I have damaged walls in my kitchen and lined them with heavy duty wall liner. I followed the directions on the roll. All went up well. After the paste dried, I noticed a gap where I butted the paper together. I was told to leave it alone, when I paint the liner, it will expand from the paint and the space will disappear. I can't see how since the wall liner in solidly pasted to the wall. Can I spackle or use joint compound in the spaces?+
Skim it with joint compound , prime with Zinnser Cover Stain or other oil primer and paint. Or if you can find Zinnsers Gardz, prime with that after skimming and sanding smooth.
The instructions say nothing about what to do if the wall liner contracts when it drys. I was talking to a friend who told me to leave the spaces alone as the wall liner will expand when it absorbs the paint.
Thanks chrism for your response. I will try what you suggest.
