must be extra humidity when you painted over the wall paper.
