Question 4

I have recently stripped some wallpaper and am now left with drywall that has some glue and quite a few little places where th drywall paper covering has pulled away. My understanding is that the conventional process to deal with this is to apply an oil based sales, then skim coat, then sand, then prime and paint. I am looking for something less toxic for the first two steps of this process(oil based sealer and skim coat with joint compound). Would this project work in lieu of the oil based sealer? If so, would it be ok to do a skim coat over it? View answer

Question 10

There is wallpaper in the home I am purchasing. I would prefer not to remove it because of lead paint concerns. I was told that in order to paint directly over the wallpaper, it needed to be sealed with an oil-based primer first, so it doesn't loosen. Will AFM Safecoat Primer work for this, or do I need another type of product? If so, what would be recommended (I want something No-VOC)? Thanks for your help. View answer
