Judy Ford on Nov 12, 2014I have not tried this treatment.. but I would think that a good wallpaper paste would work will for this application. I would probably 'size' my wall well so if I ever wanted to remove it that it wouldn't be such a daunting job. If all you want to do is hide the uneven texture of the walls you could use the product made for using with wallpaper to hide just such conditions. It goes up like wallpaper and hides a multitude of errors in the appearance of the wall.. then wallpaper as usual. Wallpaper seems to becoming back in style again. Good luck with your family room.Helpful Reply

Laurie Wells Phinney on Nov 12, 2014I did both my kitchen floor and bathroom wall in Kraft Paper. I used Elmer's Glue (Purchased by the Gallon) diluted with enough water to make a medium thick slurry. I simply dipped my paper in a large metal bowl filled with this mixture and applied. It is messy, so have a supply of damp rags handy. DO NOT attempt to use paper towels. Wearing gloves is not advisable either. :-) Once the paper was thoroughly dry (did several layers on the kitchen floor), I mixed a dark stain with clear Verathane and applied a total of 4 coats, allowing each layer to dry thoroughly before applying the next.Helpful Reply
