Hi there!
I'm new to the forum and would really appreciate any help you can give. I had originally posted this to the painting forum not realizing there was a drywall forum, so I'm sorry for the duplicate post.
I'm in the process of removing wallpaper from what I suspect was put up on unsealed drywall. The removal is taking off pieces of the drywall paper and in some places you can see the brown board of the drywall. Also, I'm using one of the round scoring tools and think I've used too much pressure so have probably damaged the drywall that way too.
Ultimately I would like to have a knockdown texture on the walls with paint. Here is my plan:
(1) Seal the drywall with Gardz Dry Wall Repair so it won't bubble up.
(2) Where the damage is deep, repair with drywall compound and sand.
(3) Texture over the repaired drywall.
(4) Prime
(5) Paint
A few questions:
(1) Do I need to seal over the texture as well?
(2) Do I need to worry about repairing the drywall damage (it's not very deep) given that I'm texturing the walls anyhow?
(3) Should I just skim the whole wall rather than repair specific sections? If so, do I texture right on top of the skimming?
I'm sure I'll come up with more questions, but thank you in advance for your help!
